• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Hoped everybody survived the uptick in temperatures. Did you enjoy
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the heat.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: I enjoyed being at sea. Yeah, we set out.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: We were outside almost all day yesterday, but in the shade. Oh,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: we had our awning clothes.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: We watched the.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Mariners game out there. We watched the Stanley Cup final
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: out there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: There.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: You go ate dinner out there.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Very nice, boy. You really did take advantage of it,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: all of it. Uh huh, good. Good.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: It's really lunch out there.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You stay out of the sun, You're great. Yeah, you know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the sun is what causes.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: You know, the sun was real hot. If you were
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: in the sun for a little bit, it was very toaty.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I went out Saturday late morning to the park
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: for a couple of hours, and then I went out
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: again yesterday around five in the evening for a couple
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of hours. I got a little exercise and got a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: little sun and got a little bit of the heat.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I guess I missed the hottest part of the day,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: but nonetheless it was fine. It's fine, And I realized
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we got to put out the heat advisory because a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: lot of people just the conditions that they have.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, people don't have a c don't have AC.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And they might even be worse than that might be
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: just the you know, might just live a little tiny box,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot of air that comes through there.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So I get the heat advisory that has to be
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: given out there, but you know, we don't hit temperatures
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: like this this early very often. And it was manageable.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I think that's the best way to put it. It
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: was manageable the last couple of days. But I guess
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: today's supposed to be the hottest day.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, that is what I think today. Yeah, my weather
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: app shows a high eighty six. But last year when
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: we were last week, when we were listening to the weather,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: they were saying with this World Cup game at lumen
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Field sorry Seattle Stadium, that it was going to be
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: like ninety two degrees.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: So we'll have to see what happened.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah again, I mean yeah, I get the reason for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the heat advisory. It's needed in some cases. But professional athletes,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: professional soccer players, compared to what we have versus some
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of these other venues who have temperatures over one hundred degrees, Yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be nothing to the athletes here today.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I guess it was warmer in DC.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: I guess it was probably a lot more humid, a.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Lot more humid, a little more difficult to get through
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: over the weekend in Washington, d C. Where the Mariners
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: were stinking up the joint. So good morning to you,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and we welcome you as we get ready, and then
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it goes back to cooling off again tomorrow or is
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that not till tuesday? Yeah, there you go, ye, So
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: one bit more day of hot, hot, heat, and then
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: we cool back down, which I was like, the cool
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: down all right, So welcome into the radio show. It
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: is great to have you with us. And whenever there
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is a champion crowned, we always start the next day
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: by discussing that champion. Well, we've got two of them
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to discuss. The NBA Championship wrapped up since last we spoke.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: The Stanley Cup champion was crowned last night, and so
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: we have two different champions to discuss, and we'll start
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: with the freshest one, the Carolina Hurricanes, who took out
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Golden Knights and what many were describing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: as one of the most evenly fought series that they've
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: ever watched at the NHL level. And that's maybe you're
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a prisoner of the moment. I'm not one to weigh
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: in on that history. I couldn't tell you, but obviously
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a very good series doesn't matter that it didn't go
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the seventh game. And because there's nothing like a Game seven.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I've heard I've heard about the Stanley Cup playoffs. You know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'll do anything to see a Game seven of the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup playoffs. And so it wraps up in six.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: But it certainly was tightly contested. But Carolina goes on
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the road in Las Vegas, they take the championship. They
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: score a shoutout last night. Three to nothing is the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: final score, and so it's the Hurricanes who are Stanley
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Cup champions.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, thank you Hurricanes, because they did not want Vegas
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: to win another one.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Not this soon. No three trips to the Stanley Cup
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Finals in nine years for Las Vegas, one championship out
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of that. Meanwhile, Carolina has now won a couple of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: them here in their franchise history as of late. And
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that's just a really good hockey team. They lost only
