0:52
Speaker 2: Show is the eight top stories of the day. Used
0:54
Speaker 2: to do it every day, Now we only do it
0:56
Speaker 2: on Fridays. It's a service we provide. We recap the week,
1:00
Speaker 2: get you ready for the weekend at the exact same time,
1:03
Speaker 2: giving you the eight top stories that we have to discuss.
1:06
Speaker 2: No Bucky Jacobson here today. That's the ninth biggest story
1:10
Speaker 2: of the day, so it didn't quite make the o cho. Yeah,
1:13
Speaker 2: so well close, couldn't find any audio to support it.
1:17
Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan is here though. My name is Chuck Powell,
1:20
Speaker 2: and here we go. We'll get started with the Mariners,
1:23
Speaker 2: whose twenty twenty five season came to an end at
1:26
Speaker 2: the beginning of the week, losing in crushing fashion to
1:30
Speaker 2: the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series
1:34
Speaker 2: Game number seven, And so reluctantly we give ourselves to
1:40
Speaker 2: the offseason, which has officially begun for the Mariners, and
1:44
Speaker 2: it really doesn't until we hear from the three wise men.
1:49
Speaker 2: Dan Wilson, Justin Hollander, Jerry Depoto all met with the
1:53
Speaker 2: media yesterday and very informal fashion. It wasn't behind microphone,
1:59
Speaker 2: it wasn't behind the desk. It was just standing around
2:02
Speaker 2: with the media and openly answering whatever questions the media
2:07
Speaker 2: had for them. Jerry Depoto, of course, has had to
2:11
Speaker 2: consider all of the criticism of Dan Wilson and his
2:15
Speaker 2: decisions in Game number seven back on Monday all week long,
2:19
Speaker 2: and he just wanted to clear the air on how
2:21
Speaker 2: much he supports his manager.
2:25
Speaker 3: Is calm, He is methodical, and everything he does, he
2:29
Speaker 3: trusts in the people around him, from the coaches to
2:32
Speaker 3: the players, especially the players leans in and wants it
2:36
Speaker 3: to be a player driven environment with player leadership that
2:40
Speaker 3: comes from the clubhouse out and you know, his leadership
2:43
Speaker 3: style is to cultivate that leadership within the clubhouse and
2:47
Speaker 3: has been from the time he was working as a
2:49
Speaker 3: special assistant in player development.
2:53
Speaker 2: You know he is.
2:55
Speaker 1: He is.
2:57
Speaker 3: More thoughtful about the as a person than just about
3:01
Speaker 3: anybody I've been around.
3:03
Speaker 2: Any Dan Wilson not going anywhere. I think we knew that. Yeah,
3:09
Speaker 2: and yeah, that pretty much emphasizes how much Jerry Depoto
3:13
Speaker 2: supports him. And we've talked about this over the years.
3:17
Speaker 2: There's so much more to being a manager. There's a
3:19
Speaker 2: reason they call it a manager, not a head coach.
3:21
Speaker 2: At the major league baseball level, I mean, you're dealing with,
3:24
Speaker 2: you know, somebody, You're dealing with twenty six guys on
3:28
Speaker 2: a daily basis that were the best player on their
3:31
Speaker 2: team for almost their entire lives. Okay, and then you're
3:35
Speaker 2: dealing with guys who are making millions of dollars a
3:38
Speaker 2: lot more than you are, and some of them are
3:41
Speaker 2: making a lot more than their teammates, and some of
3:44
Speaker 2: them aren't even as good as some guys that make
3:50
Speaker 2: make more money or less money, or whatever the case
3:52
Speaker 2: may be. You see what I'm saying, And so it
3:55
Speaker 2: is a constant. And then you're dealing people that have
3:58
Speaker 2: personal lives sometimes interfere. And then you have relationships, you know,
4:03
Speaker 2: guys that get into battles within the clubhouse that don't
4:08
Speaker 2: like each other. So that really is the main job
4:12
Speaker 2: of the manager, managing all of the personalities, managing the
4:16
Speaker 2: day to day game operations and x'es and o's are important,
4:21
Speaker 2: it's an important part of it. But if you're good
4:24
Speaker 2: at all that other stuff, then there are ways to
4:27
Speaker 2: handle the x'es and o's better, which I'll talk to
4:30
Speaker 2: talk about here in a moment. But that's Jerry Depoto saying,
4:33
Speaker 2: not only is Dan Wilson good at all of that
4:35
Speaker 2: other stuff managing all of that stuff, He's the best
4:37
Speaker 2: I've ever seen at managing all of that stuff. And
4:40
Speaker 2: so that's why Dan Wilson, despite our criticisms, which I
4:44
Speaker 2: think personally are legitimate, of his in game operations, that's
4:48
Speaker 2: why he's not going anywhere because the things that really
4:51
Speaker 2: are the biggest part of his job. He's been very
4:54
Speaker 2: good at and obviously Jerry Depoto thinks he's awesome at.
4:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was't.
4:59
Speaker 5: It was I hearing Jerry's thoughts on what Dan's strengths
5:03
Speaker 5: are from, you know, just from their perspective, and hearing
5:08
Speaker 5: him be emotional about his manager and about his team
5:10
Speaker 5: and everything. I mean, the I thought of Jerry's press
5:13
Speaker 5: conference the best part or not press conference, but you know,
5:17
Speaker 5: scrum whatever. The best part for me was when Jessman
5:20
Speaker 5: asked him one word to describe how you feel right
5:25
Speaker 5: now or how you feel about this this season, and
5:28
Speaker 5: he said, you know, I'm gonna give you a different
5:30
Speaker 5: answer now than I probably will a month from now,
5:32
Speaker 5: but disappointed. Yeah, And then he got emotional and teared
5:37
Speaker 5: up and then just finished with yeah, just disappointed. And
5:41
Speaker 5: I almost got tiery just watching him, because you know, again,
5:45
Speaker 5: we all think so many people think these guys are
5:47
Speaker 5: just up there doing things. They don't really care about
5:49
Speaker 5: these things, And Jerry has gotten a lot of flack
5:52
Speaker 5: for not caring, Yes, but clearly he does.
5:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, jess Me will do that today. She's like the
5:57
Speaker 2: Roy Firestone of modern day broadcast.
