• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the finish line of the NFL Draft, and this is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: where we sprint. We sprint our asses off until Thursday,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Friday and Saturday, and so we certainly are going to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: ramp up our draft coverage here starting today. Feels like
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we've been a little light on the NFL Draft as
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a show.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like we've barely talked about it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, yes, we've launched a holiday around the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: NFL Draft and we've counted down every second until this Thursday.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: But this is the week where we really turned the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: heat upk you. Yeah, we had a lot of experts
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: today we'll tell you about that with what's on tap
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: here in a moment. How did your weekend go though,
• 2:50

• 2:55
  Speaker 3: been better?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Was it great?
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Hung out in Snahomish literally all weekend?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: We were at all fields. We got there at the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: worst places to be wor Yeah, it's I will agree
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: it was. It was great.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: We got there at nine thirty on Saturday, got home
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: at five on Saturday, got there at Yeah, job like
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: it wasn't Dolly Parton that said that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I don't remember who that was.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: She worked nine to five. What a way to make
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a living? Yes, barely getting by. There's no taking and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: no giving.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: That's that is correct?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah she did say that. And then yeah, got
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: there at eleven yesterday and got home at six.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, so that was your That was your week, literally
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the whole weekend. It looks like I got a little
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: sun or a lot of sun. Okay, Okay, people can
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: pick up on that on YouTube. I'm looking through a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: well glass.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I have muted my microphone for right now. Oh but
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I'll maybe put turn it back on because I also
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: forgot to put on makeup this morning. It's extra scary
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: for everyone.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Well I haven't put it on.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but you're used to not. Oh, somebody turned
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: my microphone on. Hey, YouTube, people, get out of there.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Are they capable of doing that?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Someone went into YouTube and thought that I just don't
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: know how to unmute my own microphone.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I'm aware how to do it. People.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Oh geez, come on, okay, all right, yeah, yeah, respect
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Ashley's privacy.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if I want to be on YouTube, I'll turn
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: it on.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: She didn't want to be stared at by millions, then
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: she'll not do that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, you can just point and laugh at me. There
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you go. In my physical structure, I didn't cut my hair.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I said I was going to.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Do it very nice today.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Wow, I cut my hair. I mean, I'm gonna have
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to do that more often. I don't do it a lot.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Not a huge fan shaving and whatnot. Can I still
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: do Still didn't shave. I just trim all the way
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: down to the skin. But yeah, I'll be doing that
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: more frequently. I can't look like some you know, long
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: shortman every single time that I'm on the old YouTube.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I feel like seasonally you could like in the winter,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: it's okay to look like yeah, maybe.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe, But anyway, I got this fresh faith, I'm gonna
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: show it off. So welcome. It is a great Monday
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: morning here, and yes, we are going to pick up
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the NFL Draft talk today as we get ready for
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Thursday and our coverage right here on Sports Radio ninety
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM. But we'll start with the Mariners,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: who hopefully are on track. I'm put in our show
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: text yesterday and I even put it on the rundown
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: just this morning as I was putting that together minutes ago.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: M's back on track, question mark. I don't think they've
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: been on track yet this season, So take back out
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of there and just are the ms on track? I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: did the take Tacoma Rainiers game on Friday night, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: so I was monitoring certainly the Mariners game in between
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: every inning, so I knew what was going on. But
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: until you know, I get in the car on the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: drive home and listen to the last out and the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: somber post game of a shutout at the hands of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: not Jacob de Grom because he only lasted four innings,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: but a bullpen that's not very good with the Texas Rangers,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and yet we've not hit them so far this year.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Five to nothing Friday night felt really really rough, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden on Saturday, you win seven
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to three against Nate Valdi, is a pretty good pitcher.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And then Mackenzie Gore, who's dominated the Mariners every time
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: he's faced them throughout his career. You get to him
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: as well with three home runs and win it five
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to two. So suddenly a couple of wins back to back,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and the type of wins that you know you're hoping
