  Speaker 1: two pm this afternoon. I'll I'll get to the Mariners
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in a second, just real quick, on to put a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: bow on college basketball. It's kind of cool. I jumped
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in the car yesterday after our postgame show for the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Kraken and uh HEADKG are already on and boom and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: we the Anders. You had finished the post game show. Yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: about the same time we did. Flipped it over. So
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I got to listen to the last seven or eight
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: minutes of the championship game on my drive home. Courtesy
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of Westwood One. We love carrying the games. Our relationship
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: with Westwood one's awesome. Honestly, more important than having any
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: kind of network behind you. We're Fox Sports affiliate, obviously,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but the fact we have Westwood One, we have March Madness,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we have the NFL, we have what we need. It's perfect.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And so listen to that game on the way home,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and it was basically a heavyweight slug fest back and forth.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And you know, people, if you want to see high scoring,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you know, guys knocking down threes and all that fun stuff,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that wasn't what you have and there's a lot of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: criticism today on a couple of fronts about the college game.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday. The ratings are good, Uh,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they always are for March Madness. I'm not good that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that is a is a non factor in terms of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the interest of the sport, the interest in the postseason.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Because Mark asked me my favorite postseason, that's a great question.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Is it's a good summer question? For sure, it's a good.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good question because like weekend
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: one of March Madness, the round of sixty four in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the round of thirty two, is it's phenomenal, It's unbelievable.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I think I think the first round of the Stanley
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Cup playoffs, Oh yeah, unreal. Yes, you get upsets, hot goaltending.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Seems like you always have long series. The way the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: format is, you have a two and a three playing
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in each division. I mean, it's it's crazy good. You know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: NFL it feels like NFL wild card weekends always better
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: than the next two weekends. Yeah whatever, for whatever reason,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you know, And and then but it's just kind of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, college football playoffs, which we have now, like
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you can debate that good bad. We have some blowouts
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in that and then we have some great games, but
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: then we have more. It feels like we have more
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and more blowouts. And then in college basketball, we had
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the game last night that people weren't happy about because
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't a beautiful thing. In terms of basketball,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the team's combined to shoot for like thirty percent, the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: second lowes shooting percentage in the championship game in history,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and all that. I still think playing in the stadium
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and the money grab that is seventy thousand people needing
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to cram into a football stadum to watch a basketball
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: game is absolutely ridiculous. It's not going to change by
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: me or anybody else yelling and screaming about it, but
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. I can tell you this. The data can
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: tell you whatever it wants. And there's data on both sides,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: data that says big stadium bad shooting. Big stadium doesn't matter.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: All go. I'll take it a big level day to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the state high school basketball tournament. Were there every year
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: at Ta Comba Dome, and every year and I'm there,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I hear from the players and the coaches, and we
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: talk to people and we're wandering around the way they
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: split the Tacoma Dome. If you haven't been there, this
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: massive black curtain splits the Tacoma Dome floor, so you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: have girls on one side, boys on the other. Everybody
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: wants to shoot at the black curtain in the second half.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It's just easier to shoot if you shoot at the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: opened end, whether it's boys or girls, and one is
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: north end, one of south end, depending on where what
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: courts is right. It's really hard. The depth percession perception
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is hard. It's not what you're used to seeing in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a normal gym, and so, yeah, the stadium makes a difference.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: The bigger issue there was complaining about screaming, yell and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: holleran you know, Michigan. Oh my gosh. It's just you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: they have five starters that were, you know, in the portal.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: They didn't have a freshman, so it's not that bad.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But they they're they're top five guys basically, Mara, Lendenburgh, Johnson, Cadeaux,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Burnett and those guys are all transfers from UCLA, Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, and Illinois and they rebuilt a team from
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the portal. That, folks, is how it works. In today's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: college basketball and frankly in today's college football. That's how
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it works. So we can scream and yelle and holler
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and how much we hate it. The transfer portal opened
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: today a victim, well last night, I guess at midnight.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And everyone's in it. Everyone's going. If you watched any
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: tournament games at all, Kentucky's best players in the portal.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Kansas has a starter in the portal, Arkansas has a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: starter in the Everyone has a starter or multiple starters
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: in the portal.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: And the good teams are not immune to this.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: That's the key Andrews exactly good teams. I mean you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: look look at where Michigan got their guys. A de
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Mara UCLA Sweet sixteen team, right. Actually, Lendon Big is
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit different, UAB, smaller school obviously, Marez Johnson junior,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you already played last year their power forward Illinois. Yeah,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: let me check notes. Final four teams.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, pretty good, lat.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Caddo Chex's notes, blue Blood North Carolina, the Mario Burnett
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Alabama tournament team. No one's immune from it right now.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: The arms race is different for some than others. But
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that's just where we're going, does it hurt the popularity
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of the game. No, you know why because of what
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: we all do. We put juice on things. Yeah, don't
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: kid yourself for one second. Why are some sports more
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: popular than others? Or why are some tournaments or playoffs
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: or what have you more popular than others? There is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: one massive reason. It's because of the ability to gamble,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: or play fantasy, or do a bracket. It's one or
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: all of those. You mean money, it's it's a vested interest. Yes, yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you have a vestment. You have juice, whether you put
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: five dollars. We do that gas Man Memorial bracket for
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: for us here, and what we should point out is,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: as it was pointed out, gas is still very much
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Why did they name it that?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Well, your predecessor named it that, so I know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't remind us that he didn't invite me
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: No, were you in the other one?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I was and I won?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Which one?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Were you in the iHeart one?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: That's one. That's the one we're talking.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, you're talking about gas Man Memorial. It's different.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Oh I didn't do the iHeart one, okay, anyway, I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: didn't need the the But whether it's five or ten bucks,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. You're it's you have a vested interest
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in the bracket whether what is Why is the NFL
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: popular why? We all know why. It's because of fantasy football. Yes,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I mean the only people that don't play fantasy football
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: are named Mark James, and uh and Dave Softy, mall.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Everybody else in the country literally everyone else.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Wait, really, Mark doesn't play, No, no, but he's.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: He's he's mister gamble sent though, but he.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Still get Yeah, that's why and guess what and that's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: why really, so they have their own vested interest in it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And so you know, when you see the numbers. I know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: at one point one of the tournaments, of the tournament
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: games were peaking at like nineteen million. They were they weren't.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That was just like a peak for like a ten minute,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you know, quarter hour. It's not that, but they were
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: huge numbers, big numbers. And people say, well, it's not broken.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: No, it's not.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It's never gonna be broken. As long as it's done
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the right way and you can do a bracket, the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: NFL is never gonna be broken. As long as people
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: were playing fantasy football or can go to in our state,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a tribal casino we energy to go to, so call
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: me me or other places, DraftKings, what have you. You
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: can you put juice on stuff. It's easy to do.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: MLB does not lend itself to that, not as much.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It just I mean, you can. I've played roach history
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: baseball back in the day. Like that's a grind, Like
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you better have a lot of time on your hands.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: It's it's a grind, but it doesn't lend itself to that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: NHL people do play fantasy hockey. I think you do.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: And right, it's my favorite fantasy sport. Actually is it
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: really insane? I like the daily grind, but different than
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: baseball because like you have to kind of, you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: be strategic with how many games teams are playing in
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: certain weeks, and like it's it's more than just everyone's
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: playing every day, you know what I mean.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: So that's yeah, So, so hockey probably easier than baseball
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Well it's half the time, it's half the games.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's it. So, I mean, that's why it's popular.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the so, so the transfer
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: portal is not going to end the popularity of march madness.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Like people could be mad at Michigan all they want.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I think Indiana just won a national championship with a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of transfers, did they not in college football?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And no one got mad at that. No, because it
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: was Indiana and it was Kurt Signetti, he's awesome.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: We're we're mad because we're mad because it's Michigan.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: It's true.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: It's different though.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: You know, you can have two transfers on a basketball
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: team and that'll make the entire thing.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: It's not the same in football. True, No, you have
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: twenty two.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Guys, like five guys, five starters for Michigan were all.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Transfers, right exactly.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: That that's it that need well they yeah, I mean
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you could probably get away with two or three if
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we have some freshmen. That but what we saw is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: this what we see with Arizona. Arizona started three, their
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: three best players were freshmen. They their doors blowing off
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: by an older team. So anyway, I put a rap on.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought the tournament was fun. I'm not.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I thought, you know, we had the Dylan Darling play
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: for Saint John's, we had the Mullens shot for Yukon.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: We had the shot by Iowa at the buzzer. I mean,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: we had some great, great finishes early in the tournament.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: That's why I say the early part of the tournament's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the best. And yeah, maybe some of the final four
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: or even the Ladia games disappointed, although certainly not the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Ladia games. They got Yukon there. But yeah, it was
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it was fun. I'm
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: glad we have it on our air. I'm glad we
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: we can wrap it up and now we move on
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to baseball NHL and NBA playoffs and of course the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: NFL drafts and all that. But talking about baseball, our
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: guy Joe Shean will join us Mariners off to wait
• 10:54

  Speaker 1: newsletter Joshian dot com. What are we This is coming
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: up on thirteen days into the season. Does that sound right?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I think there no twelve days in the season. We
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: opened up two weeks ago, coming Thursday, so here we
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: are deep into it, Joe. I think we can make
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: some rash judgments, can we not?