6:00
Speaker 6: What I've always called her, Yeah, she wants you to cry.
6:03
Speaker 2: Ah, he's doing that in the office too. As for
6:06
Speaker 2: Jerry's thoughts on the actual that seventh inning decision that
6:10
Speaker 2: will be debated for generations, it's hard to make those
6:13
Speaker 2: decisions in real time. I'll never begrudge him Dan for
6:17
Speaker 2: making a move he believed in end quote, so not
6:21
Speaker 2: holding it against him, but not exactly supporting the decision.
6:24
Speaker 2: He's not exactly saying, oh, it's the right move. Zarta
6:27
Speaker 2: has been great in that situation, but obviously that's not
6:31
Speaker 2: going to interfere. Dan Wilson's been given sort of control
6:35
Speaker 2: over those in game operations, which was a big question
6:38
Speaker 2: mark back in the Scott Service days. People thought the
6:41
Speaker 2: decisions were being made overhead. I can tell you personally,
6:44
Speaker 2: whenever I've asked Justin or Jerry about that specific topic,
6:48
Speaker 2: they always, whether it's on Mike or off Mike, say, oh,
6:53
Speaker 2: that's Dan Toacy, we don't have anything to do with it.
6:55
Speaker 2: And so I don't know why they would consistently lie
6:58
Speaker 2: about that if it wasn't true. All that said, something
7:01
Speaker 2: that I talked about yesterday in our nine o'clock hour.
7:04
Speaker 2: I think Dan Wilson needs some help. Yeah, And I
7:07
Speaker 2: do think he struggled with in game decisions, and it
7:10
Speaker 2: wasn't just a standalone Eddie Bizardo decision. I think he
7:13
Speaker 2: struggled with in game decisions all season long in his
7:17
Speaker 2: first full year on the job. And I certainly trust
7:20
Speaker 2: that he will get better and the game will slow
7:22
Speaker 2: down for him the more that he manages. But I
7:25
Speaker 2: think they need an upgrade at bench coach. I think
7:28
Speaker 2: there are a lot of great candidates out there, guys
7:31
Speaker 2: that while he's, you know, spinning all the plates and
7:34
Speaker 2: doing all the juggling, there's somebody that is just thinking
7:38
Speaker 2: about strategy, that is just there as a sounding board,
7:41
Speaker 2: or maybe just somebody saying, hey, Dan, you know Springer
7:44
Speaker 2: and Guerrero could come up here in the next inning. Yeah,
7:48
Speaker 2: maybe we want Muonios up. Yeah, maybe we want him
7:51
Speaker 2: up now.
7:51
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:53
Speaker 2: And maybe that happened. Maybe many actor did that in
7:55
Speaker 2: the dugout. I don't know, but but I just I
7:58
Speaker 2: think that he could use some Yoda type sage sitting there.
8:05
Speaker 4: I don't think it could hurt that's.
8:06
Speaker 2: Not looking to climb the corporate ladder, that's not looking
8:09
Speaker 2: to take his job, that respects him loves him and
8:13
Speaker 2: wants him to do well, and I think that that
8:16
Speaker 2: might be something the Mariners could tap into this offseason.
8:19
Speaker 2: But all right, well, we've got a lot of time
8:21
Speaker 2: talk Mariners offseason coming up throughout the entire winter, and
8:28
Speaker 2: at one point I will get really excited about doing that,
8:30
Speaker 2: but maybe that's not now. In the meantime, Item number
8:34
Speaker 2: two on the O Show, World Series Game one tonight,
8:39
Speaker 2: if you're excited about.
8:40
Speaker 7: I do care?
8:43
Speaker 2: First batch, five pm from Toronto tonight. Interesting decision for
8:50
Speaker 2: John Schneider, the worst, John, the Bad John Schneider, Treya Savage. Yes,
8:56
Speaker 2: Treya Savage is getting the start for the Blue Jayson
8:58
Speaker 2: Game one. I mean they've had seven days off. They
9:00
Speaker 2: could start Kevin Gosman. Yeah, and instead John Schneider is
9:05
Speaker 2: going with rookie Treya Savage. We talked about this earlier
9:08
Speaker 2: in the show. He has more postseason starts in his
9:12
Speaker 2: career than regular season starts in his career. Can you
9:15
Speaker 2: believe that somebody that three career regular season starts and
9:20
Speaker 2: is starting Game one of the World Series when Schneider
9:23
Speaker 2: could have picked anyone in his entire organization.
9:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy to me. This is I think I
9:29
Speaker 4: figured it out.
9:29
Speaker 5: This would be his seventh start total, and that is
9:32
Speaker 5: insane him.
9:33
Speaker 2: So three in the postseason, three in the regular season,
9:35
Speaker 2: fourth and this would be okay, yeow, that's crazy.
9:38
Speaker 4: Yeah.
9:39
Speaker 2: Blake Snell will get the start for the Dodgers, who
9:41
Speaker 2: have just been mowing people down in the playoffs. Last year,
9:44
Speaker 2: the Dodgers had a great starting rotation, but everybody was
9:47
Speaker 2: hurt by the time they got to the playoffs. This year,
9:50
Speaker 2: everybody was hurt during the regular season, with the exception
9:53
Speaker 2: of Yamamoto, and now they're all healthy in time for
9:57
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So it's the best Rota money can buy.
10:01
Speaker 2: I mean, they didn't develop one of those guys. Blake
10:04
Speaker 2: Snell and Tyler Glasnow are both from the Rays. Yamamoto
10:08
Speaker 2: and Otani were brought over one from Japan and then
10:12
Speaker 2: Otani free agent from the Angels. So to have those
10:17
Speaker 2: four guys and the way they're pitching right now. I'm
10:20
Speaker 2: not saying this because I don't want Toronto to win,
10:24
Speaker 2: even though I don't want Toronto to win, but I
10:27
Speaker 2: think that it doesn't get out of LA. I think
10:29
Speaker 2: the Dodgers win in four or five, and before any
10:33
Speaker 2: Toronto fan thinks I'm being biased. I would have said
10:36
Speaker 2: the same thing about US. Yeah, I think that they're
10:39
Speaker 2: just playing that well. They're just pitching that well. And
10:42
Speaker 2: they are and they're healthy.