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: for where it wasn't two to one or one to nothing,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: or you got by because of a fluke blooper or
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: something like that. No, we hit, We pitched and played
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit of defense on Saturday and Sunday and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: strung together a couple of victories. So it's not back
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: on track. Maybe the Mariners did get on track. We'll see.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I think that's a fair assessment or a good way
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to put it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, over the weekend, hopefully.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: So I hope so.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: And I saw that that's what you'd put in the rundown,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: and I thought to myself too, like, I hope this
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: is the case, because we have talked a couple times
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: about just the individual the big three, right and when
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: they've had a good game, has that been their moment
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: to get back on track or has that been their
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: moment to get you know, things going in the right direction.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: And it seems like maybe it's working more for Julio
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: than Cal and still not great.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he seems to be more He's running into
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: some bad luck too. He seems to have hit the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: ball more consistently hard by far than either Cal or Josh.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: But then when I saw so, then I was I
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: was real angry on Friday. Then I was real pleasantly
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: surprised on Saturday. Then yesterday when the lineup comes out
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: and I see Rob Refsneider's leading off and Josh Naylor's
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: not in the lineup, and I'm thinking to myself, Oh,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: what are what is happening? When ref Schneider hits his
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: lead off home run, I'm like, oh, yeah, that work?
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Okay? So I liked your is are the Mariners on track?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I like that? I hope?
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: So?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, and ref Schneider is a great case study here.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Once again, the Mariners have invested a little bit, not
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: a huge salary by comparison huge compared does but aug
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: not a huge investment baseball wise, and Rob Refsneider, but
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: they really do believe in the platoon, and so do
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of teams. The Dodgers believe in it more
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: so than anybody. The Tampa Bay Rays, who've been the
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: classic overachiever of the last quarter century have I mean,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: they're slaves to the platoon. So I don't I don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: mind the theory at all. I know a lot of
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: people hate it, and yes, you want to all start
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: every single position, but when you're operating under a budget
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: compared to a lot of different teams, this is an
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: area that they believe that we can create sort of
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: an all Star out of two different guys because we
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: can get the guy that can crush righties and we
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: can get a guy that can crush lefties, and we
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: combine the two of them, then we have kind of
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: an all Star caliber right fielder, even though neither of
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: those individuals are All Stars. So the theory is sound.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's been around for almost a century, for
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: goodness sake, and some of the best teams in baseball
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: have been doing it, even more so than what the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Mariners and yet even though the theory I think is sound,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: and even though the signings that they've made look on
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: paper is sound, it just hasn't worked out. Aj Pollock
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: was a disaster. Mitch Garver's been a disaster. And now
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the latest and the long line of guys that we're
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: trying this with is Rob Refschneider. And he finally got
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: not only his first home run, his first hit. Yeah,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I mean April nineteenth. The season started on March twenty
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: sixth ye and he got his first hit as a
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Mariner and so hopefully he's off the Schneid. It was
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: his only hit of the day, but hopefully he's off
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the Schneider. And you saw the relief and then afterwards
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: you heard his comments, I mean immediately after, because they
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: used him in the postgame interview on the field with
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Brian Roland Smith and you know, got a choppy interview Ryan,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: but ref Schneider's answers it's as if because ref Schneider
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: really wasn't asked this pointedly, he sort of you could
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: tell it was on his mind and he kind of
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: wanted to apologize for the fans, and he admitted this
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: has been really hard on me and I went to
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't have to admit this. I went
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: to our mental coach to help me through this lately,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and my wife to help me through. They're having a baby,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and ref Schneider sitting there at her side in my
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Brian holding her hand and he's not like helping her breathe,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: she's helping him breathe. It'll be all right, you'll get
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a hit, you know how to do.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: This, but he usually it takes her mind off what
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: is actually happening.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: He used the entire time. I mean he used every
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: single day of that because that paternity leave can be
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: up to one to three days, so you can go