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: three games during their Stanley Cup run, two of them
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: happening in the Stanley Cup finals. There's really not a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: superstar player in the group, and yet they still win
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a championship with ease, and I think it's just all
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: about the team and the depth they have assembled there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And it was certainly on display throughout the Stanley Cup playoffs.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, I mean they they were.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I probably stuck around for like three of the interviews afterwards,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and then I'm like, Okay, I've seen the passing of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the cup, and I've.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Seen the which is the most fun, the con.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Smythe and I saw those lineup and the handshake and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all of that stuff. So I've seen all the pomp
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and circumstance. But I didn't stay for hours upon hours
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of Stanley Cup post coverage. But I did see three
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: interviews that were conducted the first and and all of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: them were just perfect, Like the subjects were just perfect
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: in their comments, like stuff you couldn't even teach. I mean,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it had to have been nurtured from the beginning of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: their journey to becoming hockey players. That had to start
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: at home for these three people, and then the journey
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: had to mold them and skull help them, and the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: people around them had to remind them You're not that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: big a deal. It's still about being a great person
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and a great teammate. And I think hockey lends itself
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to it as well. That's a community that is just
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a lot different. It is all about the team and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it is very little about the individual. And I think
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the greatest example of that was when Jordan Stall gets
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the con smythe trophy for MVP of the playoffs, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh, this is nice, and he skates it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: over and puts it in on the bench and trust
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that someone's going to take his big, gaudy, awkward looking
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: trophy and put it in a safe place, because I'm
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: sure he does. I'm sure he is very proud of that.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: But then as captain of the team, he goes back
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to then receive the Stanley Cup and then he's just
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a maniac or as they might say in Carolina, a caneyac,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: like they joy the enthusiasm, the smile that you couldn't
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: wipe off of his face to be able to hold
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the team before anybody else could hold it. I mean
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it speaks to what how these hockey players the fabric
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that makes hockey players. And then, as I said, there
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: were three interviews in success session that were conducted Jordan
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Stall and then Brandon Bussey, the goaltender who took over
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: midway through the Stanley Cup finals and barely gave up
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a goal. He was fantastic. And then the head coach,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Rod Brenda Moore, who has won one now as a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: player and now as a coach. And I'm telling you,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you stuck around for it, Ashley,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: but the interviews that they conducted, like if you couldn't
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: even teach it in a class because it would just
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: come off just way too stodgy or way too contrived.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: But their every answer was just so perfect for the moment,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for not making it about me, for about the journey,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: For the respect that they have for the opponent, the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: respect that they have for their team mates. I mean,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Brandon Bussy talking about Freddie Anderson, who he replaced during
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: this journey. I mean, that's one of the most likable
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: dudes I think I've ever seen in my you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: fifty two years of being a sports fan as Brandon Bussy,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and how he's handled all of this with just this like,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: oh shucks, guys, I'm just a hockey player. It's no
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: big deal. On his family too, kind of attitude that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he's had throughout the entire process. I mean, every single
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: one of those interviews that they conducted was just like, Man,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I love all three of those dudes. You want to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: talk about just answering everything perfectly, being in the moment,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and it didn't feel like it was, Like I said,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it didn't feel like it was contrived. I'm not just
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: giving you the yearbook answer here. It was like genuinely
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: heartfelt and yet coming out of that genuine good place
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: where these comments from these three individuals that just captured
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the entire moment didn't really make it themselves, and yet
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: certainly they enjoyed the moment for themselves. It was perfect.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just exactly what you want to hear
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: from a star athlete after winning a championship.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And I think that's the key though with hockey players
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: and even the crack and players we've had on, I mean,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: they are so focused on the team, on the work,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: on the effort, and not on themselves. There it's very
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: hard to get them to come on and talk about
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: themselves and how good they are, how skilled they are,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: because it's not about them. It is about everybody around