10:45
Speaker 4: They seem unstoppable.
10:46
Speaker 2: They're the best team money could buy. Yeah, and they're
10:49
Speaker 2: not banged up like they normally are this time of
10:53
Speaker 2: the year. So first pitch, five o'clock from Toronto. The
10:56
Speaker 2: World Series gets started tonight. If that interests you US,
10:59
Speaker 2: I don't care. Number three. The Huskies will be in
11:01
Speaker 2: action tomorrow against the fighting a line eye of Illinois.
11:05
Speaker 2: And I know, I know. Look, look, I'm ten years
11:07
Speaker 2: of Washingtonian, ten years of seattlete and I know how
11:12
Speaker 2: intimidating it can be to face the program I grew
11:16
Speaker 2: up with. I mean, one hundred years of mediocrity can
11:22
Speaker 2: really be an intimidating thing to go up against, no
11:25
Speaker 2: matter what year you faced them.
11:26
Speaker 4: Terrifying.
11:27
Speaker 2: So when you gotta face Illinois, my sympathies are with
11:31
Speaker 2: my new Husky fans.
11:33
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, thank you.
11:35
Speaker 2: Sorry, Ashley, No, that's sorry. You got to go up
11:38
Speaker 2: against the ghost of Dick BUCKUS Saturday. I don't know.
11:42
Speaker 4: Now, I'm just picturing the ghost of Dick Buckers. He's
11:44
Speaker 4: a lot for some reason. Yeah, I think he is.
11:48
Speaker 4: But for some reason, the ghost of him is making
11:50
Speaker 4: me laugh.
11:51
Speaker 2: Is the ghost of Dick Bucause the guy from My
11:53
Speaker 2: Two Dads or the football player?
11:55
Speaker 6: Definitely the guy from My Two Dads? Twelve thirty kickoff
11:59
Speaker 6: from Montlake. Illinois actually is good this year.
12:03
Speaker 2: They are five and two, same record as the Huskies,
12:06
Speaker 2: two and two in conference, same record as the Huskies. Illinois, though,
12:09
Speaker 2: enters this game ranked twenty third in America. Cam Cleland
12:13
Speaker 2: was on with US Wednesday and gave us a little
12:16
Speaker 2: profile of the Illinois.
12:17
Speaker 8: Well, it's Brett v Laman. If you ever watch any
12:20
Speaker 8: of his style of football, you'll see that they're two
12:23
Speaker 8: losses and a ranked team.
12:24
Speaker 1: So that matters.
12:25
Speaker 8: Because he knows how to coach the aline I are.
12:27
Speaker 8: They can be beat, no question. It's really going to
12:30
Speaker 8: come down to what's our health going to look like.
12:32
Speaker 8: I'm going to say this the rest of the season,
12:35
Speaker 8: we will live and die. In my opinion, with how
12:38
Speaker 8: Demond carries himself in this game, He's put himself on
12:41
Speaker 8: a shoulder as he carries the team's energy and the
12:44
Speaker 8: speed and the tempo. He has that kind of athleticism,
12:48
Speaker 8: So I like to see him be able to take
12:49
Speaker 8: advantage of the defense because they are they are a
12:52
Speaker 8: good defense, but they're not a great defense. And then
12:55
Speaker 8: from our defensive perspective versus their offense, it just is
12:58
Speaker 8: it is there going to be the ability to stop edge,
13:01
Speaker 8: contain tight ends in the flat and I know coach
13:04
Speaker 8: Walters addressed that. So there's just so many factors going
13:08
Speaker 8: to this football game. But you got to defend home
13:09
Speaker 8: turf boys. We have to at this point. You're going
13:12
Speaker 8: to make a run late in the season to get
13:14
Speaker 8: ready to be in position at the end of the
13:16
Speaker 8: year against Oregon. You need the home games like there's
13:19
Speaker 8: no tomorrow.
13:20
Speaker 2: Dogs are favored by four and a half points. I'll
13:22
Speaker 2: say this about Illinois, and this is with all seriousness.
13:24
Speaker 2: I'll take the tongue out of my cheek. I think
13:26
Speaker 2: you are going to get a good effort from them,
13:29
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And I think that you are facing a
13:31
Speaker 2: quality football opponent. I don't know what we get out
13:35
Speaker 2: of the Dogs from week to week. I don't know
13:36
Speaker 2: what we get out of Demon Williams from week to week.
13:38
Speaker 2: I don't know why with offensive mind like Jedfish, who
13:43
Speaker 2: is as accomplished as he is, that this team can't
13:46
Speaker 2: play good offense until the second half for four straight
13:49
Speaker 2: weeks in a row, and so you better play a
13:55
Speaker 2: good version of U Dub football or you're going to
13:58
Speaker 2: lose this game. You certainly aren't going to cover four
14:01
Speaker 2: and a half points. So I know what you're gonna
14:04
Speaker 2: get from ILLINOI. You're gonna get good quarterback play from Altmeyer,
14:07
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get a defense that's gonna pop you
14:09
Speaker 2: in them out. That's what you're gonna get from Illinois.
14:12
Speaker 2: What are we gonna get from you Dub? That to
14:14
Speaker 2: me is the mystery going into this game. And I
14:17
Speaker 2: wish that I didn't have to say that, because nobody
14:20
Speaker 2: wants to be a coach of a inconsistent football team, right.
14:27
Speaker 2: That reflects on the coaching staff when you don't know
14:29
Speaker 2: what you're getting from your players from week to week.
14:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, and inconsistent is definitely the way to describe them,
14:34
Speaker 5: and that they're in no position to look past anyone
14:37
Speaker 5: Illinois perdue whoever it.
14:38
Speaker 4: Is, like you, you're right about that.
14:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, you need to be coming and bringing your a
14:42
Speaker 5: game every single week because you looked terrible last week.