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: have the baby and come right back if you'd like.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, we saw Josh Naylor do it in the playoffs,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: remember oh yeah, nervous eye was on baby watch. Yeah,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: and and he squeezed it in like between innings, you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: basically yeah somehow. And so you can take you can
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: take one day, you can take three days for the leave.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And he took the three days. And I'm not sure
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it was all just to make sure the wife was okay.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I think the wife wanted to make sure Rob was okay.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And so even though it's early, and I'm in it's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: early guy, and Bucky's in it's early guy, and I
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: think we've turned you at two and it's early person.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I definitely think it's early.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even though it's early, when you're struggling that much
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and and it's early in the season, it does get
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: to you and I And as cool and confident as
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor seems to be, he's needed a couple of
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: days off already. Cal's still in a funk who is
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: hitting the ball hard err but still can't find a hole,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you know, still seems to be hitting it at guys.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: So that batting average when he walks to the plate
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: still screaming at him two oh nine. That slugging percentage
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: at two seventy nine, I mean, those are gross numbers
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: for a guy that hits third in your lineup for
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: a lineup that's supposed to challenge for the World Series
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: this year. So yeah, they'll all tell you it's early.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's early. Everybody in baseball will tell
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you it's early. But that doesn't mean that if you're
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: twenty games into a year in which you have high
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: expectations and you can't hit your weight, or in ref
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Snyder's case, I had to stare at zero zero zero
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: for an entire month on the on the scoreboard, you
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: screaming at me, staring a hole through me. I had
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: a zero batting average. It does work on you, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's way it's weighed on a lot of
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the players in the lineup, and that's why they keep
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: doing this thing with the ball where they shake the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: ball now when they get on base, Well, that's a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: symbol for people do that jokingly when they get their
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: first hit in a while. It's a symbol because it's
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the symbol for I got my first hit in the majors,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: So you say, I want the ball. So that's what
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: that If anybody was wondering, that's what that little shake
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: of the hand was. And then a lot of guys
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: now use it sarcastically if they've been in a slump,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: get the ball. I want to keep that when I'm
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: out of my slump. Okay, they've been in such a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: slump as a team, they've been so frustrated by their beginning.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Everybody does it on every hit just to try to
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: loosen things up a little bit. And it still hasn't
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: really worked.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd see cal do it after every rounding the
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: bases or every hit.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I thought that it was something else. So that makes
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: a lot more sense.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, I thought you knew that. That's what
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: they're doing. They're saying, get me the ball. It's a
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: sarcastic gesture about how much of a slump and I
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: want to save that one got It's like getting my
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: first hit all over again. And so that's why they're
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: doing that. And so they're knowing it. They know it,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: they feel it, they're trying to make light of it,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: they're trying to do everything they possibly can to get
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: out of it. And yet through Friday they were deep
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: in the throes of that mentality. And Rob Refschneider's the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: poster boy for Struggling magazine, and yet he gins up
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: getting his first home run and it's as if it
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: lightened everything up yesterday. But twelve runs in the last
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: two days, starting pitching did the rest, and now you
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: got two games. I mean, it's not a winning streak,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: but at least it's the foundation for one. And so
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: hopefully they are on track because because it's been a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: rough beginning and they know it as much as we
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: know it.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, And I just think that, to use
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: a geno term, the vibes on Saturday and Sunday, they
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: seemed lifted, they seemed higher, they seemed in a good place.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: And so I think if and it all started with that,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: especially yesterday with that Ref Snyder home run. It almost
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: felt like him getting that and taking that off of
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: his shoulders just lightened it for everybody.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, and that does happen. I mean, we
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: don't put enough emphasis as sports talk analysis analysts, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: this goes for the players as well, because they know
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: how difficult it is. They don't talk about the psychology
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: of it nearly as much as they should. It's always
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: about approach and this and that and this and that,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and yet they need to admit how difficult it is
