Speaker 2 (01:09):
Mariner's.

Speaker 6 (01:09):
When Mariners win Game number five, it's a three games
to two lead for your Seattle Mariners.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
One went away from the World Series.

Speaker 7 (01:21):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 6 (01:23):
Chuck it Buck with you Baseball's best postgame show, Live
from Jimmy'sawn First. We just came across the street from
T Mobile, and my goodness, was it off the hook
about ten minutes ago when Gino swore as h's a
grand slam to break a late to two tie in

(01:43):
the bottom of the eighth inning, And look, Bucky Jacobson's here.
My name is Chuck Powell. We know we've talked on
our morning show about Ashley. Ryan has suggested, I love
the Double. The Double is wonderful. It's one of the
great memories of a Mariner fans life. But we need
another moment like that. We need another hit that registers

(02:06):
like the Double. What do we think of Gino's Grand Slam?

Speaker 8 (02:09):
It's right there, baby. As a matter of fact, it
might even be bigger. I mean, there was so much
stuff obviously that went into the Double about whether or
not this team was gonna stay here. Yeah, yeah, and
so history. We don't need to erase it. It's not
like we're taking it down.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Just needed another chance.

Speaker 8 (02:23):
I just needed another chapter. And oh my god, we've
waited so long and for Gino for cow first of all,
to tie it up, but then Gino to say, hey, guys,
I just took like a nine day hiatus. I didn't
really know if I wanted to contribute in the postseason.
But I'm here, I'm here, and basis, I'm just put

(02:44):
it in play, right, No, wow, it's basis juice. Just
put it in play. Get a run across the board.
He's like, how about it? Just go opo grand Salami,
baby knee House is smiling down.

Speaker 7 (02:54):
See I'm sitting here.

Speaker 8 (02:55):
That place went berserk, buzzer, and I'm sitting thinking of myself.
Just think about if you could encapsulate the jumping up
and down that is the Pacific Northwest right now, because
the entire Pacific Northwest was jumping up and down after
he took that swing. Unbelievable, unreal.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
I mean, we have there's a rule in press boxes
or sports media that you are not supposed to cheer.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Uh, And there was just no containing it.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
And then all of a.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
Sudden, once you got, you got, and I got done
like rejoicing, and and other people as well.

Speaker 7 (03:28):
We weren't the only ones.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
You look out and you just watch this sea of
Mariner fans just going knots nuts for Gino's Grand Slam
Andres Munnos comes in and closes it out.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
What an incredible game.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
And look, I mean you spent the entire day, the
entire evening wondering are we going to get some offense
generated here? Look, we're gonna be We're gonna have to
sit here and argue over Dan wilson pitching decisions in
the fourth and fifth inning. Is that what we're gonna
boil this down to or are we gonna show up
with some offense at some point?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
And it all came.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
Five consecutive hitters reach base in the bottom of the eighth,
all five of them scored.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Capped off by the Suarez Grand slam.

Speaker 8 (04:14):
Uh yeah, I mean, just the ability to take pitches
when you're supposed to get the walks. If they're not
gonna give you one, fine, but then when they do
give you one, don't miss it. It's it was a
little bit. I mean, I was getting text mess are
we gonna do anything? Are you gonna do anything? I mean,
because we Gosman had what three hits through six linds ye.

(04:34):
I mean, it's like, what, he's not that good. I
mean he's good, he pitched well, I'm gonna give him
his credit where credits?

Speaker 9 (04:40):
Who?

Speaker 8 (04:40):
But you're better than three hits and six innings against
that guy, And yet they just want to make it
as dramatic as possible. Seems like, I mean, I sure
they don't, but I guess to some degree, if when
it gets most pressure packed, if that's when you become
your greatest that's a recipe for success that I like
to see yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah, Well I sat there, Mike Meton is sitting next
to us in the press box. Uh, And I told
hockey Boy, I'm like, uh, man, I do not want
this postgame show to be bickering over pitching decisions that
were made in the game, some of won, some of
which I question and wondered if they were the right moves.
I don't want to sit here and talk about whether
or not WU was ready. I don't want that to

(05:22):
be the postgame show. I want the post game to
show to be about the offense that Rally's late and
wins the game for you. And that's exactly what happened
here this evening. So Game five, Ghost of the Mariners.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
Game five, you were one game away from the World Series.
You Softy closest crying right now. I Softy is crying.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
He'll be over here crying shortly.