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: them and them fitting in and being a part of
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: something bigger, And I think that's one of the things
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: that makes hockey so special because you don't have these
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: you know, it's fun to have the personalities and the
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: boisterous that you know people out there that are that
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: are famous athletes that we love to watch. But there's
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: something refreshing about watching a team win a title and
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: still be able to have that humility and be humble
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: and and I don't know, it feels if you you
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: almost like when you're seeing Seth Jarvis crying, like I
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: almost want to cry, one because he helped me win
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: a green jacket, but.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Two because it's just cool. It's just a neat moment.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: It was a neat moment. And I will give the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: exact same credit to a sport that isn't as much
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: recognized for that selfless sort of conduct. And that's from
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the NBA, which a lot of times the individual stars
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: are just so promoted and put on such a higher
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: platform that you understand that Michael Jordan at times came
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: across as being, you know, arrogant at times, that lebron
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: comes across as being arrogant at times. I mean, it's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: kind of hard when the entire world throws flowers at
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: your feet from the time you were sixteen years old,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and and and so there's a lot there's not as
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: much you don't hear that genuine, heart felt, it wasn't
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: about me kind of speech necessarily associated with the NBA,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and yet we got it Saturday night as well. Jalen
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Brunson's post interview was perfect, like the emotion that he showed.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's just been a cold stoneface killer this
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: entire postseason, and he's really been that way his entire career.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: It hasn't always worked out for he and the Knicks,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: but it did this year. And I'm not sure. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't sure if there was another side to Jalen Brunson.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, all we've been exposed to is this guy
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that carries this chip on his shoulder because he was
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: overlooked in the draft process and described in the media
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: as not being good enough to be able to carry
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: team to a championship, too small, not quick enough, doesn't
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: play defense, all of that stuff, and he's just remained
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: this edge to him as a player and also a personality.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And then to get to the championship, win the championship,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and to see some of the emotion, see some of
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the cracks and that stone faced facade of his and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: he was fantastic as well, like a perfect interview where
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: he got emotional about his father, and he got emotional
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: about his teammates, and he got emotional about his journey
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: without breaking down. He didn't break down in tears and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: make a fuss, but he certainly got emotional and yet
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: still carried that confidence, that in that swagger that he's shown,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that inner swagger that he's shown. And I thought he
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: was perfect. I mean, what a champion Jalen Brunson is.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And I tweeted out on Saturday night, I took a
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: shot at the San Antonio Spurs. I mean, they've set
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: an NBA postseason record. No team ever again will choke
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: away all four games that they lost. I mean that
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: can't be broken. It can be tied, but you will
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: never have your record broken. San Antonio Spurs, nice work,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you choked away four wins in the NBA Finals. But
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that aside, and I do think there's truth to that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that Jalen Brunson and og Ananobi and the way that
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that team plays for the New York maybe you never
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: rooted for them, but they were a three seed. Nobody
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: thought that this was a team that could run away
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and win the NBA Championship. Everybody all season long said
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it's the West to win, and then you don't even
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: get the top two seeds out of the East into
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the finals, and they took care of business. And so
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: when you do step back from it, even though I
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: think here in Seattle we spent a lot of time
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: rooting for the Spurs because they took out the Thunder
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and their head coaches from here and Wimby is fun
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to watch and all of that stuff, true of the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: matter is what a deserving champion. They handled themselves with
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: poison class and played like a team throughout the entire process.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: So I ended up Saturday night, even though I was
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: rooting for San Antonio and I took my little, snotty
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: pot shots at them on social media, I was really
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: happy for Jalen Brunson and Og. I mean, OG couldn't
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: be a more modest star and he's now on the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: verge of superstardom. And I think they handled it with
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: class and a very deserving champion. So I was very
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: satisfied with what we saw on Saturday and Sunday. From
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: our NBA champion and our NHL champion.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I do think that a lot more people