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: on you when you can't get going.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he did talk about it in his post
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: game yesterday, which was nice to hear.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, he was beyond
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: talking about it. I mean, he revealed quite a bit
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: about his struggles since becoming a Mariner, having to tap
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: into a mental coach to try to help him out
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: of this. So hopefully he's going hopefully the team's going
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: good signed certainly the last couple of days. Man, you
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: score five runs, you score five runs a game, you're
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: on win one hundred and ten games with this pitching staff.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, just scratch out a little bit,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: get your walks, hit your home runs. I don't think
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: they're ever going to be a team that puts together
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of bunched up hits. Just doesn't seem And
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to come through a lot
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: in the clutch. I mean, how many times do we
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: just fail with bases loaded, nobody out, or bases loaded
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and won out. I mean that's what was going on
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: on Friday. You let Jacob de Gram off the hook,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: worked him. I mean he had to leave the game
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: after four innings because you worked him so already his
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: pitch count went up, and yet you didn't put any
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: runs on the board. But they are a team that's
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: going to try to work walks and hit home runs.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: That's going to be their secret offensively, and then they're
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: going to outpitch everyone. That's the goal. That's that's what
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: they're after this year. It was also great to see
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Andres Munos get back on track. That's back to back
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: days with a save and back to back days looking
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: like him. So we had one outlier inning that I
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: think was the culmination of a lot of his struggles
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: so far this season. But whatever happened to him, it
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: seemed to snap him back into form. We will need him,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: We will ride him this entire season. All right, we
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: are underway here on this Monday morning. Let's find out
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: what's on tap?
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: What's on tap?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: What's on tap? Mariners five Rangers to Ryan Healy is
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: expected to join us today at nine o'clock. Made his
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: debut as a television analyst there in the booth with
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Aaron All weekend Long. Sounded great.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he did sound great, and I saw a lot
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: of positive feedback for him on X as well.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: He'll be in studio today.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: He is coming in.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: He is coming in.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: We've not met him yet.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're sending an uber for him.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Is that right. Where's he staying or what? Vicinity?
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Just downtown? Yes, not far?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah, very good. Yeah, Ryan Healey coming
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: in studio.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: In studio, He's gonna be on YouTube.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, nine o'clock we get to get to shake Ryan
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Heey's hand. Finally there you go. All right, Mariner's ten
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: and thirteen on the season. They've taken two out of
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: three from the Texas Rangers. I know people don't want
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to hear this, but all of the hand ringing, all
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: of the tears that were shed, all of the anger,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: all of the nasty tweets, we're a game and a
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: half out of first place. What Yeah, so we could
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: be in first place.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: There's no way we could have by tomorrow night. There's
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: no way we could have overcome.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: It's still ten to thirteen. That's still a gross record.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: It's still not good, but it just goes to show
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: you it's early.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, so gaming ass a lot to go. So
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: they could be a first place team by tomorrow night.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: At the end of tomorrow night, you're saying, we could
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: be none sleeps.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Back A's at Mariners tonight. It'll be Emerson Hancock versus
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: j T gin A kind of not a journeyman because
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: he's always been with the A's but just has had
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a difficult time sticking in the major league. So with
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the way Emerson's pitching, same thing with Emerson, except that
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Emerson's showing this year that he's stuck. Yeah, that he's
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: not just had difficulty in the past sticking in the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: major leagues, but he might be very sticky this year.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: So we seem to have the pitching advantage there. We'll
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: talk more about that in Mariners Morning after here in
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit. But the M's, you know, moving in
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: the right direction, hopefully there. The New York Mets are
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: not They've lost eleven straight games.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Much they're the worst.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: For all of those that just think spending money is
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the key to winning in Major League Baseball.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: If not, it's the second time I've picked them in
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: our fantasy them in our Green Jacket draft.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't pick them last year. I picked them two