Speaker 8 (05:44):
And I don't think he's alone. I think you probably
could find a bunch of people that have tears streaming
down their face simply because the energy that it's taken
to stick around through all the years, and we still
the job is not done. But the swinging, the pendul
them swing of how this game would have felt if
you would have continued to not put good balls in play,

(06:06):
to not have any put together a string of good
at bats and and and doing what they ended up
doing there in the eighth inning, the feeling we would
have now having to head to Toronto, fly across the
country and you gotta win two after being up to
would have been monumentally different compared to what it is now.
I mean there's you know, usually the last couple of

(06:26):
nights we've seen people flooding out of here, frowns on
their faces, understandably so, and instead it's jubilation. People are
standing in the streets. The high fiving that we saw
after we did our little bit of rejoicing in the
press box, and I don't care if it's against the
rules whatever, We're in the auxiliary press box. Okay, that's
that means auxiliary.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
It was a little subdued.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
It was kind of like if you ever seen the
silent fight scene and the other guys, yeah, where.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
You know they're like, well, what are you guys doing?

Speaker 7 (06:54):
Yeah, a little bit of that.

Speaker 8 (06:55):
Yeah yeah. Brad, Adam and I were standing in the
back high five in each other. Yeah. Unbelievable, unbelievable. The way,
and then I did what you did. After I did
my own little celebration, I looked around, and normally something
good happens in a baseball game, and you'll see people
high five those therewith maybe turn around give you know,

(07:16):
Mildred a high five behind him, and John a high
five in front. I saw people running up and down aisles,
stairs high five. I mean, it was the most jubilation
I think I've ever seen in one moment of a
baseball game. It was absolute chaos. This crowd's been alive
even through the balls that they made the last couple
of days, and so they were cheering, they were ready.

(07:38):
It truly feels like you can feel the starvation that
has been the last forty fifty years.

Speaker 7 (07:44):
I mean you can feel what it feels like.

Speaker 8 (07:46):
And all of a sudden, for Gino, for cal for
the team to put together the end of the game
the way that they did, I mean, you just brought
life to a fan base that quite frankly lives and
dies with every single outcome at this point in the season.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
And I'll say to say one quick note, and we
got so many other great things to get to, but
there was a moment apparently where like the ticket sales
were like dropping to pretty low figures and people were
starting to wonder, are we gonna sell out? We're gonna
sell this thing out? Are we gonna sell this thing out?
And you know something that right in the last hour

(08:23):
or two, ticket prices started going right back up, and
sure enough the real fans showed up at the end,
like I believe we're gonna get in there, We're gonna
win Game five, and the place was absolutely packed.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
It was another sellout crowd. The place made noise the
entire game.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
It was a beautiful performance this entire three games, and
two of those games were really tough to be a
fan and to.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Try to stay energetic, but they did the job. And
then today there was so much to cheer for.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
I mean, it was one of those edge of your
seat kind of games for several innings and then all
of a sudden worth at all with the five run
explosion in the bottom of the eight.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
So Mariners do yet at six to two, we are
live at Jimmy's on First.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
I know people are celebrating in the streets, but if
you've got your phones with you, if you happen to
be listening, come on over and join us here at
Jimmy's on First. That's where we're gonna be doing Baseball's
best postgame show, brought to you by Snow Call Me
Casino and Hotel. We're just getting started here. We got
a lot of things to discuss from this victory, and
it is a victory six to two.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Job's not done.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
You still got to win that fourth game. It's always
the toughest one to win, that's what they say, but
this one felt so huge. Fuck you to get this
one out of the way, and now you're just facing Hey,
we got to win one out of two in Toronto,
a place we've already won two games. So it's not
like there's any intimidation factor going to Canada and playing at.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
Rogers, right, And I mean, I mean, it's just the idea,
you know, I'm optimistic. I think that the gamut of
Mariner fans runs from the most pessimistic and maybe some people,
maybe the majority, skew in that direction somewhere on the
timeline of being pessimistic because they've had their heart broken.
They've just had so many times where they've felt like

(10:04):
this maybe is a year and it never ends up
being the year. Has never ended up being the year
up to this point, and yet this team has something different.
There's something about the team.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Now.

Speaker 8 (10:14):
I'm not gonna say that they're flawless, and I'm sure
we'll get into some of their flaws. We've discussed their
flaws at length in the postgame show the last couple
nights and on our radio, our morning show.