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: would probably root for the next if it weren't for
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: the Knicks fans that might be part of the issue,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: because oh, that's the issue.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with there's nothing wrong with the team.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: At all, exactly. They're super fun to watch.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And I mean, I I told you before, I don't
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: didn't know if I cared who won after Oklahoma City
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: was out and then it was well, yeah, I'll cheer
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: for the Spurs because it's Mitch Johnson and because they
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: took the Thunder out.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: But I just wanted it to be a good series.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: And as much as it wasn't a good series in
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: terms of how many games they went, each game itself
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: was a roller coaster and fun. And yeah, I mean
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: I think we got two good finals.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a roller coaster. It
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: was more of a like a shoot him up into
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: space and then watch it fall. Yeah.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: They it's like that ride that you go up, Yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: and then it hangs out there for a minute and
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: then everything drops.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I think that's what it was more like.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And I heard a conversation this morning about whether or
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: not it was the Knicks who took it or the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Spurs who gave it away. And look, this has not
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: taken anything away from the Knicks, because the Knicks earned
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the championship. They played better than anyone else from the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: beginning of the playoffs to the end of the playoffs,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm glad for them. I'm happy for Jalen Brunson
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and Anonobi and Mike Brown and Knicks fans. Maybe not
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Knicks fans, but I'm happy for them. I think they
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: earned it, and I think they are very deserving champions.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: But make no mistake about it, the Spurs gave this away.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: They had double digit leads in all four of the games,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the biggest choke job maybe I've ever seen in my
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: entire life, and losing the third their third game, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: then last and then on Saturday. There's no question that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it was in the back of their heads that we're
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: up again. We're not going to do this again, are we?
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: And sure enough they just started playing that exact same way.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Like Scared dearon Fox was terrible throughout the game. And
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: he's supposed to be the veteran leader that was added
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: to the young group to put him over the top.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And not only was he missing every shot he took,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: he was like determined, I'm going to be the person
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that shoots every time. I mean, he was terrible down
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the stretch, everything that they did where it looked like
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you're not playing the way that you should play purely
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: because you're worried about blowing another lead, that is giving
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: it away. I mean, yeah, the Knicks played well down
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the stretch, but it had a lot more to do
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: with San Antonio. And look, I've been saying this throughout
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the season and throughout the playoffs, and I really thought
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: they were going to prove me wrong when they took
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: out the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the NBA, you have
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to lose before you win. You have to lose in
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: a big moment and learn how to move on from that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It's happened to every great player, It's happened to every
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: great team. No one's ushered to the front of the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: line their first time that they get there. And I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: really thought they were going to buck the trend after
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: they took out Oklahoma City and nope, because all of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: those things that get associated with that young team that
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't know how to finish this until they've tasted a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: bitter loss at this level. All of it came through,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and it came true in the NBA Finals, and they
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: just choked away game after game after game in the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: exact same fashion, like taking terrible shots, can't hit anything
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: down the stretch. It wasn't that New York took their
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: will from them. It's that san Antonio didn't know how
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: to finish. Maybe they'll learn that they're gonna have to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: in future years, but this was about the New Knicks
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: not being intimidated by being down, which is part of it,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and san Antonio clearly not knowing how to finish off
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a game in the NBA playoffs in the NBA Finals.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and almost I don't think panicked is the right word,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: but almost.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Like oh, we just have to just do this and
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: we'll be okay.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: But like they had blinders on to actually see what
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: really they needed to do, that they needed to make adjustments.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: They didn't want to do it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: It was just stay focused, day focused, day focused. And
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: then the Knicks were like, okay, thank you, we'll take this.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's pretty much what it was. Like, Hey,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you've outplayed us for the Spurs led for seventy five