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: years ago. Second time i've picked them, and second time
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: they're just hosing me.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I was gonna point this out later, I'll point it
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: out now. I'll be quick about it. Look at these
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: records again. If you don't, if you hate hearing, it's early.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: But my goodness, the Toronto Blue Jays are eight and thirteen. Two,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: they're eight and thirteen. Yeah, the Red Sox are eight
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: and thirteen. Those are two teams that are.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Expected to be very good.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: It was supposed to be playoff teams. And the Blue
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Jays made the World Series last year. The Kansaity Royals,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of people believe, including me, we're gonna win
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the American League Central. They're seven and fifteen. The Astros
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: are eight and fifteen. The Mets are seven and fifteen
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: with all that payroll. The Philadelphia Phillies are eight and thirteen.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: So maybe they're not hosing me as bad as I thought.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Everybody else is.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Well, it just points out how early it is that,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you know, some of the best teams in Major League
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Baseball have worse records than the Mariners, Right, That's the truth.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: NFL Draft Week, we are three sleeps away from Draft Day.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: We will celebrate Draftmas today with Greg Bell every day
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: this week at seven oh five. Well maybe not at
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: seven oh five, but he's going to be on with
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: us every day this week. Yes, we will have hughcon
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Cornelius joining us today at eight o'clock. Hugh Millen will
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: help us break down cornerbacks that could be available to
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks at pick number thirty two. Charles Davis is
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: going to join us today as well. A friend, Charles
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Davis from NFL Network. He'll be with us today at
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: seven thirty. From a national perspective, there was a big
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: trade on Friday. Dexter Lawrence is now a member of
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals. He was traded from the New York
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Giants for the tenth overall pick and the draft, my goodness,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: a top ten pick for an interior defensive lineman. But
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals land Dexter Lawrence and the Giants now
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: have the fifth and the tenth pick in the draft.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: AJ Brown to New England looks like it's all but
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: a done deal, according to Adam Schefter this morning. Schefter's
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: saying that they will wait until June first, when it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: less of a cap hit for the Philadelphia Eagles. But
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles are all but done with a deal
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to the New England Patriots AJ Brown, So that won't
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: involve draft picks this year, but will likely involve draft
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: picks next year. We'll get to some other rumors with
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: stocking stuffers later on this hour. The NBA playoffs scott
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: underway over the weekend. Orlando pulled off the one and
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: only upset in the NBA Playoffs with a victory over
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Detroit yesterday. Meanwhile, everything else was kind of a laugher
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: over the weekend, makes you wonder if the first rounds
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: even necessary. Tonight, three games Toronto at Cleveland, Atlanta at
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: New York, Minnesota at Denver. All home teams are up
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: one to ozh Stanley Cup Playoffs. A lot more up
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and down in the Stanley Cup Playoffs over the weekend,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: but those aren't really viewed as upsets because that's the
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: NHL playoffs. There's always catching baby, that's right. Philadelphia at
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh tonight. Ottawa at Carolina. Minnesota is up one zero
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: on the Stars. They'll play tonight, and Anaheim and Edmonton
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: begin their series tonight. They have yet to play a game.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: So it's also the Boston Marathon today. So Patriots Day
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: in New England coming up next Mariner's Morning After, more
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: on yesterday's win. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Wins are as shakable, that's.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Right, losses sad.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Good morning, Hello listeners, Watchers on YouTube.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: They're watching you. They watched to Shake your ass.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: You're stalking. It's creepy. Ashley Ryan, Chuck Powell with you.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: It's time for Mariner Morning After. Before I get into that,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I did see some breaking news that happened while I
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: was doing the headlines and what's on tap. But I
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: didn't want it to distract me because it's hard to
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: read while you're reading. You're had that experience, Yeah, I
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: try to read something else while you're reading. Yeah, But
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: looks like the forty nine ers have reached a deal
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: with Trent Williams, their left tackle, their one hundred year
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: old left tackle. Yeah, exactly. Kind of wanted that relationship
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to blow up.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was hoping that was the end of it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two year, fifty million dollar extension. So looks like
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: he'll lose for the forty nine ers this year and next.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Bummer for him.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. All right, let's get the Mariners morning after.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: We do this after every Mariners win at six point