Speaker 7 (10:24):
And yet this team doesn't have the same ebb and flow.
They feel what we're feeling.

Speaker 8 (10:30):
They understand how starved the city is for a winner,
and how bad this city and this region wants to
get to the World Series. And yet they don't let
that weight wear them down. If anything, it's like that's
the extra fuel that they need. Now. I wish that
they would try to kind of fuel that fire from
pitch one at bat one all the way through the

(10:51):
twenty seven out that you're gonna get. But for whatever reason,
they'll give them away here, they'll give them away there.
But they did enough, they did enough to basically stay it.
They end up getting the lead, relinquished, the lead, fought back,
Cow's comer ties it up, and then the walks, you're like,
I'll take every I'll let you walk. Seven guys in
a row. I'm not because I wasn't crazy confident that

(11:14):
we were going to get the big knock.

Speaker 7 (11:15):
And then Gino, the guy that has probably been.

Speaker 8 (11:19):
The most disappointing of just about anybody, you just kind
of you kind of love lump into that group of well,
he's gonna do some stuff to help us. He's a
streaky hitter. There's a lot more hit and miss with
him than your your typical guys. But then again, that's
why you have him hitting in the five or six hole,
and you're just like, come on, dude, run into one.

(11:39):
He ran into a couple of them tonight.

Speaker 7 (11:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
Ian Holm run earlier in the game as well, made
a great defensive play early in the contest down the
left field line. We were joking this morning on the
Morning show about, you know, I could use less good
vibes and just get good only. I would like some
good only from Gino. I don't need the vibe. Let's
let the vibes take care of themselves. I think the

(12:02):
fans are gonna bring the vibes. How about we just
good only it, you know, bring your good only Gino?

Speaker 7 (12:08):
And he did.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
He brought good defense tonight.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
He hit the home run early in the contest for
the first run of the game, and then of course
caps it off with the Grand Slam, and so they're
just look, I mean, he's one of the favorite Mariners
of all time, and he came here the second time
around and hit under two hundred in a Mariner uniform
for the regular season.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
He was hitting under two hundred in the postseason until today.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
He got the batting average up to two hundred or
two HiT's tonight both home runs. But it's so great
to see him come alive. If he does get hot,
he can carry a team by himself. And in a way,
and there are some other guys we want to get to,
but in a way, he kind of carried the evening tonight.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
He got the scoring started and he certainly finished the game.

Speaker 8 (12:54):
Yeah. Well, I mean, there's a whole hell of a
lot that goes into it, right, I mean, every pitch
that Bryce Miller threw, every picture that soph he's absolutely gonna.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
Lose his mind.

Speaker 8 (13:10):
Uh, he's trying.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
We gotta get a micro Oh.

Speaker 8 (13:13):
We gotta get a microphone for that guy.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
We gotta get you got Mariner fans mind his shots
over here?

Speaker 8 (13:20):
Yeah, goodness, I mean, it's it's one of the Geno's
kind of that dude. I mean, I don't want to
say that rounds out the lineup, but Gino's the dude
that really creates fear in the length of the lineup.
It's what you got a guy hit sixth that hit
fifty homers. Yeah, but if he's not making contact, if

(13:42):
he's not making good swing decisions, if he's not putting
the ball in play, well that's not a your Your
lineup isn't lengthened at that point. It's actually it's something
that I think the Toronto Blue Jays pitchers felt very
very confident about up until those couple of swings that
he took tonight. Yeah, and those swings changed the absop
momentum of the series. They change the mindset of Seattle

(14:04):
and the Greater Pacific Northwest for that matter. I mean,
I can you imagine what the difference between softy if
the final nine outs of that game go differently than.

Speaker 7 (14:15):
What we just witness.

Speaker 8 (14:16):
I mean, it's it's literally we have to keep somebody
keeping tabs on the guy, make sure he doesn't take
a walk off a bridge somewhere, because how excited everybody
was after the two games in Toronto, to come back
and not just lose, but lose the way you did
the first two games here and find yourself in the
pivotal balance game. The pivotal game that is is game
number five, and to win that thing mind boggling.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
Geno Suarez, the Grand Slam and the bottom of the
eighth for the six to two lead. There's so much
to get into, so much to talk about in this contest,
and I guess we'll just dive right in here in
our first segment because let's talk about that a eighth inning,
because there are a couple of things to note. First

(15:05):
of all, John Schneider absolutely blew it. John Schneider absolutely
blew it. Look, we we won the Detroit series and
we don't know sliding doors. What would have happened had
Trek Schoolbel stayed in the game. Maybe we light him up.
But I really feel like we won that fifteen inning
affair because aj Hinch took Tarrek Scoobel out of the.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Game balls to steal.