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the Marlins are the best team in baseball and
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: the Red Sox should just release everybody.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: The two eight Red Sox panic at Fenway Park. You
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: can read it at Joshian dot No. I want to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: get to a bunch of stuff and go ahead.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you what's funny though, if you look at
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: the standings, everything is compressed. There aren't a lot of
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: oh my god, this team is whatever. Because I'm gonna
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: get this wrong coming but it's something like only three
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: teams have fewer than four wins, and only three teams
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: have fewer than four losses. Than four losses, I get
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: that wrong, Only three teams have uh, basically ways jammed
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: up between like seven and four and four and six.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: There's just no outliers.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: It's it is. It is great. I mean, Dodgers and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Brewers are eight and two and then the two and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: eight Boston Red Sox jump off the page, and everyone
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: else is kind of in like you said that kind
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of that that middle class, right, that's just uh, that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: says how it is so far.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: You know that you know the great philosopher. His name
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: is Chris Crawford. You've heard that name before, right, No,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: never heard of I love that now, Andrews, you do
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you do Anders? You should do post cast with him?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that'd be good.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I did, Joe. I did reach out to Chris today
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and I just said because I was listening to our
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Midday guy before me and and he was getting pretty
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: harsh on Dan Wilson. And I'm not I don't want
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to put words of his mouth. He didn't say fire
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Dan wilsonor anything like that, but he just he's questioning
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson as a manager and where he ranks and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: things like that. And you know, the Mariners get you know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: beat two to one last night. They have two hits
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: on Cal solo home run and then Randy hit later
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and that was it. Offense is struggling and what have you?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And I just asked Chris because I'm just curious because
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times, you know, all we
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: can't talk about that. Listen, games are played every night,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and if you're a fan, you kind of want to
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: discuss what you're seeing. You just talked about one of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the things out there, and that's kind of this compacted,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: this compacted thing. But I thought what Chris said was interesting.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: He says, listen, it's it is. You know, it is
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: very early and all those things, but the one thing
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you can look at is games in April matter as
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: much as games in August and September. And the Mariners
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: are a good example of that. Last year they had
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to play game six and seven in the ALCS in Toronto.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Why because slow start, and they finished four games behind
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. So I ask you this, Joe she
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and you're sitting there, your Mariner fans are saying, I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: know we're told not to be worried or not worried,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: yet we're not worried. But what should we be thinking
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: right now? With this baseball team that is four and seven,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: has yet to win a series and can't hit the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: ball yet.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: Other than Bryce Miller, they've been very fortunate help wise.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: I've got to focus on that. Every players dropping all
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: around the league, and the Marinas have been pretty healthy.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: You look at the offense, which has really been the
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: things that struggled the most. We can look at quality
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: of vatted ball information now over at baseball savon and
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: one of the things I was checking out today is this.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: The Mariners have the fourth largest gap in baseball between
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: the quality of their vatted ball production and what they've
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: actually got the single, doubles, triples, homers, what have you.
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: So they're still not hitting well. They're nineteenth in the
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: leag you can expected way it on base average, but
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: they are underperforming their actual bat and ball. They're hitting
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: better than the results they're getting. I love Chris's point
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: about the games now meaning as much as they do
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: in September, because most fans won't tell you that. Most
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: meeting won't tell you that. You know, you get to
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: August September as well. No, this is when it counts.
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: I'm like, No, every game counts exactly the same, and
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: if you win enough in April, you don't have to
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: win quite as much a you know, you can put
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: this season away in September and you can cruise through September.
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: So these games do matter. Yeah, you mentioned the difference
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: between having to play games four and six and seven
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: in the ALCS last year. Yes, the slow start will
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: affect that. I did take the other tack, though, Chris,
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: which is actually the end, which is that everybody's going
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: to lose sixty games, and when you lose them to
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: everybody's going to go four and seven at some point, right,
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: you know, even if everybody's pretty almost everybody's going to
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: go to and eight at some point, you know, if
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: you're a Red Sox fan. So we tend to focus
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: on these numbers earlier in the season because if they're
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: all we have, right right, it's not a four and
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: seventh stretch in the middle of July. It's for oh
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: my god, we're four and seven. You forn someone over
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: the last eleven games. Likely as not you're going to
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: play better than that. You're going to hit better than this,
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: So I wouldn't panic. You mentioned Wilson. I criticized Wilson
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: last year. I don't think he's a great tactical manager.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: You know, I defended the final decision last year to
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: use bizartro but up until that point, I didn't think
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: he was great at running the running the stack, which
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: is ninety nine percent of what a manager does. Now anyway, right,
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: they don't have the roster space for two in their
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: pinch hit there's not a lot of one run strategy.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: So really we're measuring manager's tactics by how will they
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: run the books? And I don't think Wilson is the
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: greatest of that.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Joe, Johan dot Com, the and E listen. I bring
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: this up, and I think this is why it's important.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: This is and this is weird for us as Mariner
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: fans out here. I'm concerned about home field advantage. I E.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming they're going to be a playoff team, right,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: That's that's so. These are these are the these are
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the small things that we're worrying about. But it's not
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: a small thing because I mean, how nice would it
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: have been to have games six and seven at Team
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Mobile Anders You were there, Jess, you were there. I
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: was there for one of the playoff games. It was insane,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: like it was, I mean, it was so fun. Yeah,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the players fed off that they said that if you're
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox at two and eight, are you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: concerned there? Because that's a team we kind of thought
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: would be pretty good this season. Or what are the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: things minus seventeen run differential already? Things like that. Toronto?