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: thirty here on Chuck and back, a highlight, a SoundBite,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a preview of what's going on tonight for the Mariners.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: They did end an ugly losing streak on Saturday with
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: a seven to three win over the Texas Rangers and
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Nate Gavaldi, so an opportunity to make it two in
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: a row with their best picture. Let's face it. Brian
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: wu on the mound, for the Mariners. Well, Brian wu
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: did his job in the first inning, got you through
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: without a run allowed, and so the Mariners wanted to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: draw first blood, and man did they strike early. The
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: most unlikely of heroes stepped up. He was the leadoff hitter.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: It made every Mariner fan grown when they saw the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: starting lineup, and yet Rob Refschneider finally contributed to the cause.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Kinsey Gore. He's pitched exceptionally well in his career. In
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: three starts against Seattle, making his fifth overall start this season,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Refsnyder jumps the first hand, butts jump coming in. Ron
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Refsneider's first hitting of the Mariner.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Leave the yard. Aaron Goldsmith with the call, Mariner's TV
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: leadoff homer for Refsnyder not just his first home run
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: as a Mariner, his first hit as a Mariner. He
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: had been all four to eighteen coming into the game.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: And when you get to play as infrequently as he plays, well,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: that was eighteen at bats get stretched over a long
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: period of time. He went almost a month, three over
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: three weeks having to stare on the big board at
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: a zero zero zero batting average as a Mariner until yesterday,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and even though he only got one hit. The relief
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: that he shared afterwards about how much pressure he felt
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: and how much it had weighed on him. I mean,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: there might even have been a thought Ashley of him
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: when he went away for his paternity leave, like maybe
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I don't even go back. Yeah, but he talked to
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: his wife, talked to the Mariner's mental coach, acknowledged that
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: yesterday after the game, hopefully he's off and running. I'll
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: say this, Boston was really sad when he left because
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: of how good he's been for them, both as a
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: crusher of left handed pitching and also a guy that
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: makes scintillating plays in the outfield. Dudes put together. Dude's
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: a really good athlete. Thirty five years old, keeps great shape,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: keeps in great shape. He has contributed pretty much everywhere
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: he's been for the last few years, and he just
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: hadn't until yesterday for the Mariner.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was really good to see.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: And I was one of those people that when I
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: saw him hitting lead off again, I thought, oh, why
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: are we doing this again? Like at some point, this
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: lefty lefty, righty righty thing, you have to say, maybe
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: it's not working in this situation.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: But he he got that home run, I'm sure it
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: was just a massive weight off his shoulder.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: It lightened it seemed to lighten it for everybody, because
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they all wanted him to get that hit,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: not just for himself but or not just for the team,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: but for him, for him as a as an.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Individual and as an athlete.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: And I just yeah, watching that, I thought, and then
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: hearing him afterwards talk about the struggles that he's had,
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: and you know, that's a lot of things that people
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: don't ever want athletes to talk about because it makes
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: them uncomfortable, I suppose, and fans want to be able
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: to be as rude or as positive as they want
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: to not think about how it affects the athlete, because
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: the athlete should just quote unquote do.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Their job well. I think he was putting the pressure
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: on himself. It's a come through, you know, Mitch Garver.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe he did hear the fans in the previous couple
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: of years. They're not going to abandon this lefty righty
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: platoon thing. They just don't have enough confidence in Raleigh
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: against left handers or can zone against left handers. The
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: difference is where I would argue with him is the
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: pinch hitting situations late in games, when you don't have
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: a confident ref Snyder or a confident Joe, and you're
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: going to replace a hot hitter in Rayley with an
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: ice cold hitter with a bases loaded situation. That's where
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I think they play too much by the book. But yeah,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: they're not going to stop doing the lefty, righty thing.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: That's the way that the team's constructed, and they're certainly
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: not ready to give up on Rob Refsnyder and hopefully
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: he can get on a roll here. The Mariners at
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: three home runs yesterday, JP Crawford did a two run
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: shot Randia rose Arena off the foul pole for a
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: two run homer down the left field line, and he
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: ended up needing that because the Rangers always seemed to
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: make it uncomfortable late in contests. But Brian wu went
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: seven innings, he allowed just four hits. He struck out