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: percent of the of the series. That's three quarters out
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: of four. They were beating them, and I guess that
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: they spent more time up ten points or more than
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the Knicks spent leading in this entire finals. So don't
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: tell me that was that was strategy. That's what I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: had to hear on my way in. No, that was strategy.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: They were setting them up for the fourth quarter. No,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: they were outplayed and they kept their cool and san
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Antonio didn't. And that is New York having the experience
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of having their heart ripped out in the NBA playoffs
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and learning from that lesson. The Spurs just had their
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: heart ripped out. And now we'll see if they can
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: learn from that lesson or if they're gonna be looking
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: over their shoulder for the rest of the time. This
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: is gonna haunt them, not just this offseason, but potentially
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: going forward. It's not like the Western Conference competition's light.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna see how san Antonio bounces back from
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: this for years to come. But that had a lot
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: more to do with san Antonio choking it away than
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it did the Knicks seizing. Although I do give the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Knicks credit. All right, what's on tap, let's look at it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: What's on tap? What's on tap? And what's on tap
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: is now brought to you by the Emerald Queen Casinos
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Emerald Queen Casino Sportsbook. Visit Emeralqueen dot com for details.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Emeral Queen Casino always entertaining. The Haynes win the Stanley
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Cup in six games. The Knicks win the NBA title
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: in five games. The draft is just nine days away.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: In the NBA, they don't mess around. Also, between now
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and the draft, we are expected to get the Jannis
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Antetokunpo trade as well, which we'll send shockwaves. World Cup,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: of course, got started last week. We will discuss it
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: with Danny Jackson today at seven oh five. The US
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: dominated Paraguay Friday night. Meanwhile, if there were any upsets,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: it was Brazil, Netherlands and Switzerland all being battled to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a draw. We'll call it a draw. So that happened
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, but no big loss occurred on the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: first week. But half the teams haven't even played their
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: first game yet, So more action coming your way today
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: in the World Cup. In the first game here in
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Seattle will be played as well. US Open Week is
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: this week. Major Golf Challenge launches today at ninety three
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to three kjar dot com. We're going to dive into
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: that a little bit later on in the week, probably
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: not spend too much time on it today. The College
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: World Series Ole missed the first team eliminated yesterday. Meanwhile,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: North Carolina won over West Virginia, so they're in a
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: good position today. An elimination game at eleven o'clock between
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Alabama and Texas and Georgia and Oklahoma. They won their
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: first round games, so they will play today at four o'clock.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: The Washington Nationals absolutely trucked the Mariners the last couple
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of days, ten to one and eight to three, so
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the Ms dropped two out of three to The Washington
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Nationals sit just a game over five hundred right now
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: at this stage, just a game up on the A's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and the Rangers in the American League West standings, and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: suddenly they are dealing with a lot of injuries. Randy A. Rose, Arena,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Josh Naylor, Andres Munos all left over the weekend with injuries.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Cal and JP we're already out and now they are
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: planning their returns on Tuesday after a day off, and
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the Mariners will host the Orioles starting tomorrow night. We'll
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: recap yesterday's crappy loss next though, Mariners Morning After comes
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: your way on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Well,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: let me be your host here in the nation's capital.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Come on. I know you beat us on Friday night
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and looked your best you've looked in a week. But
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: come on me, I'll show you. I'll show you how
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: bad it can get. Yeh. Basically, good night, nurse. What
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a disaster the last couple of days. I mean, how
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: on earth? How on earth? I mean, I get it's
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: not gonna be some smooth road, and you don't go
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: out this is baseball. You don't go ahead and dominate.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: But how could you after everything that you go through,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and then you get to like game seventy, feels like
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you've dug out of your hole, and then just all
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, for the span of about five days,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: just play as bad as you could possibly play, have
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: about as many injuries as you could possibly have. I mean,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: just a mess, just an absolute messast four or five games.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I think I'd get injured too if I was playing
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: in the last two. It was frustrating.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: I think the most frustrating thing was to have what
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: to watch what we watched on Friday, and then have