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: We know, we know Toronto's got all kinds of injuries,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: so we look at them as well. But let's look
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: at at Toronto and Boston, two teams in the Al East.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: How concerned should those teams be?
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: I think he has to have these conversations independent of record,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: the two and eight, four to six, four seven, whatever
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: you are, what are the actual things that we've seen
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: over these first ten twelve bays. I think Jay's obviously
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: the to the pitching injuries are really highling up Cody
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: ponksk led all Is ACL. He was the right handed
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: that they brought back.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: To the KBO.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: He was supposed to be a good you know, provides
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: some meetings at the back end. East Hurt Trey Yest advantage,
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: last year's UH rookie who was dominated in the playoffs.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: He's been on the el to start the season. Now,
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure that looks like he's going to be
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: opera a little bit. I mean they the pitching injuries
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: are starting to pile up on a team that didn't
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: have a lot of great pitching depth to begin with.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: We've also seen the offense slip a bit, and that
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: this was to be expected. Their offense last year was
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: really built on a lot of depth and a ton
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: of players who he really couldn't expect to repeat last
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: year's season, so I predicted the offense to be a
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: little bit off. So everything going a little bit wrong
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: for the for the Jays, you know, the Red Sox.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: Trevor Story had the bounce back here last year. He's
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: been terrible to start, some of the young players and
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: Roman Anthony had a good night last night until asked
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: him to throw a ball and they threw an eight
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: hopper to the plate. So he's had some misches defensively.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Massella Meyer, I'm a little frustrated by his usage. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: would like to see him playing every day and staying
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: in the game. He's been purtued a little bit, so
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: I'm not I don't love how Alexcan has handled that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: Outside of therek Crochet, you know, the both the rotation
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: hasn't been a great for them. Gray BeO got knocked around.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: You know, there's a great match up tonight Crochet and
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: Jacob Ziraski for the Brewers. Fantastic matchup the Fenway. So
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: they there are real things that, independent of the record,
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: are showing up with some of these teams. You think
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: about whether it's injuries, whether it's the fact of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: Giants camps field that's really driven there a lot of
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: them barks. Their defense has just been terrible. There are
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: real things that show up in ten days you just
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: don't want to overreact to.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would just look at the aos and say,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: here's a good news. Your four and seven. You haven't
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: hit the ball well. Your key guys have yet to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: hit the ball at all in the middle, you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, whether the Nailors or the Julio's, the Cows,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: those guys haven't done anything offensively. And yet look at
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the rest of the division. It's led by the La Angels,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and we just saw that team. They're not good. Like,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: that's not sustainable. We know that that's not so like.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It's not like someone's running away and hiding. And again
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: it's eleven games in and that that kind of jumps
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: out as well. I'm gonna ask you this question. I
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: was gonna save it for later, but I just I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: am curious because historically two teams do drop off, right
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: like they do, like, hey, we had a great year
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and something happens. When Baltimore went from ninety plus win
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: years ago to seventy five last year. Was that an
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: injury issue for the Orioles.
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: No, it was that didn't hit issue. The focus was
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: on their starting rotation, which wasn't good to start with
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: and was poor as the year went on. But it
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: was the offense that was more disappointing than the pitching.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: If you look at relative to expectations, you Gunna Henderson
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: slipped from you know, he had a very good realist year.
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: They sipped his great year. But a lot of the
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: guys they expected to step through, Adley Rutchman, Colton Coweser
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: didn't hit, Heston Kurstads basically lost in the miners. Now
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: you look at them getting only a half season out
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: of Jordan Westburn. All of the players that they had
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: said this is our core just failed to have good
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: years last year. So the offense really hurt them and
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: they went out this year. They went out and got Alonso,
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: They went out and trade Ty Taylor Ward. They traded
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: they acquired some pitching on the right, Chris Bassett, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: another starter in the rotation. So they went out and
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: tried to actually do it this year because one of
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: the frustrations with the Orioles had been that they hadn't
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: done this. They had this young cores not making any money,
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: and they didn't do anything around it. The one move
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: they made was the Corbyn Burns trade, which worked out
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: really well for them, and of course Burns left after
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: one year. So they finally went out this year and said,
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: we have to start spending some money and burning some
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: talent to get players around this core. So whether Michaelaias
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: felt like his job was on the line and they
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: had to win this year, I'm not sure. But they
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: had a much different offseason than we've seen them have
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: pretty much during this entire cycle.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Joshi and join us Josian newsletter brought to you by
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Northwest Handling Systems. Joe, I clicked the link to the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Baseball Savant page. Are Baseball's dead? What's going on? What
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: are we hearing?
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: Well? Yeah, I mean if you look at the drag
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: numbers at savant. It looks like roughly last year's distribution.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: And you know, we'll talked about this over the years
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: the baseball, and they'll be took over. Rawlings took over
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: the production of the ball about four or five years ago,
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: and we've seen the ball slowly not fly as well.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: I'm not talking about off the bat being like a
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: rabbit ball, but when the ball goes in the air
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: with the way it interacts with the air called drag.
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: They could actually measure this, which is crazy when I
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: think about waiting for like the Bill James book to
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: come out to have lusty righty splits back in nineteen
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: ninety five, the fact that we can measure the rare
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: the drag on the baseball is just astounding to me.
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: What it shows is that the ball still is not
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: flying very well. That's reflected in some of the early
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: season numbers. You know, early season numbers are going to
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: be lower than mid season numbers because games are there
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: are more games played in cooler weather, but a lot
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: of games are played in domes now, a lot of
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: games are still played in better climates. So it's not
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: just the early season weather, but early season shows that
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: the ball's not flying as well when guys hit it,
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: which is what savonn calls a barrel, they're getting much
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: less production out of those barrels. Those are the best
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: hit balls, so they're not flying. I was thinking about
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: the other night. Obviously what Joe Adell did was incredible,
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: but I can't help but watching that going, you know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: if the baseball flew a little bit better, that would
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: have been three on runs.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's exactly what I was gonna ask you. Like
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in Seattle's case, I mean, there's a there that all
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of a sudden is the series win? Right? You take
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the first two games of the series, and and one
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of the things you can contribute to the biggest thing
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: you can contribute that to is a guy going over up.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: First of all, I think it's just ridiculous. We have
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: like a wall, an outfield wall that's like three feet high.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: But that's just that's baseball, Like everything's different in that regard.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that kind of drag could that make That
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: could make the difference between what an extra foot or
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: two easy?
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: I think it's one.