14:46
Speaker 2: It's not a great college football weekend. The SEC is
14:50
Speaker 2: probably gonna have to carry it to a degree. The
14:52
Speaker 2: only three games featuring ranked teams all from the SEC
14:56
Speaker 2: eight Ole Miss at thirteen, Oklahoma at nine am, Mazoo
14:59
Speaker 2: fifteen in the country at number ten, Vanderbilt at twelve thirty,
15:03
Speaker 2: and number three Texas A and M at number twenty,
15:05
Speaker 2: LSU at four thirty. Rick new Isiel was not with
15:08
Speaker 2: us Tuesday, but aha, he's going to join us today
15:11
Speaker 2: at nine o'clock to talk about the upcoming week in
15:14
Speaker 2: college football. Meanwhile, the Seahawks or on buy Otherwise they
15:18
Speaker 2: would have been a hot lot higher on the O
15:19
Speaker 2: show list. Greg Bell was on with us this morning
15:24
Speaker 2: to talk about Jackson Smith and Jigba. In this ongoing
15:27
Speaker 2: conversation about all right, how do we balance not taking
15:33
Speaker 2: catches away from JSN because he's thriving and also getting
15:38
Speaker 2: other people involved. It seems like a really difficult task
15:42
Speaker 2: for Clint Kubiak.
15:43
Speaker 7: Ultimately, what it comes down to is Kubiak can design
15:46
Speaker 7: whatever and call whatever plays he wants, and he could
15:48
Speaker 7: say the Cup is the primary on this one, or
15:50
Speaker 7: Horton is where Barner is, but it's up to the
15:53
Speaker 7: guy who throws the ball. And if he's reading or
15:57
Speaker 7: trusting that jig was my guy on this play, that
16:01
Speaker 7: I have a better chance of converting this fourth and
16:03
Speaker 7: one by throwing an eighteen yard out to Smith and
16:05
Speaker 7: Jigba than a two yard out to Barner, then he's
16:08
Speaker 7: going to.
16:09
Speaker 2: Throw it there right and will into.
16:12
Speaker 7: Exactly And the more times the results are positive, which
16:15
Speaker 7: so far they've been NFL best positive that reinforces Darnold's
16:19
Speaker 7: decision in the snap when he's being chased by three
16:22
Speaker 7: hundred pound guys. He's getting paid to make the right
16:25
Speaker 7: decision at the right time to throw the ball to
16:28
Speaker 7: the right place. It doesn't matter what the play call is.
16:31
Speaker 7: If he thinks that the Smith and jig was his
16:34
Speaker 7: best option, he's going there.
16:36
Speaker 2: Seahawks five and two tied to top the NFC West.
16:40
Speaker 2: They will next play on a Sunday night against the
16:43
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. Will have no idea whether or not Jayden
16:46
Speaker 2: Daniels will play in that game for a while, he's
16:49
Speaker 2: certainly not playing this weekend. This week in the National
16:53
Speaker 2: Football League will be played without the Seahawks, of course,
16:56
Speaker 2: but last night the Chargers and the Vikings got it started.
17:00
Speaker 9: Second of ten at the twenty seven yard line. Chargers
17:02
Speaker 9: up fourteen three, looking for more. Herbert sets and throws,
17:05
Speaker 9: floating it down the right sideline. Mconkey is open. He
17:08
Speaker 9: drops it down the sideline into the end zone.
17:11
Speaker 10: A Lad mcconkee touchdown makes it twenty to three.
17:16
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Chargers rule to a thirty seven to ten
17:20
Speaker 2: win over the Minnesota Vikings thanks to a prime video
17:23
Speaker 2: for the audio Justin. Herbert threw three touchdown passes and
17:27
Speaker 2: Cam Dicker kicked three field goals, and of course I
17:29
Speaker 2: was going against both of them in Fantasy Orsi ware. Yeah,
17:32
Speaker 2: it's been one of those years. Chargers improved a five
17:35
Speaker 2: and three, the Vikings fall to three and four. Kind
17:37
Speaker 2: of a crappy week in the National Football League. No
17:40
Speaker 2: wonder the Seahawks are on by. They don't want to
17:41
Speaker 2: be associated with it.
17:42
Speaker 4: I get it.
17:43
Speaker 2: Not great games. The best early game or at least
17:46
Speaker 2: most intriguing. Chicago at Baltimore, a one in five team
17:50
Speaker 2: is your most intriguing early game. Dallas at Denver in
17:54
Speaker 2: the afternoon, and then the Sunday night game is the
17:56
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers Bowl. The Green Bay Packers will be at Pitzburg.
18:00
Speaker 2: The Kracking finished a long road trip in impressive fashion.
18:05
Speaker 2: Usually that last game of a road trip's a tough
18:07
Speaker 2: one to win, but the Kracking put it together.
18:10
Speaker 10: Schwartz backup top, Hell did my Larsen right side back
18:13
Speaker 10: to Shane right before shot tiptok goal rebound scares jaded
18:18
Speaker 10: Schwartz crashing the goal and the Seattle Cracking burry the
18:22
Speaker 10: loose change. It's a one nothing Cracking lead, seventeen thirty
18:26
Speaker 10: two left in the second period.
18:28
Speaker 2: Paul the delightful ever fits you on the call of
18:31
Speaker 2: Kracking Hockey right here at Sports Radio ninety three point
18:34
Speaker 2: three KJRFM. Jaden Schwartz scored two goals, including one of
18:38
Speaker 2: two empty netters late. This was really a one nothing
18:41
Speaker 2: hockey game. With Joey Decord saving everybody's biscuits. Thirty two
18:46
Speaker 2: saves thirty two opportunities and the Kracking go on to
18:49
Speaker 2: a three to nothing win. That's a big that's a
18:51
Speaker 2: nice win for coach Lambert.
18:52
Speaker 6: That is a great win. Yeah, no biscuits in the basket. Yeah,
18:56
Speaker 6: Cracking are four to two and two on the early season.
18:58
Speaker 6: They return home after a length the six game road trip.
19:01
Speaker 6: They host Edmonton tomorrow night at Climate Pledge Arena. They'll
19:04
Speaker 6: drop the puck at seven o'clock. And the NBA is
19:07
Speaker 6: brand new into its season. The thunder have already played
19:10
Speaker 6: two double overtime games.