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: six batters yesterday, which had been an area he wasn't
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: exactly flourishing and was striking out guys, so it's nice
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: to see that yesterday. And he didn't get into any
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: trouble until the seventh inning when he allowed two runs.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: But he ends up getting the victory. Uh, the Mariners
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: take a five to two. Here's wu afterwards to your buck.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Kicking San Diego doesn't feel good, especially just just haven't
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: played great on the road. So turning the page as
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: quickly as you can, I think, you know, coming home,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: you just gotta you know, have a really a short
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: term memory and you know, get back to controlling what
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: you can control and get kind of angry after this
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: out of web part frustrated you the most if they mean,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: you know, being.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Tackle and you still get.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just the lead off walk number one, hitting jock stupid.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: But it's just the concept of keeping teams down when
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: they're down, you know, not giving them any life when
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: we got a lead and I'm going out for you
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: know whatever it is later in the game, not not
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: letting them have you know, any moment. I'm not letting
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: them breathe in anyway, just keeping our you know, foot
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: on the gas. You give up the two there and
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: then it's like, yeah, bat to the next sitting for
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: Gabe or just more stressful and like there's no need
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: for that if I just do my job. So yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: still beating myself up over it, and it's just little
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: things like that. It's like, if they were to hit
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: their way through that inning, it's it's one thing, but
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: for for me to give them free passes, that's another.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't want to give up any runs.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: No, I like that about him.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he doesn't think that he should if I execute,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: same with George. If I execute, they shouldn't score off
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: of me. And he didn't execute. And there's another aspect
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: of it. He was at what seventy one pitches going
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: into that inning. In his mind, he's like, if I
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: do this the right way, I can go all nine yep.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: And pitchers don't want to be starting pitchers don't want
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: to be taken out of games. And so now he
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: also is like, man, if Dan or anybody else thinks
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: that I get tired at the eighty pitch mark, they're
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: not going to give me the benefit of the doubts
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the next time around. So there are a lot of
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: things that went into it. But he's fantastic. I mean
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: he is. Just if he's not on the top shelf
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: of starting pitchers in Major League Baseball right now, he's
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: on the very next one. He is damn near elite.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: The way he's pitched here in the last two and
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: a half seasons andres Munjos back looking elite. Over the
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: last couple of games, he struck out three batters in
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: a scoreless inning, almost had four because one got away,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: of course, from Mitch Garver that Jake Berger swung at
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: for some reason. But back to back days with saves
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: for Mooney, so it looks like he's back on track.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: He was pumped afterwards. You see him scream he was pumped.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I can understand that.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Mooney's back. Hopefully the Mariners are on track.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: They won back to back games now five to two
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: the final score over the Texas Rangers, and they welcome
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: the A's today. And the A's are going to be
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: a problem this year. I've said the beginning of the year.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I think the A's are finishing second in this division.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I think They're better than both the Rangers and the Astros,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: and so they are a team to reckon with. This
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: is not This is not your father's a's or your
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: older brother's a's. Your father's a's were pretty good.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say it was really the yeah,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: the yeah, older brother that makes more sense.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Six forty first pitch, J T. Gin, we should light
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: him up right hander for the A's. Meanwhile, the Mariners
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: will come with Emerson Hancock, who tries to keep his
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: early season roll going. And so that will be tonight's
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: game one, three game series starting tonight at T Mobile,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: we'll talk more baseball with Ryan Healey coming up today
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: at nine o'clock. Coming up next, stocking Stuffers on Sports
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, NFL Draft Week here
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: on this Monday, we went two whole segments really without
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: talking about the National Football League Draft on draft week.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: For goodness sake, don't worry. We're going to make out
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: for lost time. Greg Bell's going to join us at
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: seven oh five, Charles Davis with a national perspective at
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: seven point thirty, and then Hugh con Cornelius will drop
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: by to drop gold and silver nuggets at eight o'clock.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: He's going to break down the cornerbacks that the Seahawks
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: might take if they were inclined to take a cornerback