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: The math is like one.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: Uh one hundred of whatever the measurement is in drag.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: So if you look at that scale, it's like point three,
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: four point three, five point three six talking about very
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: small numbers yere, but one of those is equivalent of
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: about five feet on a fly ball, and of course
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: if any of those balls flies an extra five five feet,
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: it's gone.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: The the factors that effect whether an individual flyball leaves
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: the yard or backspin and win at the moment, all
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: kinds of things. So I don't want to really make
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: this directly. If the ball was more lively, then barriners
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: would have had more rucks. But generally speaking, the ball
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: isn't flying as well as it did three four years ago.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: You back, if you look at that let's said, look
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: at that drag leader board, you can see like the
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: baseballs in twenty twenty one were basically all outside of
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: the range of the base balls that were in play
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: in twenty twenty five. That's a huge difference when you
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: just have an entirely different set of baseballs. They pushing
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: them back to twenty nineteen and we were hitting you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: they were hitting pool balls. Basically, they were they were
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: flying like crazy. To me, I think MLB has adjusted
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: too much in that direction. For this reason, the pitchers
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: are witches, and we still have a twenty two or
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: so percent strike got rate. If you watch any given
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: game now, between positioning and just lost skill, it's very
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: hard to get a hit on a ball and play.
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: Adding average on balls and play last year dropped the lass.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: He was two eighty seven, one of the lowest figures
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: we've ever seen. And then you can't hit the ball
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: over everybody because the ball won't fly.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: It's hard enough to hit the ball when you hit
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: it them play, the defenders catch it and you can
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: it over their heads. Exactly, how are you supposed to
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: build an offense in that envirtment?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: That's just crazy. It's This is a discussion will probably
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: happen as summer goes on against some more big Thanks again,

• 25:42
  Speaker 1: so far? What's pissing you off? I see some things
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: making you mad?
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: Well, I just want to say, I'm thankful to be
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: the first person to ever use abs and caps with absolute.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: And I'm sure nobody's ever made that joke before.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: You're the guy, got credit. You're the guy person.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: I'm not expecting me. I mean, this is this is
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: a better syst. And then we had I think the
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: biggest things. The focus has been on challenges and all
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: these pitches that just barely miss and everybody's all up
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: at arms. Oh I can't call that a strike. It
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: was in the strike zone. I want to know. The
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: focus has been on individual challenges and which catchers or
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: pictures are really good at it. And that's I'm not
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: saying none of that's interesting. But the two most interesting
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: things to me are this, hitters that aren't particularly hitters
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: that are not challenging pitches that are balls because in
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: their head they're thinking, do I want to burn a challenge?
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: We still have that gamifying aspect to it. And hitters
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: are not getting the full effect, full benefit of abs
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: because of the risks involved in challenging. There were eighty
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: number of times over the first ten days of the
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: season that I'd see at a hitter kind of almost
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: splinch what he wanted to make the challenge cap the head.
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: They didn't do it. So that's the first thing. The
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: same thing, though, is bigger and see for all of
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: the focus on pitches that are just missing or just
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: inside the zone, I think the biggest thing is we've
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: eliminated the pitch two inches off off the plate. That's
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: a strike umpires if they want to call it a
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: strike find, but it's going to get is gonna be
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: a good overturned. The pitches that were really screwing up baseball,
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: the ones that are just completely unhittable by any hitter,
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: are now going to be called balls. I saw Alex Freeland,
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: I want to say it was the Dodgers get called
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: out on a pitch two inches outside, and he immediately
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: and the umpire did like the whole plotzo thing, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: you could tell he was like prepared to do that
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: as the pitch came in and he just made a
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: big threely just tacked the head and sure enough the
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: pitch was obviously a ball.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: And that to me is the big thing.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: Right if the umpires now, the hitters now have a
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: recourse to all of these unhittable pitches that were regularly
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: being called strikes by these umpires, I think that's the
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: single biggest factor you're taking. That you're changing the relationship
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: between the pitcher and the hitter because so many times,
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: and you used to see pictures would get ahead, oh
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: one oh two, and just try to get that framed
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: strike two inches off the plate. And hitters now don't
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: have to worry about hitting that pitch, and that changes
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: the religion to a more fair relationship, and they have
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: a recourse when an umpire decides, oh I really want
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: to do my little, my little dance, my little punchy dance.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: Well you can do a little punchy dance, but the
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: batters still going to be at the plate because you
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: didn't pay attention. You didn't see that the pitch is
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: actually a ball. So that's the part of it for
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: all of this focus on you know, like I said,
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: you see the graphics where it's like, ooh, it was
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: a strike by zero point two inches.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: I don't care about that.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: I care about the fact that pitches two inches off
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: the plate or two inches low can no longer be
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: called strikes with impunity.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Joe, is framing a thing in the past now.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: No, because again, hitters have to hitters have to think
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: about the value of a challenge. I think those pitches
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: two inches off the plate are part of the past.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: But stuff that's close, you know, I think it's hard
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: for hitters, you know, not they're going to get that
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: wrong or it's going to be in that zone where
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: you just aren't sure. So I think there's still value
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: in catchers being able to present that pitch to the umpire.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: As much as I say I don't care for framing
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: being part of the game, it is still going to
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: be part of the game. But is it going to
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: be you know, where Patrick Bailey is worth three wins
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: with his framing alone.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: No.
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: I think those numbers might be reduced framing, which is
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: already we've seen the value of the skill narrow over
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: time as the worst framing catchers just aren't allowed to
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: catch anymore. I do think the range is going to
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: be eliminated a bit, as some of those pitches are
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: going to be reversed on appeal.
• 29:24

  Speaker 3: The daily power play is brought to you by.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: But just didn't Vori of Kabua Equipment in Kane County. No,

• 31:12
  Speaker 1: All right, idea power play your home for the crack
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and Night three point three k RFM cracking tonight taking
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: on the Minnesota Wild in Minnesota, back to back games. Listen.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Here's the reality. They're done as far as playoffs are concerned,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: not mathematically but realistically, six games, six games left, eight
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: points out. With six games left, the max points you
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: can get would be twelve. Even if you go six
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: and oher and you finish with eighty seven points, you.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Still need help.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: You need help that is probably impossible to get with
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: teams playing one.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Another and Anders mathod it for me. Earlier I was like, Okay,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I thought I got it, but now I really got it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: It's twelve is your max. Again. You win out, including
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: tonight in Minnesota against a team that is playing for something,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and it's really good. Minnesota is forty four to twenty
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: one and twelve. They have one hundred points. They would
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: be the top team in the Pacific Division, but they
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: are the third place team in the Central which means
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: if the playoffs were to begin today, they would start
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: on the road against Dallas with one hundred points on
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Oh man, and we'd have to get Sevy on again.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: No we don't. But here's the key. That's that's how
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: good they are in the division they're in, and they're
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: playing for something tonight.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: They need they want to get that two seed.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: They want that two seed something. I mean, they need.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: You need it kind of in a lot of ways.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: You really kind of need it. Lots of things have
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: gone wrong. We'll break that down on a different day
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: later on this year. Last night was a disappointment. You know,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking back at Entergy did the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: post game last night, but I was thinking back, March second,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: was a second March second, they beat Carolina here two
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to one. Oh yeah, they improved a twenty nine, twenty
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: two and nine. That was her second straight win, and
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: looking ahead at what was coming up after that, you're like,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: all right, they're gonna get on a little bit of
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: a role here, Like they're gonna get on a little
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: bit of a role like it. And what ended up
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: happening they lost at home to Saint Louis, Ottawa, Nashville,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and Colorado, four straight losses at home after that win
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: against Carolina, and it never got better from there. And
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: so it was just it was just like, I don't
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: know what happened, because that Carroll, the team that played Carolina,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league that night.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: That that team that played Carolina that day was was
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: something else. They were They were good, they were really good.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it just it's it's gone south.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: And I did see I was reading Animal City spect
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: for Dave Corbyn's guy Nick. The only thing is he's
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: key and others. I don't know how many times it
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: yells and this is again messaging. It's got to come
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: from not me, but because probably come from the organization.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: It's not Ron Francis.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: It's not Ron Francis running the team, guys, it's Jason.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: It's Jason bottroll Is running the hockey team. So if
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: like Ron ran it for the first four years, this
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: is not the Mariners in Dipoto and Hollander, it is
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: not that at all. It's different. I know there's a
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: title that sounds the same, but it's different. Again, this
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: is all for a different day, but last night was.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: It's either a team that's run out of gas or
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: they've given up the and it's one of those two things.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I think it's a team that just isn't talented by
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: that too.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Well that's okay, though, is it?