19:12
Speaker 2: In three days. But the all the NBA world, all
19:17
Speaker 2: the sports world yesterday was talking about nothing but the
19:20
Speaker 2: scandal involving the FBI, Chauncey Billups, Terry Rosier, Damon Jones
19:25
Speaker 2: and all sorts of illegal nonsense. Boy, we got a
19:30
Speaker 2: scandal on our hand. Interesting thing because Greg Bill and
19:33
Speaker 2: I talked about this earlier today, like the NFL should
19:36
Speaker 2: use this as an opportunity to make.
19:39
Speaker 4: Sure what clean things up.
19:41
Speaker 2: The clean things up, and I think to address their
19:44
Speaker 2: relationship with the daily prop bets. And after we had
19:48
Speaker 2: that conversation Pro Football Talk, Greg sent me a little text, yeah, saying,
19:54
Speaker 2: given the Terry Rogier situation, the obvious question is whether
19:57
Speaker 2: the NFL eventually will have an unders scanned regarding player
20:01
Speaker 2: prop bets. The less obvious question is whether it has
20:03
Speaker 2: already happened, and so this is Pro Football Talk also
20:07
Speaker 2: saying the NFL needs to like address this right now
20:11
Speaker 2: and make sure that they don't have their own scandal
20:14
Speaker 2: going forward and cast doubt over their own product. Is
20:18
Speaker 2: there anything wrong with getting together with daily prop bets
20:21
Speaker 2: and just saying on the individual players you can only
20:24
Speaker 2: bet overs? No, but if you only bet could only
20:27
Speaker 2: bet overs on individual player prop bets daily prop bets,
20:31
Speaker 2: that way, the only way that you can win the
20:33
Speaker 2: bet is if the player is over atch you.
20:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, if he's actually going out and doing what he's
20:37
Speaker 5: supposed to do or above what he's supposed.
20:39
Speaker 2: To do, why not sing? Is that like stupid?
20:41
Speaker 5: I don't think. I mean, I was thinking the same thing.
20:43
Speaker 5: It doesn't make sense to me why it couldn't happen.
20:45
Speaker 5: But I also am not a huge gambler, So maybe
20:47
Speaker 5: it has to have the boat both.
20:49
Speaker 4: Options and which case then get rid of the prop bets.
20:51
Speaker 2: Well, I would think that you bet the over or
20:53
Speaker 2: you lose the bet, so you do have one way
20:55
Speaker 2: or and go or they. But if we can't bet
20:58
Speaker 2: the unders, not on team but on individual players on
21:02
Speaker 2: their prop bets, yeah, Well, would that not solve worrying
21:08
Speaker 2: on a day to day basis about whether or not
21:10
Speaker 2: somebody is dropping balls on purpose or missing shots on purpose?
21:13
Speaker 5: I would think so it seems like an easy fix
21:15
Speaker 5: to me, but clearly it must not be or they would.
21:17
Speaker 4: Have come up with it.
21:19
Speaker 2: I haven't given it a lot of thought, admittedly, but
21:22
Speaker 2: maybe maybe all right. Coming up next, Jerry Depoto had
21:25
Speaker 2: lots to say yesterday at their season ending press conference.
21:29
Speaker 2: We'll hear from him next on Sports Radio ninety three
21:31
Speaker 2: point three KJRFM. Right bring new Isel will join us
21:45
Speaker 2: this morning at nine o'clock. Usually it's on Tuesdays, but
21:48
Speaker 2: we're not going to pass up the opportunity to chat
21:50
Speaker 2: with coach new Heisel, so he'll join us at nine.
21:53
Speaker 2: We also will preview the Big Ten week in later
21:56
Speaker 2: on this hour. But we've also been doing some Mariners,
22:00
Speaker 2: sort of a player by player snapshots, if you will.
22:03
Speaker 2: Heading into the offseason, plenty of time to talk about
22:06
Speaker 2: this stuff over the course of the long, hard winter,
22:09
Speaker 2: but I know a lot of people are thinking about
22:12
Speaker 2: these items, and so we spent a little bit of
22:14
Speaker 2: time here on this Friday discussing them. And in this segment,
22:18
Speaker 2: I wanted to go through Jerry Depoto in his press
22:21
Speaker 2: conference yesterday to discuss some of these things, and Josh
22:25
Speaker 2: Naylor is certainly a big topic on the minds of
22:27
Speaker 2: Mariner fans. He is a free agent. He does have
22:30
Speaker 2: the right to test the market if you'd like. And
22:33
Speaker 2: a lot of Marinder fans, of not all of them,
22:35
Speaker 2: don't want to see Josh Naylor get outside the door.
22:38
Speaker 2: You can count Ashley, Bucky and I among those people. Man,
22:42
Speaker 2: he just seemed like an ideal fit for this team.
22:44
Speaker 2: Here's Jerry on the prospects of keeping Josh.
22:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously it's priority, and you know, we will take
22:52
Speaker 3: a step back from where we are before we truly assess,
22:55
Speaker 3: and we'll communicate with the player before we say anything publicly.
22:58
Speaker 3: But you know, we're we're still, like I said, in
23:01
Speaker 3: grief mode and so were they. But loved every minute
23:04
Speaker 3: with those guys and with others who are pending free
23:07
Speaker 3: agents or potentially pending free agents. And you know, we've
23:11
Speaker 3: obviously been in planning mode and competitive mode and trying
23:15
Speaker 3: to put together plans and rosters to win games. And
23:19
Speaker 3: you know we've discussed twenty twenty six and beyond and
23:22
Speaker 3: we do that fairly regularly, So it's not going to
23:25
Speaker 3: sneak up on us. But it is appropriate to communicate
23:28
Speaker 3: with those guys before we get publicly name.
23:30
Speaker 2: I remember when we traded for Josh Naylor, and I
23:33
Speaker 2: love the move, was hoping that that move would get
23:35
Speaker 2: made the entire offseason last off season, and then certainly
23:39
Speaker 2: once we were approaching trading deadline, that was a popular
23:42
Speaker 2: name on this show to bring in Josh Naylor. So
23:45
Speaker 2: I loved it. But I do remember specifically the day
23:48
Speaker 2: of the Josh Naylor trade being asked by Hugh Millen,
23:50
Speaker 2: who was filling in for Dick Fane, about like, is
23:52
Speaker 2: this somebody that you would keep long term? My comments
23:55
Speaker 2: at the time were, I don't know if that's the
23:59
Speaker 2: motivation and even part of the motivation behind this trade.