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: to watch what we had to watch on Saturday and Sunday,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: and it was everything.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: And I get it. When it's baseball and it's kind
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of a slow moving game, and when you're out of it,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we think and are they even trying?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: And that's not necessarily the case, and yet I think
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that's been the case lately. It just it feels like
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: they're just like, tonight's not our night, and they figure
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that out, like in the second inning, Yeah, huh, not
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a night today. Boys, Let's try to get through this
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: without being forfeiting our paychecks. I mean just gross. Like
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: everything about it the last two days just gross. And
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: so we recap marin this morning after here yesterday's ten
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: to one blowout at the hands of the Washington National.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It got off to a good start, very first inning.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Josh Naylor drives in a run.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Not been an easy road trip when you think about
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the travel, let alone the injuries. This finds the gap
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: and goes to the base of the wall. Young is
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: being held now being waved home. It's bobbled up there
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: on the warning track. Naylor in its second and right
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: away the Mariners out of the board.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: It's one to nothing. Aaron Goldsmith on the call Mariners TV. He,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, got off to a pretty decent start. Cole
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Young gets a little excuse me infield single, and then
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Jacob Young, who's one of the best defensive players in
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the world period, Bobble's uncharacteristically a ball that goes to
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the wall and it scores the first run, and you're
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: feeling pretty good at that point. One to nothing already
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: up Emerson. Hancock on the mound. He's been all Star
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: like this season. Well, he gave back that run the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: very first batter that he faced. James Wood hits a
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: home run to make it one to one, and then
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: it just never and then it just went all Nowals.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: From that point. It was one to one until the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: bottom of the fourth, and I don't know if I
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: will ever see this happen again. In the span of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: five pitches, five pitches, it went from one to one
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: to six to one, five pitches, no adjustment made. Emerson
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: just kept throwing strikes down the middle of the plate,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and the Nationals were clearly going up there trying to
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: hit first ball, and no adjustments made by a catcher,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: no adjustments made by Emerson, no visit from Pete Woodworth.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: It was just rinse and repeat, over and over. Even
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: though the Nationals had a new book out on Emerson Hancock,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: they were reading it as they were coming up to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the plate. Five pitches, it went from one to one
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to six to one. I'm not exaggerating that. Yeah, five
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: five batters, five pitches.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: In the span of five hitches in the game, it
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: went from one to one to six to one. And
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: it's not like the bases were loaded when that streak began. Yeah,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: there was one guy on base and then in the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: span of five pitches, six to one. Yeah, unreal.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: It was gross and I just watching it, and I
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: could you could even hear the kind of disdain in
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Aaron's voice when they got the fifth hit. He's like, oh,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: I've had four hits in a row, make that five,
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: And I mean, it's just it was. It was weird
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: to watch because you're thinking, like, wait a minute, how
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: did this all of a sudden get out of hand
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: so quickly and they haven't even done anything remarkable. It
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: was just it wasn't like a Grand Slam all of
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: a sudden blew it wide open.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it was crazy.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Five pitches, five hits, five runs. Yep, that's what happened
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: yesterday at the bottom of the fourth. And then from
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: that point forward, I mean, nothing that was there was that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, we had to check our team for a
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: pulse after that. I mean, Miles Michaelas is terrible and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: yet comes in in relief and shuts us out. I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: mean it was an opener that was expected that he
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: would be long relief, but a three hitch shutout over
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the course of the next seven innings for Miles Michaelis
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: at a lopsided ten to one game, and then had
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: injuries to insult Josh Naylor's obviously not right, Andres Munnos
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: came into the game, which in a way I was
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: glad to see, but then he ends up leaving the game,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: and so that tax on to Randy a Rose Arena
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: who left the day before. So just a disaster, just
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: an absolute disaster. A road trip that started with those
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: two wild, crazy wins over the Orioles, and then it's
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a I mean, and then a Friday night, then they
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Tuck in a Friday night victory, and then everything else
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: was just gross. The four losses. There's one thing to lose,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: it's another thing to just it was just gross. Yeah,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for all four of those losses, We're just terrible, and