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: No? No, No, Like, if you were going to say
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: they gave up, I would have the talent level, I would.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Be I would feel better about the franchise's future if
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: I felt like the talent level was there, they just
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: needed to get more out of it, which is not
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: the case. I I feel like it's harder to get
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: more talented players.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: It just is.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Maybe sometimes yeah, you lucking the number one pick, maybe,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: but just saying.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I'm told, I'm told that the top if you're in
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the top four, you're gonna be in great shape. So
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: McKennon is obviously the key. But like like this is
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: you've top four, you're gonna be good. Hell, we just
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: saw a kid coming here was draft last in the
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: first round, Frondell. That just just like look at enters
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: in the night. My god. Yeah, he's younger than Berkeley. Yes,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: you can, you can. You draft right and you do
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: free agency and trade right and you're gonna help you. Yeah,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: but this is not about developing right now. This is
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: about getting better soon.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: This fan base needs this team to be better soon.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: So I think it's just a huge offseason for the
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: for the front office. But again, tonight we'll be on
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the air four thirty. Benton will be with you. I
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: think he's in Minnesota.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Still, he is in Minnesota, which is why I'm doing
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: post game for him.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: So, okay, and you are just a gem.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Mike does Mikey drink coffee?
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Does I'm just kidding, I know he does.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, you go from you got two
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: great coffee spots. Winnipeg's got Tim Horton's and Caribou coffee
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota is fantastic, Absolutely fantastic. Ribou coffee, Cariboo coffee
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: is fantastic. Yeah, so hopefully he's enjoying that. It's Mikey.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: He's enjoying himself.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: What a little too much?
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Probably I blame him. My thought is an awful call
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: last week. I kid, I kid because I love, I
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: kid because I love Mikey does a great job, absolutely
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: phenomenal job. Did you mean that when you said that
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: on the air?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Just cares, he gives, he gives.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I would love to hear what you think I should
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: do differently, because I really am curious. I thought I
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: had a decent game, but maybe not the best. No, Mikey,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: you did great. Nobody we are I'm just gonna say
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: this all joking aside. We're like to have that. Yes,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and he does more stuff in our station behind the scenes,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: and people have no idea about that. You can imagine,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: but nobody has. Nobody has more passion for what he
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: does in Mike and we love him. He'll be with
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: you from Minnesota. I like that, Actually, I think that's
• 37:13

• 41:29
  Speaker 5: he's a huge beer guy. And if there was a
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: beer release and it happened at three, it's just like Seattle,
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: you know, San Francisco's a big beer town. He would
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: just wait for the beer, like the beer would be released.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: He'd show up like three fifteen, Beer League, Dude, I
• 41:42

• 41:45
  Speaker 5: a former NBA player, Like he's got enough money. Libres was. Yeah,
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: he show up like three fifteen. But the good part
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: was he'd always have coolers of beer and he would
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: bring extras for the crew. So we didn't complain, Like what,
• 41:56

  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Harland does it?
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: Kurt Warner? I mean, there's a lot of guys, but
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: I probably put my first in the packing order.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I mean me, you know you probably should.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Great, you know what was what was on the national
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: show today? What was on your national show today? Because
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: you're a big national so glad to be done.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: No offense to college basketball. But it's like, you know,
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: it's not March anymore. It's draft time and all these things,
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: and everybody wants to talk about Michigan's win. It's like, okay,
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: and Dan hurt.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: People mad about it because that's I do like laughing
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: how people are like mad about Like, well, it's just
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that got in the transfer portal.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Have you seen Indiana's college football team?
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: It's like yeah, and that was kind of my rant today.
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: It's like get over it. Like that's like it's a
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: different way like my like you don't like door dash
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: or something like, it's technology. Man, it's the same way.
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: It's like, hey, they got five transfers. That's the way
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: he won the chant, Like what so what like that's
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: how things work. Now, what's a big deal?
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, the only way that wasn't going to be
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: a team that had some transfers on it. I mean,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I guess Yukon's got Caravan and a couple of freshmen.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: They're all right, but but like like unless Purdue one
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: and Purdue has Oscar Clough's he's a transfer, right, I mean,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: so like go through the list, everyone's got everyone's got
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: trans and Indiana Indiana football gets celebrated and Signetty got
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: his whole team from someplace else, right, I.
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: Mean, well, you know, And here's the thing too. Everybody
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: always complains about movement and sports and leland Ay and
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: cottonuity and you want every guy and it's look, it's
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: not the seventies anymore. And here's the reality, all of us,
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: all of us. This is what's so funny about it
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: is if we get a better opportunity, like we're gone tomorrow,
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: Like you want to pay me more money to go?
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: You know, as long as it's a great city. I mean,
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: that's why you are where you are. Like you, you've
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: never gotten a better offer, So there you are for
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: how many years you've been there, like twenty years. Somebody's
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: offering anything better. It's either right, Like most people, it's
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: like they're gone tomorrow. Like, Okay, your company doesn't have
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: a little too to you, that's there's no doubt about it.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: But you don't have any to your company either, Like
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: somebody wants to pay you more money and you're not
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: under contract and you can go, You're gone.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I think the bigger issue is just what you said, though,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: is it because because there is no true contract. And
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I brought this up just as a college fan, like right,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: just as all your your school a joking aside, your
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: school is in the same conference new conference next year
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: as mine, the new PAC twelve. Yeah, and I love this,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: like people like this. I don't know how Utah State
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: fans are you guys just lost one of your best
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: basketball players. Now the thing is Utah State hoops and
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: the coach. But you'll hire a good coach, you know,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: You'll hire a good coach and you'll bring in good
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: players because that's because Utah State basketball. Literally and you're
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: gonna find this out in the new pac twelve. Uta
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: State basketball they're good. I think it's because I think
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: you bring a kid there, you see the full full arena, Right,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: it's a big deal and all that. But that is
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: like I don't know how Utah State fans are. Here's
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: how Wazoo works. And just can tell you this, there
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: are those at Wazoo. Man, if you're not donating and
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: you're not helping the nil, you're a bad fan and
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: not and and my point is this, don't tell me
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a how to spend my money. But b if you're
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: gonna tell me, okay, I'm gonna donate X amount of
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: dollars and are will use Ace Glass, who was a
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: best He was a freshman, one of the top freshmen
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: last year in the conference in the WCS. Okay, that's cool.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Is A's gonna be there next year, you know, and
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: developed for one more year because they were bad this year.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: But all I like, no, he can take off any time.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Well what well, why would I donate money? Like, why
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: would I pay for this kid to finish twelve and eighteen?