24:04
Speaker 2: Josh Naylor, as everybody now knows, has a bit of
24:07
Speaker 2: a sloppy body. I think there are some people that
24:10
Speaker 2: aren't sure how well hill age that said after watching
24:15
Speaker 2: him on a daily basis, seeing everything that he brings
24:18
Speaker 2: to the table, and I do mean everything. Oh, you
24:22
Speaker 2: better believe it's a priority. Yes, you better, Bordy number one.
24:26
Speaker 2: And maybe Jerry and Justin already felt that way and
24:28
Speaker 2: already knew that and thought that a couple of months
24:31
Speaker 2: with Josh we can work on him, soften him to
24:34
Speaker 2: Seattle and wanting to stay here, or maybe like me,
24:37
Speaker 2: they're like, oh gosh, I did not realize this guy
24:40
Speaker 2: was this good. Yeah, I did not realize. He brought
24:43
Speaker 2: all this to the table. We got to keep him.
24:45
Speaker 2: So obviously there were no discussions about that. Feels to
24:49
Speaker 2: me like there haven't been any discussions at all about that.
24:52
Speaker 2: But they've made it very clear that he is a priority,
24:55
Speaker 2: if not the priority, roster wise, heading into this offseason,
24:59
Speaker 2: and so so I think there's a good chance they're
25:01
Speaker 2: gonna get it done. We've talked about how much money
25:04
Speaker 2: is coming off the books, so it's not like gonna
25:07
Speaker 2: this isn't one that you're gonna need. John Stanton, Please, John,
25:11
Speaker 2: you got to give us this money.
25:12
Speaker 1: Now.
25:12
Speaker 2: The money's already created. You get Hanniger's money off the books,
25:16
Speaker 2: you get Garver's money off the books, you get Dylan
25:19
Speaker 2: Moore's money off the books. Counted it up just thirty
25:21
Speaker 2: five and a half million dollars get freed from guys
25:24
Speaker 2: that you have no interest in bringing back next season.
25:27
Speaker 2: And so there's no way Josh Naylor's gonna command thirty
25:30
Speaker 2: five million dollars a year. I think he'll command between
25:33
Speaker 2: fifteen and twenty million dollars a year. I don't know
25:36
Speaker 2: if that's too steep for the Mariners. My guess is
25:40
Speaker 2: they understand his market and are willing to go there
25:43
Speaker 2: With Josh Naylor. I have a good feeling that he's
25:46
Speaker 2: going to be back next.
25:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
25:48
Speaker 5: I don't know how they could think anything else, Like
25:52
Speaker 5: it's got to be whatever it takes to get this guy,
25:54
Speaker 5: and I don't.
25:55
Speaker 4: He doesn't strike me as the type of person.
25:56
Speaker 5: That's gonna be like, well, you know what, I think
25:58
Speaker 5: I want twenty eight million dollars a year. Ye like,
26:00
Speaker 5: just to try to blow, you know, blow him out
26:03
Speaker 5: of the water. He doesn't strike me as that kind
26:05
Speaker 5: of guy.
26:05
Speaker 2: He doesn't strike me as the eye have to open
26:08
Speaker 2: myself up to bidding and take the highest bid. He
26:11
Speaker 2: strikes me as the guy like I want you to
26:12
Speaker 2: be fair with me, and yet if you can just
26:16
Speaker 2: be fair with me, I like it here. I like
26:19
Speaker 2: this team, and I'd like to be a part of it.
26:21
Speaker 2: That's how he strikes me. I'm hoping that is the case.
26:23
Speaker 2: I think we're going to get that one done. So
26:25
Speaker 2: how much will we, if any, add to the payroll.
26:28
Speaker 2: Here's Jerry, I.
26:30
Speaker 3: Would I would say similar to where we ended the year,
26:32
Speaker 3: you know, as a starting pointer. So you know, we
26:35
Speaker 3: ended the season I think with the second highest our
26:38
Speaker 3: highest payroll that we've ever had as a franchise. And
26:41
Speaker 3: this was always the goal was to methodically build toward
26:44
Speaker 3: what we were doing. And you know, I'm comfortable that
26:47
Speaker 3: the resources that we're given where we're going to have
26:49
Speaker 3: every ability to go out and put together a championship
26:52
Speaker 3: quality team, and like we have in recent years, when
26:56
Speaker 3: we get into the right position, I'm certain that we
26:59
Speaker 3: will be aggressive.
27:00
Speaker 2: I'm doing the next thing that might sound discouraging to
27:02
Speaker 2: all of those Mariner fans that are just hell bent
27:05
Speaker 2: on us having the highest payroll in the world. I
27:09
Speaker 2: don't quite understand that argument, but certainly we have said
27:14
Speaker 2: repeatedly we'd like to see them have a higher payroll.
27:17
Speaker 2: That's actually an encouraging sign. He's saying, we'll start at
27:20
Speaker 2: where we ended. Remember, they added a lot of money
27:23
Speaker 2: to the payroll at the trading deadline, enough that it
27:26
Speaker 2: made John Stanton admittedly uncomfortable about trying to get all
27:30
Speaker 2: the owners to sign off on that. And so that's
27:33
Speaker 2: what he's saying, going into the offseason, we will start
27:35
Speaker 2: at a similar similar payroll to where we ended, and
27:38
Speaker 2: then they have shown three out of the last four
27:41
Speaker 2: years if we're in it, we get to the trading
27:44
Speaker 2: deadline and we will push it further. I think everybody
27:48
Speaker 2: listening needs to brace themselves for that, which means there's
27:53
Speaker 2: probably not going to be a lot of adding of
27:56
Speaker 2: free agents. Yes, there's thirty five and a half million
27:59
Speaker 2: dollars weated right off the bat, right, and then if
28:02
Speaker 2: you added Gino because you're out from under his salary
28:07
Speaker 2: as well, then that adds even more. Remember we're gonna
28:10
Speaker 2: start where we finished, right, Okay, so that puts you
28:13
Speaker 2: like forty seven and a half million. But if you
28:15
Speaker 2: give Naylor twenty, and you give Polanco twelve, and you
28:19
Speaker 2: give pay raises because you have to because of arbitration
28:22
Speaker 2: to Kirby Miller, Brash spire a Rose Arena. Yeah, and
28:30
Speaker 2: there are a couple of others that I'm not thinking
28:33
Speaker 2: about right now. Now, all of a sudden, you're getting
28:35
Speaker 2: pretty close up to that limit. And I also don't
28:38
Speaker 2: think we're carrying the holes into the off season that
28:41
Speaker 2: we have carried in the past. I've seen some of
28:44
Speaker 2: your wish lists out there. I don't know why you
28:47
Speaker 2: do this to yourselves. Why do you have Kyle Tucker
28:50
Speaker 2: on your wish list? Why do you have Alex Bregman
28:52
Speaker 2: on your wish We are not going to do that.