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Mariners paid for it. They sit here, just a game
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: over five hundred. Here's Dan after the game.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, you know, not how we wanted to end
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: up that long road trip, but uh you know, uh
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, really they got the scoring going
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: in that one inning and and uh you know, it
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: seems like they were pretty aggressive on Emerson there and
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: that in that in that inning and able to get
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: some balls through the holes and and uh you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: really put together quite an inning and and you weren't
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: able to bounce back from that.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: You know, the nails just.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Uh you know, following it off his shin there got
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: him pretty good, and and uh, you know, I just
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: wanted to get him out of there. I think, uh,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: you know, he's he's checked out fine with the X
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: rayser negative, so I think, uh, you know, just to
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: chances formed it to make sure he was okay, and
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: and uh get him off of his feet for the
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: rest of that one and the Mooney with a little
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: bit of lower back tightness there and kind of started
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: to tighten up on him and in that when he
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: came out there to get started.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: So you know, day to day on that as well.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: So you know, one to you know, to move on
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: from get back to Seattle and get back to where
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: expecting cow back on Tuesday, and he's playing again today
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: and all reports have been good. Obviously the results have
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: been good, So I mean, I think that's the plan
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: and we'll just kind of see how he bounces back
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: from today and you know, continue to assess it.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: The Makers Dan Wilson after the ten to one loss
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to the Washington Nationals on Sunday, the team sitting just
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a game over five hundred right now. That does make
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: it good for a first place standing right now, but
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: just a game up now on the A's and and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: the Rangers, both of them, just a game back in
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the division, and you do have a day off today,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So if you want to look for the silver lining,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: it kind of feels like, seventy three games into the season,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: it has not gone the way that we thought or
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: hoped it was going to go. And yet you're still
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a first place team and you really do get kind
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: of a reset day. You kind of spend the entire
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: day just hitting the reset button right now to lick
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: some of your wounds, your recent wounds, to get to
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: your two leaders back by tuesday. JP's going to be activated,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: sounds like Cal's going to be activated, and then Randy
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: might be back by tuesday as well. It sounds like,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: so you just used this forty eight hour period from
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the loss yesterday till when you throw out the first
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: pitch tomorrow night at home to kind of hit a
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: reset button. And so that's probably the silver lining in
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: all of this, because lately, this last week it couldn't
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: have been uglier. I mean, I thought that was the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: ugliest five games of baseball that we've watched this team play.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: And it has not been a pretty season.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: No, it has not been pretty at all, and it
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: is and it's hard to kind of go back to
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: watching that when you think like, oh, maybe we've moved
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: past some of this ugliness, and then it just rears
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: its ugly head. I guess another overlining is you've got
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: the Orioles and Red Sox coming in who are supposed
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: to be worse than you are.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: But that doesn't usually mean a lot to us.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, we will update you on
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: cal JP and all of these injuries. That's a big
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: story going into today. Plus Danny Jackson to talk some
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: World Cup at the top of the hour and your headlines.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: It's Chuck and Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. Hey, great mind today, morning to you all.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: We've got headlines coming up at the top of the hour.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Our Seahawks one series continues today with the QB one himself.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millan will be joining us today at eight o'clock
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and guess who QB one wants to break down. I'm
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: gonna leave it a mystery.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, I was gonna make a guess.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Not gonna give you any hints about who QB won.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millan is going to break down today. Jason Myers, No, oh,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I can see how you would have gone there. Yeah,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: that's based off of my really vague clues.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I have no idea. I'm excited.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: So that's coming up at eight o'clock here today and
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Danny Jackson at seven oh five. Seattle host its first
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: World Cup game at twenty twenty six today at noon
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Belgium versus Egypt. Finally, finally we can settle this once
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: and for all. Yeah, for years, who's the better team?