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: Look, I got to I know this is gonna be
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: hard to believe that I'm gonna use this term, and
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: no one's gonna believe me. But I have a friend,
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: I swear I do.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: You're talking to him. You're talking to him right now.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: That's the problem.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: I know you are my only friends, but I have
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: one more, and he's he's a baseball agent. He loves
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: all this stuff. But the thing is, he makes a
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: lot of money off baseball. But they opened a full
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: division when this whole nil thing opened up, and he
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: had no idea what's going to be like that, and
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: he's making a boatload of money off nil. Having said that,
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: even he wants rules I got. We've had numerous conversations
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: because I know that you know, hey, I'm going to
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: bring up a you know I'm gonna do a radio
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: bit today. You know what are the insights this? And
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: now I've talked him a ton about it, and even
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: he is going, look, this is the wild West, this
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: is stupid. At some point there are going to be contracts.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: But it's kind of the thing that you and I
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: have already have talked about before. But it's still really interesting.
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: Even a guy like that who's an agent and plugged in,
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: he doesn't know where to go? Like I asked him,
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: I go, well, where can they start? Where can they go?
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: Who can they talk to? How how can this not
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: be the Wild West so much? Who exactly can kind
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: of wrangle this thing in? And he said, I don't know.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: Like I don't know, mister hand. You know, they don't
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: nobody knows who's in charge of anything, so they if
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: they can't even figure that out, this isn't gonna change
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: anytime soon. But you know there are people saying, look, yeah,
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: would be nice to be under a contract. It would
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: be nice because, like you just said, at a place
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: like Washington State or Utah State, these are stepping stone places.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: So if you're a really good player, could you get
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: a kid to sign a two year contract?
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: Hell?
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: No, you know, you can hardly get him to stay
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: one year. And a lot of times this has happened
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: in football. A kid decides, you know, between semesters, like
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: unless you pay me x amount, like I'm not you know,
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna play for you anymore. Like that's happened.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: It's crazy.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: The thing is is, it isn't if you're stepping stone
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: or not. I mean, every school is losing play. I
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: mean Kentucky lost their best player, Kansas lost a starter.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can go through the list. Arkansas lost
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: one of their better players, you know, I mean all
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: these amri v is leaving Texas sky Clark sky Clark
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: at UCLA, he's he's leaving, he's in the transfer portal,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: he's one of their best players. Like, it's just there's
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: nobody's I think my thing would be would be it's
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: just simple. You did kind of we joked about, like,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: you know, no one's giving us a better offer. You
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: and I both have worked with contracts. We have to
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: work with contracts, yes, right, and and like it's a
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: one way street. But at the same time, the funny
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: thing is when people say coaches can always leave, they can,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: but a coach in college sports, if they leave, they
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: have to pay or the school that hires them has
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: to pay the financial thing that they have to pay
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: on the other side. I don't know. I think I
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: think on the one transfer fine or you know, like
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: if there's a contract, I just it just there's gotta
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: be a better way. That said, I still think I'm
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: a big college basketball fan. I thought the college basketball
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: is better than it ever has been because of nil
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: because older players are staying. You know, guys aren't just
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: jumping to the NBA. And I mean I think back
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: to our guy Cglb at Wazoo. He's a local kid
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: from here. He went to the draft, early, left Wazoo early,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: had one contract in the NBA, fleshed out, never to
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: be seen again. I think the basketball is better for
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: the for probably the NBA in a sense, but also
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: certainly for college basketball. It's just better basketball because guys
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: are older and sticking around m It's because they can
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: make money, and good for them. They should make money
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: in basketball and in football. Those are probably the only
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: sports they should make money because they're the only revenue
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: generating sports. Sorry women's basketball, sorry hockey, baseball, et cetera.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: But they should make their money. I think John along
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: the way, but there should be some sort of parameters,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: and I think we're still years away from seeing those.
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't know who's in charge, and it's a problem.
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: But you know, if you are complaining about college basketball,
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: the baby and look at Michigan's roster. You know lindenborg
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: Is was their best player. He's twenty three. I mean,
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: he's in a class of guys that in the league,
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: like Jonathan Kminga now with the Atlanta Hawks, has been
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: around forever, like he was in the same class as him.
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: There's a number of guys in the league right now. Yeah,
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: he's twenty three. He was at Arizona Western for like
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: three years, then UAB, then Michigan. So, I mean the
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: reality is is that when you've got kids, you know,
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: a lot of their kids were you know, twenty two
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: to twenty three years old.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Arizona Western. By the way, that's a that's a that's
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: a fun place. We have a a friend guy who
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: played high school basketball. My kid played at Arizona Western.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: That's like, that's like, that's like a guy, that's what's
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: that you there? Ilujah man, that's happened. Get you, I
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: got you, I got you, I got no. I was
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: gonna say, Arizona Western, that's like a that's like a
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: country club down that's the greatest place to go if
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: you if you don't have another place to go. The
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: John lud joining us Uh, Okay, we'll get him back.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: All we dropped off. Okay, that's fine. Well that's that's
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: probably our fault, not his. But I'm still gonna blame.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Him for Yeah, let's just blame it on him.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent of one hundred percent of blame it
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: on him. I gotta ask him about It's a crazy
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: story that came out of the Bay Area. I got
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: to ask about his his two stations that he worked
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: with down there were a few. Is he back with us?
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Do you hear that?
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I don't know what happened.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me ask you this. I love myself a
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: little bit of pettiness in the world of sports radio.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Did I see Did I see this right now? People
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: don't know you worked at both sports stations in the
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Bay Area? Did I see one station? Yeah? The one
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: station wrote and had an AI write a story on
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: their website for the Sharks, and the other station guy
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: just went off and lambased to them. Is that right?
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah? So so the game I started there in like
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: twenty ten, I think they started there and it was
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: kind of a little brother station. And then and then
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: the other ones came there, which is a big blowtords.
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: So I guess that the first one that I mentioned,
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: they were they just do AI. So they're just doing
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: a bunch of AI stuff, which is like right now,
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: it happens all the time, but they did it in
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: hockey and it's kind of like, you know, you guys
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: are big into hockey now and really the Bay Area
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: just isn't as much celebrating. He's definitely brought it back.
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: But they got just doing a bunch of you know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: AI stuff for their for their hockey coverage, and one
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: of the and it was I can't remember exactly what
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: it was, but it was blatant. I mean it was
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: really blatant. And then the other guy from the afternoon
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: Drive show that he just started, he just went off
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: on them like constantly, and finally they changed it. But yeah,
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: they were basically just all their content was just AI
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: or just you know, the guys that were doing their website,
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: they just they were like and so they were throwing
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: a bunch of AI stuff up there, and finally it
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: had got on and people were like, what is this
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: like just a ton of inaccuracies until the other guys
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: are just going off on them, making fun of them.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: We we we have a thing now, our signature and
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: our emails is supposed to what's it supposed to say,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Jess guaranteed human, guaranteed human.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you hear the heart beating everything.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: iHeartMedia garrant guaranteed human. Yeah, because people want to make
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: sure it's you and not just some AI thing. Like
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: it's nowt to do that.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: How about that that we have to do that? Now
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: that we they we actually have to do that. Now
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: that's amazing.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Well, when when will AI just take our jobs?