28:55
Speaker 2: They're not going to do that. And if that makes
28:58
Speaker 2: you so angry that you can't follow this team anymore,
29:01
Speaker 2: then you know, go start following the Dodgers. They'll just
29:05
Speaker 2: defer payments until the year three thousand and eight. You
29:08
Speaker 2: can get everything.
29:09
Speaker 4: Wrong, they're allowed to do it.
29:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, but we're just not gonna go there. As
29:14
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I don't think we're gonna do
29:15
Speaker 2: much free agency at all. I saw we got to
29:19
Speaker 2: have Bregman and Brandon Lao. Why do you want Brandon Lao?
29:23
Speaker 8: Yeah?
29:23
Speaker 2: When we can keep Polonko, who was better last year.
29:27
Speaker 4: For cheaper Yeah. I like Plonko.
29:29
Speaker 2: I like Polonko, and you'll probably give us a little
29:31
Speaker 2: bit of a discount to stay where he is not
29:33
Speaker 2: a great one, but we'll probably get a little bit
29:35
Speaker 2: of a discount there. I think the only thing you'd
29:37
Speaker 2: have to do with Polonko is make sure you give
29:39
Speaker 2: him multiple years. So two years, twenty five million probably
29:42
Speaker 2: gets that done, and that gets under that threshold that
29:45
Speaker 2: we're talking about, That gets under the Jerry threshold that
29:48
Speaker 2: he was he was discussing. Maybe there's room for another
29:52
Speaker 2: free agent, But where who do you want it to be?
29:54
Speaker 2: And please don't give me Tucker and Bregman. You know
29:57
Speaker 2: they're not spending forty million dollars per year on a
29:59
Speaker 2: p They're just not going to do it. So who's
30:03
Speaker 2: the guy that fits what you're looking for? And then
30:06
Speaker 2: because I want to write them down, because then I
30:08
Speaker 2: want a year later to show you, oh, wait a minute,
30:11
Speaker 2: that guy that you were so desperate to have and
30:13
Speaker 2: that you thought that they absolutely had to pay for
30:16
Speaker 2: he played thirteen games this year because he's had a
30:19
Speaker 2: chronic knee injury for five years and everybody knew it,
30:21
Speaker 2: and that's why his market values slipped. Hey, I'll start
30:25
Speaker 2: writing him down this offseason. I just don't think we're
30:28
Speaker 2: going to add dramatically to payroll. And frankly, as much
30:32
Speaker 2: as this sounds like sour words to everybody, I don't
30:35
Speaker 2: think we have to. If they can bring back Naylor,
30:39
Speaker 2: bring back Polonko, not retard the development of Cole Jung
30:43
Speaker 2: as our starting second baseman by bringing back Polonko and
30:47
Speaker 2: letting him dh and play some second base. Third base
30:50
Speaker 2: seems to be a little bit of a whole right now.
30:53
Speaker 2: Maybe we can afford to bring back Gino at third base,
30:56
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't want to, maybe they do want to
30:59
Speaker 2: see what Ben will you can do. I've already gone
31:01
Speaker 2: over the outfield this morning and how it seems kind
31:03
Speaker 2: of set going into this year. And frankly, I think
31:07
Speaker 2: shortstop is the biggest area of concern going forward. But
31:10
Speaker 2: do you really think they're just gonna punt on JP Crawford.
31:13
Speaker 2: They're not going to find a trade partner for him
31:15
Speaker 2: at twelve million dollars a year, I think that they
31:18
Speaker 2: are waiting for cold Emerson to take over that job
31:20
Speaker 2: from him. And so if you're anticipating us going all
31:25
Speaker 2: in on Kyle Schwarber at forty five million dollars a year,
31:28
Speaker 2: think again, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. If
31:32
Speaker 2: we can get Naylor back, get Polonko back, maybe or
31:36
Speaker 2: maybe not Gino, and then if we go into next season,
31:41
Speaker 2: that's a playoff team right there. And then if you
31:43
Speaker 2: get to the trading deadline, as long as they're willing
31:45
Speaker 2: to say, all right, let's fill our holes and not
31:48
Speaker 2: worry about finances. Let's fill our oles. Well, I worry
31:51
Speaker 2: about finances and put it over the top. We can
31:53
Speaker 2: get over the top. We can get over the top
31:54
Speaker 2: that way and without fantasizing about adding Tuck and we
32:00
Speaker 2: can just get Tucker, Bregman and law worse set Why
32:04
Speaker 2: do you even allow yourself to think?
32:07
Speaker 4: Then you're just setting yourself up to be angry.
32:09
Speaker 2: All right? Big Ten Preview and pickups next on KJR
32:18
Speaker 2: HLL Right, Rick new Isel at the top of the hour.