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Uh huh, it's been an ongoing debate.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Yam or yam or talk talk. Let's just finally play it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: And look it happened.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Uh huh. Let's get to the bottom of it.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: And I'm glad it's happening here.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Let's let our feet do the talking.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, I see what you did there.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: So yes, that's coming up a little bit later on
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: today right down the street as a matter of fact,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: But you know, we do have ABC's to the MS today,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Baseball brunch today. I'm not gonna spend a lot of
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: time talking about that disastrous last couple of days in Washington, DC.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I'll just say this, there is a chance, as I
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: mentioned right at the end of our last segment, to
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: kind of hit a reset button. I don't know why
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: this is necessary, I don't. I mean, this team is
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: too good right now to be at thirty seven and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: thirty six. I don't care how many injuries, nagging injuries
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: they've had here as of late. There still should be
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: some separation between them and the five hundred mark. More so,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: than there is now, and there should be some separation
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the way the rest of the American League West has
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: played between the Mariners and everybody else. But this is
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: where we're at. We are seventy three games into the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: season of game over five hundred, a game up in
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: first place, and probably should feel fortunate to be there
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: because this team just has not put it together consistently
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: so far this year. And I think the last five
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: days have been about as bad as I've watched this
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: team play unfortunately. Yeah, yeah, other than Friday, which I
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: didn't get to watch because I was in Tacoma, so
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't even get to watch the one shining example
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: of the last five days. What I've seen the last
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: five days horrible, right, Yeah, And so we'll just use
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: today to reset things because this team is dealing with
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of injuries right now. We've been without cal
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Raley throughout this last couple last month or so. We've
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: been without JP for the last couple of weeks. Maybe
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: they've missed their leadership, maybe that caught up to them.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but our two leaders are going to
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: be back on the field. It looks like tomorrow, and
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it sounds like Randy a Rose Arena who injured and
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: left the game on Saturday, might be good to go
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: by tomorrow as well. So not bad. I mean, you
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: get home, you're still over five hundred, you're still a
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: first place team, and you might have three really key
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: pieces to your clubhouse, two key pieces to your clubhouse,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: three key pieces to your team all back tomorrow and
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: that'll be a welcome sight.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it will be like today was just okay, we
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: pushed the the wash cycle. Everything got cleaned up, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: we're gonna spit out a healthy team tomorrow.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: Is that how that works?
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. I mean, I think just
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: getting home will be refreshing. Obviously. I love how everybody
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: acts like they can't stand the cold weather here in April,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: and then the moment they go to warm weather, they're
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: melting like candles too close to the fire. And so
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you know, you'll get back, I mean, you won't have
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: to even play on the hot day, so you'll get
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: back to cooler temperature starting tomorrow. You'll get back to
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: cal Raley being in the lineup. It sounds like JP
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: being back in the lineup, And I don't know what's
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: going on with Josh Naylor. Obviously there's a wrist thing,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and then he files the ball off of his shin yesterday.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: That looked very painful. I'll give him that. And I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: don't know if the injuries are causing him to play
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: so sloppy in the field, but that cannot continue. That
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: is just a position that you have to be sure handed.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: It is a first basement. I mean, some time will
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: put like a big plotting dude who can really crush
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: a baseball at first base because we don't have any
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: other place to put him. But at bare minimum, we
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: don't expect the spectacular over at first base, but at
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: bare minimum from a first basement at the major league level,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: you expect the routine plays to be made, and Josh
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Naylor's not making them. And it has led to a
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: lot of big innings because he's not securing an easy
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: out and so whatever. I mean, there have even been
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: balls that he could have caught. He wasn't even given
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the error on. I mean he's made five errors already.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah live and it was Saturday, right yeah with Castillo
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: where when they had the three to nothing lead and
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: all runs were unarned. Yeah, yeah, because I was outside
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: watching again, and we had people playing golf and they'd
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: come by and.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: Say, Oh, what's the score. What's the score?
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: It's a three? Nothing.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Oh it's Castillo sucking?
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Is it actually? Now?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, he's got to get right, and I
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's the injuries that's causing it. I
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: don't know. Seems like a little bit of hot dog
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: over there at times as well, and not a lot
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: of concentration over there, and so that's not what we
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: saw last year from Josh Naylor at first base. So
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of issues of facing this team and maybe,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you know, a day off, a reset, being back home,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: seeing cal Agan, having JP back in the lineup will
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: wash away some of the sins of this weekend. But
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: it's it's been a rough go and hopefully Tuesday marks
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a new chapter in this season. All Right, Headlines next
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: plus Danny Jackson on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