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Can you can you do like a fake job our jobs?
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: You think a robot can could provide this kind of
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: high level entertainment.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: No, it's a good point.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: That's not possible.
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no way. They don't have a personality like this.
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: They don't have insight like this.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe you know, come on, maybe maybe maybe maybe Softy
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: could an AI.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Soft imagine I would take down the world.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: An AI Softy Can you imagine that? Hey, pal?
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the end of us.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: That's the end of civilization as we know it.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: Man, Yes, that's a replication of that personality.
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, put that in the AI.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: You know, a pal and you know a bunch of
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: husky hawks stuff, and you know, like.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: That have to do that, And you're like, AI husky
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Hawks wouldn't be too bad. So yeah, so hey, misery
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: loves Company. I see your baseball team is not very
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: good the Giants. What's going on down there? A college
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: coach and he's not good or what?
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: I know this? Yeah, I know this is crazy and
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: I don't think everybody's ever done this, but uh but
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: they so they again like they're I'm trying to think about.
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: It would almost be like the version of like each
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: row if each Row became the general Ramaser, Right, well,
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: that's buster posed you with the Giants, like your best player,
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: right yeah, one of your best players of all time
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: comes in, he's the GM. Everbody's applotting. I was at
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: the press conference. Everybody loves the guy, and then he
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: does something unconventional like this, which is really San Francisco.
• 54:19
  Speaker 5: I can hire a guy from college, and I was
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: down at spring training for a couple of weeks. Guy
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: doesn't have a clue. I mean college football that the
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: NFL doesn't really work a lot of times. College basketball
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: guy to the n to the NBA doesn't work very much.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: I mean the egos and all the things. But I
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: mean there's not only is it just the players are
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: dealing with, but it's just the game is totally different.
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: You know, you're not You're not in some park with
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: five thousand people. Man, it's big, big time, and he's
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: made mistake after mistake, and he keeps referencing Knoxville and Tennessee,
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: and it's hey, you look, hey, Toto, you're not in
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: Kansas anymore. Man, You're in the lease. We got, we gotta.
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: We have a third deck on this stadium. You didn't
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: even have a second deck at Tennessee. I don't care
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: if you wanted college baseball World Series with a aluminum bats, Like,
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: what are you doing? So yeah, I don't know how
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: to go. But it's it's ugly. The starts ugly. Man.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Well because I bring that up because there's people here
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: already pissed off at Dan Wilson, the Mariner's manager, who's
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: he's yeah, I mean, I don't want to say, is
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: equivalent of Buster Posey because Posey, last I checked, has
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: a World Series ring. Correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit different, but still like yeah, it's like
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson is a manager. I don't know how much
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: you know. Dan Wilson doesn't. He gets criticized Andrews for
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: what mostly is the way he handles full pen decisions, right, which,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, that's about eighty five percent of
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: what a manager doesn't today's big league baseball, right.
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, try to keep the clubhouse together a little bit,
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: you know, but hiring him.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: But a baseball like a baseball coach, head coach in
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: college baseball where you playday Friday, Saturday, Sunday and maybe
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: a squeeze a Tuesday game in there. And you're like,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: it's a little different than playing every day and managing
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: a bitching staff.
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: I would think, so, yeah, it's not even like you know,
• 55:56
  Speaker 5: college football, college, But I mean that's different, but it's
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: not as bad. Absolutely different is this? I mean, this
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: is not even the same thing. And this, I mean,
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: this guy, it's bad.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: By the way.
• 56:05
  Speaker 5: Look, I'm not following the Mariners like you guys are
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: following the Mariners, but I always crack up when they, oh,
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: you know, it's his bullpen management. Look, players play coaches, coach.
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: I'm sure Dan Wilson's looking at the numbers. Everybody looks
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: at the numbers. It's an analytical game that everybody plays,
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: no matter how old school that you are. Players don't perform,
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: but for some reason, fans don't like to complain. You know,
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: they got a jersey of that player, so they don't
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: want to look to me. Look, a manager does a
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: certain things to a certain extent, or a coach does
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: things to a certain extent, but players playing coaches coach.
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: If the Mariners are struggling and people are mad at
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: Dan Wilson because of his bullpen management, then the then
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: the pitcher's got a pitch better.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: I think the one I think there was was, first
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: of all, I like Dan Wilson, so it's gonna take
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: a lot for me to kill Dan Wilson, Like I
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: really like the guy. And and I I think what
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: you just said is true. We were just talking about
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: that with our buddy Joe in the last hour. Most
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: of what a manager does now is based on the
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: little card he has, because it's okay.
• 56:56
  Speaker 5: Telling you you can hate Dan Wilson all you want.
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: The front office is telling him what to do.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: I think he made I think the one that we
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: would all question, and was it Game seven?
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: Was it?
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Bizaro?
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: Was that?
• 57:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: I think it was Ian?
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you? Yeah, I mean yeah, that was the one.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: There was one, and it happened to be in a
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Game seven of the alcah.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: For the chance the marriage go to the World Series
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: the first time in franchise history.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, wait, help me out. They haven't ever been.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: Nope, never been.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that probably would have been it. But listen,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: that's that's besides.
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: I can see that one. I mean, every every team
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: has that, Like people are gonna know this something. I'll
• 57:27
  Speaker 5: give you a quick example. The Giants throw on the
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: World Series in two thousand and two and Dusty Baker
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: took the ball from russ Or Tees and put in
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: their closer in like the eighth inning, and he blew
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: the whole thing. And everybody complains that, you know, Dusty
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: took out Russertees, but everybody was gonna that's what he
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: had to do. Like, you know, if the closer would
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: have would have pitched better, wouldn't be so anybody.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: Left didn't put closer when he should have. Damn that
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: was that was that was right.
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: But that's what I'm saying is like everybody does that,
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: Like everybody has a moment in their history of their team,
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: probably a handful of them that you know, you just
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: but that gets brought up all the time. And that
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: was like twenty five years ago, and and now with
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: you know, inter League Baseball, Like every time the Angels
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: played the Giants, somebody brings that up and it's like, okay,
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: we get it.
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: Even you guys have won three World Series since then, Yeah,
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: they still complain.
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: You know what, you know this, You guys know those
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: two And this happens with athletes. You could say, God,
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: remember those three World Series? You one and then they'll say, oh,
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: but that one we lost. I mean that's just that's
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: how they are, man, That's how teams are fans they do.
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: They complained about the one. Like somebody last night after
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: the game, what are the announcers was the dumbest thing
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: I ever heard? One of the announcers said, now the
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: Fab five can rest easy. Michigan won the championship. It's
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: like they didn't Chris Chris Weber. That was in Seattle, right,
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: I mean Chris Weber still called the time out like
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: Chris Weber doesn't get winning.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Last night, Yeah, I love the redemption stuff. I love
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: people said that. People said that this year, like, oh well, yeah,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots this year in the Super Bowl.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: So I mean by now they want to in a row.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: That does team that doesn't well and it does not
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: cure the ills. Uh, it does not erase the It
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: does not erase the interception of the goal line. It
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: does not change that. It does not. In fact, if anything,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: it makes it worse. You could have beat the Patriots
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: twice and have three Super Bowls, right, it does there's
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: no Yeah, you're right, Chris Weber is not going you
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: know what. Thank god, thank god they won. Man, I
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: love you, Dusty made. No one's ever gonna ever bring
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: up the fact that I call the time out again,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: even though we didn't have any No one will ever
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: bring that up again.