32:20
Speaker 2: That's right, we get our conversation with coach new eiel
32:23
Speaker 2: in before the end of the week. We are excited
32:25
Speaker 2: about it. But we always do a Big Ten preview
32:28
Speaker 2: and pickups at eight forty five on Friday when things
32:31
Speaker 2: like the American League Championship Series don't interfere. And so
32:34
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and preview what's going on in the
32:36
Speaker 2: Big Ten this weekend. UCLA is trying to prove that
32:41
Speaker 2: what you've been seeing the last four weeks is the
32:43
Speaker 2: real UCLA. They'll be at Indiana taking on the second
32:47
Speaker 2: ranked team in America, the Indiana Hoosiers. I guess the
32:50
Speaker 2: Hoosiers are giving UCLA like twenty six points. That seems
32:54
Speaker 2: like a lot. Yeah, how well UCLA has been playing
32:57
Speaker 2: under superstar coach Jerry new heisl here as of late,
33:00
Speaker 2: Northwestern will be at Nebraska. That's also a nine am
33:03
Speaker 2: kickoff tomorrow, and Rutgers will kick off with Purdue at
33:07
Speaker 2: nine am. In the state of Indiana. Of course, the
33:10
Speaker 2: Dogs hosting Illinois at twelve thirty tomorrow on Montlake Hanks
33:15
Speaker 2: will start at eight thirty. In that one, Minnesota and
33:18
Speaker 2: Iowa kickoff at the exact same time they played for
33:21
Speaker 2: some like Rusty Pig or some sort of golden some
33:25
Speaker 2: sort of rusty yeah, like the Rusty Pig or the
33:28
Speaker 2: you know, the Golden Gopher or something in that game.
33:31
Speaker 2: And so twelve thirty kickoff there from Iowa. Oregon's in
33:36
Speaker 2: action against a really bad Wisconsin team. We're not used
33:39
Speaker 2: to seeing Wisconsin be so bad, but they're bad. Wisconsin
33:43
Speaker 2: at Oregon that will start at four o'clock. And then
33:47
Speaker 2: the battle for the pride of the State of Michigan.
33:50
Speaker 2: Michigan State hosting the Michigan Wolverines, twenty fifth ranked in
33:54
Speaker 2: the country, and that game will kick off at four thirty.
33:57
Speaker 2: Not quite as good as schedule this week in the
34:00
Speaker 2: Ten as there is in the SEC, but not a
34:02
Speaker 2: bad one either. So there's your schedule for schedule of
34:06
Speaker 2: events in the Big Ten, and now we make our pickups.
34:10
Speaker 2: We do a Big Ten Fantasy league for a green jacket,
34:13
Speaker 2: and we do pickups every week. At this time, Kid
34:17
Speaker 2: has not made a pickup all season long.
34:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, same roster, he's just riding with it.
34:22
Speaker 2: Uh huh. But this week he didn't really have a choice.
34:26
Speaker 2: Nick Singleton of Penn State's been playing poorly. Penn State's
34:31
Speaker 2: been playing poorly, and he has two guys out on
34:33
Speaker 2: by this week, so he is going to make a pickup.
34:36
Speaker 2: Let me update. Ashley leads the way with five hundred
34:38
Speaker 2: and seventy six. But man, it's gotten frigging tight.
34:41
Speaker 4: Yeah it has.
34:42
Speaker 2: She's only sixteen points up on both Bucky and Kid.
34:45
Speaker 2: That's right. Bucky's got fIF five hundred and sixty point
34:48
Speaker 2: seven points. Kid has five hundred and sixty point three.
34:52
Speaker 2: And even though I'm still decidedly behind all three of you,
34:56
Speaker 2: I have won three consecutive weeks, I've had the highest
34:59
Speaker 2: score and have chop down the lead considerably even though
35:03
Speaker 2: I still have a ways to go. So it's getting
35:05
Speaker 2: tight in our contest here. So it's Kid, myself, Bucky
35:10
Speaker 2: and Ashley that is the draft order. And keep in
35:12
Speaker 2: mind we have Penn State on by, USC on by,
35:15
Speaker 2: Maryland on by, and Ohio State all on by. That's
35:19
Speaker 2: a lot of players on by this week. It is
35:22
Speaker 2: so Kid picks first. He is dropping Nick Singleton, the
35:25
Speaker 2: running back for Penn State, and he is taking our
35:27
Speaker 2: first Northwestern player I think ever drafted. Wow. Yeah, Caleb
35:32
Speaker 2: Halamafe the running back, the starting running back for Northwestern,
35:36
Speaker 2: the sophomore. I think he's like seventh in the Big
35:38
Speaker 2: Ten in rushing so far this year. So Kid making
35:41
Speaker 2: the decision, finally making an ad drop this week in
35:45
Speaker 2: our Big Ten pickups. So I am going to take
35:48
Speaker 2: the roll of the dice because I don't want to
35:50
Speaker 2: lose Carnell Tape. But I think the way that the
35:52
Speaker 2: pickups work that I don't have to. I can pick
35:55
Speaker 2: them back up again next week. We shall see, but
35:58
Speaker 2: I can't really afford any z Rose, So I'm gonna
36:01
Speaker 2: go ahead and drop Carnell Tate and I'm going to
36:04
Speaker 2: pick up Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Junior. That's a
36:08
Speaker 2: good pick up, all right, Bucky, I don't know he
36:10
Speaker 2: has not wade in. I think he was trying to
36:13
Speaker 2: keep it secret if yes Wednesday, and now he's forgotten
36:17
Speaker 2: to tell us who he's going to take. So Ashley,
36:19
Speaker 2: I'd say go ahead and pick away.
36:21
Speaker 4: Okay.
36:21
Speaker 5: I don't really love any choices that I've got to
36:24
Speaker 5: make here, but I'm going to go to Nebraska. Naziah Hunter,
36:32
Speaker 5: I'm gonna drop.
36:32
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm gonna drop.
36:35
Speaker 2: Jordan.
36:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jordan, thank you. I couldn't remember his name. Waymon
36:38
Speaker 4: George Raymond.
36:39
Speaker 2: The running back for US Seed. Not only are they
36:42
Speaker 2: on bye, he's injured. Yeah, and he might be benched
36:45
Speaker 2: the way that that King Miller's been running the football
36:47
Speaker 2: for them. All right. So Naziah Hunter, who's actually been
36:52
Speaker 2: pretty dangerous for Nebraska here as of late, is going
36:55
Speaker 2: to be the pick up and drop Jordan. I don't
36:57
Speaker 2: think that's who Bucky would have picked up anyway. He's
37:00
Speaker 2: got his eye on an Oregon duck. So I think
37:03
Speaker 2: we're good, all right. So there you go. Enjoy the
37:05
Speaker 2: Big ten weekend and again honks at eight thirty. Kickoff
37:08