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: with their first pick in the drafts. So we'll do
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: that with Hugh today at eight o'clock. But we have
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: stocking stuffers to get through, and man, do we have
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: some rumors some juicy ones from Oer for the weekend.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: We will start with what Adam Schefter reported this morning.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I've already mentioned this that the New England Patriots and
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles have pretty much finished a deal for aj Brown.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: His report is that it won't happen before the draft,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: but that Brown will go to the Patriots for draft picks,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: just not twenty twenty six draft picks. And so that
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: seems like more than just a rumor, that seems like
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: a story that is broken here this morning. J Brown
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: to the New England Patriots. I love I mean, there
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: was just so much smoke and they just kept denying
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: it and kept denying it. Yeah, the story never went away.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I think it makes a lot of sense. I can't
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: believe the Philadelphia Eagles are going to live with a
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: broken locker room again this year, a divided locker room
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: again this year, and the New England Patriots are so
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: overdue for a wide receiver one that this makes a
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: lot of sense to me.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole thing makes absolute sense.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: And it is weird when they sit there and over
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: and over, didn't try to deny things because then when
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: it comes out, it's like, well, see, why do.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: You have to hide it, all right?
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, just don't say anything, just trying to keep
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: the trade value up. Don't want to make it look
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: like that he's available. But yeah, it just seemed pretty
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: obvious to everyone that he was. I don't know, maybe
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: it won't even be draft compensation. Maybe it'll be one
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: of these weird deals where Vrabel gets the Eagles to
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: agree if Sirianni says that those were doctored photos of
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: him and Rassini on the rooftop, that they get aj.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Brown and you know, yeah, maybe you might be onto something.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: If you'll take aj Brown off of our hands financially,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: I'll take the heat for having slept with racines. What
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: do you say?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Deal?
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: All right, how about this one, man, I'm taking full
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: credit for this one if it happens. The big talk
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: is that the Jeremiah Love sweets sweep steak starts at
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: number three, that if the Arizona Cardinals aren't able to
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: trade down, which seems to be their preference at this point,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: that they might be settling in on Notre Dame running
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: back Jeremiah Love with the third overall selection.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I started that rumor, Yeah he did, And you even
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: said I'm starting this.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Right with absolutely no foundation of any knowledge whatsoever. I
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: said that he was going to go number three. Now
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I still think that they might end up moving out
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: of there and trading. But if they do, I think
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: it might be for somebody that's coming up to get
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Jeremile Love at number three. So I thought it was
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: going to be the Washington Commanders, But that's our other
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: rumor this morning. This according to Todd McShay. Mcshae says
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: that he's heard from a great authority that dan quinn
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: is absolutely smitten with Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles and
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: that if anybody thinks that he's getting lower than seven,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: they're out of their mind. That dan Quinn and the
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Commanders might be trading up to get Sonny Styles. But
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: if they hold pat if they get the intel that
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: he might last to them at seven, they'll stay there
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: and then they'll run to the podium. I still don't
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: know if that's a smoke screen or not. I think
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love makes a lot of sense for the Commanders
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: as well. And even though den Quinn's a defensive minded
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: head coach who probably does want to work with Sonny Styles,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: he doesn't make the decision on this. He is a
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: coach on the hot seat. It's going to be the
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: general manager that makes the decision. And I think that
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: the Commanders might be in love with the idea of
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: love and Daniels in.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: The same back to to get well yeah, and then
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: at that point, yeah, you've got two people who could
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: be stars versus the most of the pressure being on Daniels.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I think I love the idea for the Commanders of
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: having love. They become a run first team, makes Daniels
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: more dangerous, both as a passer and a runner. And
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: they really just rough, you know, rifled through the running
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: backs a year ago and never did really settle on anyone.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. But those are some fun, juicy rumors
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: this morning to chew on. We'll chew on them with
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Charles Davis coming up at seven point thirty, Greg Bell
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: at seven oh five Headlines next as well. It's Chucking