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: No one's ever going to replay. No one's ever gonna
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: replay Russ walking off the field, you know, after throwing
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: that interception and kind of looking back like did that
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: just happen? Yeah, the Richard that it doesn't matter. You
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: could beat those guys five super Bowls in a row.
• 59:50
  Speaker 5: It's you know, you still should have that one.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: The Russ. The Russ face was Yeah, the Russ face
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: was actually classic, walking off like what.
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: He looked back?
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Did I just do that? Oh my? Just going downhill
• 1:00:04

• 1:03:04
  Speaker 10: So Hey, I in Seattle sports guy here, checking in
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 10: with your Seattle sports In the battle.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 11: For the most disappointing team in Seattle, the Kracking.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: And Mariners ended in tie last night.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 10: That's the Kraken had two goals and the Mariners had
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 10: two hits. Also, your beloved Mariners changed the criteria for
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 10: getting a bobblehead. If you're a new pre agent signing that,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 10: you have to have one hit on the season to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 10: get a bobblehead. Needless to say, Rob Refsnyder will not
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 10: be participating, thanks Ian.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: Indigestion.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Oh save save the first one. We'll play that in
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: the bunk battle next segment. It was a pretty good
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: bah is ref Snyder? Has he still not had a hit? Correct?
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Isn't it He only hits pictures from one side right?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: Correct? He has one job that's to hit left handed pitching,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: and he is, needless to say, not done that.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: So far year. Because you know the thing about the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Refschneider signing, Yah, didn't we spend time talking about how
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: he at least they didn't sign Tommy Listella this year.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: I put it as the equivalent of a J. Pollock,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: You remember that signing?
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, all of those just I had this bad shield
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: go down my spine. What about what about Zebi the catcher, zeb.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: The guy we traded for Gino?
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Sebbi Zavala.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: God Wrest signings in Seattle sports history or or or
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: trades or acquisitions. Yeah, they're not alone. There's there's something.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was a long list. We can go Seahawks.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: They've had their fair share. I heard of Rashad Penny
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: reference earlier. I wouldn't put Raschad Penny in that. He
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: was good when he was healthy. I would put Christian
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Michael in that. I just saw a thing on Instagram, Yes, Rachel, Yeah,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Escort was just one of the worst picks ever, well

  Speaker 1: every Green Speedway is not a big sponsor for us,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: but if they are, understand you're a sporting venue, so
• 1:05:30

• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: I do think that there's not a Seahawks though right
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: there was he was, And I think that that is
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: actually a draw.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: For some people. Text four nine four to five one
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: on this co text line we were talking about the
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: transporportal earlier. He says, this is a high school sports
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: problem too. It's a crime and a croc. You had
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: a kid who never set foot in Washington before this
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: year's steal a title from our kids that grew up here.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: It's so gross. Referring to the kid at Rainier Beach,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: right Stokes. I don't gamble on sports to play fantasy.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I still watch as much more football anyway, and I'll
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: have multiple TV's with baseball all the same time at
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: the same time. Plus I watched as much hockey as possible.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 5: Good. I love you for love that.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: You're also very much in the minority. You're actually just
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: a diehard sports fan, which is awesome, which is great,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: and you you don't need all the other stuff. A
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: lot of people need the other stuff. Yeah, I mean
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: a reason to watch two of six. I'm not mad, Michigan.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: Carry me to first place, my work bracket. I'm invested,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: good sir, Yes, you are exactly that, probably.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: Fifty simply Seattle baby, let's go bro.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Where was this from? This is iHeart.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: They sent a link to everyone that one.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: You did get it.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: You just don't look at emails and earned from the
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: kJ R staff, both of you. Hey, I am that
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: went to you.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: I just didn't do that one because I was already
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: in two other pools.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're probably right, and I think I am guilty
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: Oh Ian, this is a good one from the two
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: o six. You did not divulge on the polue. We
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: didn't have enough time in the Daily Palace.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: You just mentioned it in the headlines.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: But that this person is asking about it because you
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: tease it.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: I thought. Was the crack and eulogy as Jess went
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: out of the sideline reporter and halftime chaser.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's out. Jess is out. John Harle already fired
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: her out of the new GM or the new athletic tractor.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: Ri I p me.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: They're going to replace you with somebody doing a cooking
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: show on a they used to be on ESPN, or
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: Yogi Roth one of their other two.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: Favorites guaranteed human folks.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: No, that was not the New Years, and I am
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: on a year to year and I always am a
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: privileged in the fourteen seasons I've gotten to cover them.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: I heard that. I heard Brank's going to push the
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: push you out.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: That's what I It would be the one. It would
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: have been Chazzing now before him. But now that he's
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: a wolf pack whatever.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: They're going to have Jamie from the Food Network come
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: in because apparently she's a star.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: Ian from the two, five three. I know Ron Francis
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: is not in charge of player acquisition now, but he
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: was the one in charge for four years prior and
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: we have not had one player that would be considered
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: in the top ten to fifteen percent of the league.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: So frustrating.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I take well, good point. Yeah, My point was
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: the story that Nick did for The Animal State's Beckcrash
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Good made it sound like this year's roster was all
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: constructed by Ron.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: It was not as pots and the opposite of this
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: to us six. So Ron Francis had nothing to do
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: with anything, and as yet he got a promotion after
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he got they need to address this,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna leave it at that. As an organization,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: he addressed this, but just to like let the fans
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: know who's doing it's not exactly Yeah, it's not Depoto
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: in Hollander. Let's just say that. And I think that's
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: what people draw to because which yeah, which makes sense
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: because the titles are the same. Yes, the title that
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: Ron has the same as Topoto and this Hollander and
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: bots are the same. It makes sense, right, Yep, it
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: makes sense. That's the crack and eulogy. We haven't given it.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: We haven't quite given that yet. It's there, Jason Faraitek
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: trade one of the worst ones of all time, that's true. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Jess is not out. She's gonna
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: still be chasing. I bet Kirby, you will be someone
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: you don't have to chase.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: I feel he came to the Bowl game and he
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: wasn't even officially coaching team.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and unlike the guy last year, he might actually
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: look at you when you're doing halftime.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: You know what, though, there's something about that thousand miles
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: stare that I respected when it came to Jimmy.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: You are sunshine and rainbows. My god left your team.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: He's left your team. You can you can be upset,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: just okay.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: I would tell you if that bothered me, I would
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: tell you there was something about it where I'm like.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: He's all ball man, I love it got somehow we
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: brought up like what were we How do we get
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: into like the worst acquisitions ever? Because now I'm getting
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: Jamal Adams. You mentioned Kris Michael, Jim Jim mcelvain, and
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: we're getting all these coming in here right now. God,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, that was a good one. Jim mcklevain, Yeah,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: that was that was not good. Uh see someone's max
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: we bashed for us. I didn't bash him. I just said, hey,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: he had that look on his face.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: We walked out the field and was like what I
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: mean at that point it wasn't And I don't think
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: he got nearly as bashed as Richard Turman did during
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: that game.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: Like you know Benoy, Benjamin's sonics. Hey, I had a
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: game or two. He was fine, big fella the clips.
• 1:10:47