Speaker 8 (15:39):
We gotta get this guy. I gotta get this guy.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
So those that who calmed down, no, no, you want
to come on no, you want to come out.

Speaker 8 (15:46):
But did it? No?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Did it? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (15:50):
We do we do yeah on the break, Yeah, let
us have a break. Yeah, thank you very much, appreciate it.
He just spit my mouth, by.

Speaker 8 (15:59):
The way, you just got softy spit.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Oh, oh my god in my mouth.

Speaker 8 (16:07):
Right, it was worth it.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
And it wasn't like a hawk towy and that was
more like a spray Yeah, a spray job.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
He does that a lot when he talks. Yeah, yeah,
he yells.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, but he yelled right into my open houp.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Ah.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
I'm glad that he came and gave you the spit hug.
A spit hug, that's all you. I just enjoy watching
it from afar.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
But I mean, it's if he's not the heartbeat of
the city.

Speaker 8 (16:36):
The guy lives and dies with just about every outcome
that this organization does, just all the sports teams here
in the city, and for them to do it the
way that they just did it, I mean, it's I
don't even know how you put it into words.

Speaker 7 (16:47):
This place, the somewhat moroskinning.

Speaker 8 (16:50):
We didn't feel it after the first loss that we had,
but last night there was definitely a different feeling around here.
I mean, we had people singing O Canada in the
bar here. They were gonna se any of them that, Yeah,
they're probably scurrying around with their tails tucked between their legs.
And just like I said, the game's not over, the
series isn't over, right, But boy, oh boy, does it
feel a whole hell of a lot different than it
would have.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, and I'm gonna get to the eighth inning breakdown
in another segment.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
We're gonna be here for a while. It's a Friday night,
for goodness sake. But look at this place.

Speaker 7 (17:16):
Fill out.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Look at this place, just to fill out right now.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
But I was I will get into this conversation because
we had it right before the game on Ian's show today.
About the mindset. I mean, it's baseball. It's crazy to predict.
I sat here and told you George Kirby was gonna
have a good outing in game number three, and he didn't.
I thought Luis Castillo then the next day, was gonna
have a good outing in game number four. He really

(17:41):
didn't and got removed really early in the process. And
then you end up losing both of those games in
lopsided fashion. And so here you go to game number
five and you're asked to give a prediction. Again, Hey,
I don't know what to tell you. This is a
really hard series and a hard sport to predict. But
I do believe in this team. I do believe they're

(18:01):
gonna win this series. I felt that way all along.
So I'm like, yeah, I believe in Bryce Miller, and
I think he's gonna get the job done here tonight,
which he did, oh by the way, but the offense
finally did show up a little bit later on in
the contest, and so you just can't count this team out.
I mean, they just operate in such a strange fashion.
This is a team that went ten to one after

(18:23):
the Geno Naylor trades that took place, and then.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Decided to go six and fifteen and make us all
feel like.

Speaker 6 (18:30):
They were terrible for a while. Are they really gonna
blow this? This team is like perfectly set up for
the playoffs. The organization stepped up at the trading deadline.
We added who we wanted, We even got a guy
that we already love, and Gino Suarez coming over. Everybody
says we won the trading deadline and we just decided
that life was too good and so we had to

(18:51):
make it hard on ourselves and go six and fifteen.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
I mean, even the Detroit.

Speaker 6 (18:55):
Tiger series, we have a three roun lead in the
fifth thinning, Tiger fans are going home, and somehow Spy
and Bizardo, who've been terrific all season long, flush it away.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
They give it up, and so sure enough it feels
like doom and gloom. We gotta face Schooble, we gotta
go home and face.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Scooble, and Scooble was awesome, right, And yet fifteen innings,
thirty thousand runners stranded on base, and yet you stay
in there, hang in there, and you end up winning
in fifteen innings for goodness sake. And we've had a
couple of moments in this series where people are ready
to flush this team.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
The moment you give up on.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
The Mariners in the Jerry Depoto era, it seems like
when they respond the most, and we saw it here tonight.
They took it all the way to the bottom of
the eighth inning before the bats came alive. And you know,
there's some details to get into, but just the vibe
of that, just the overall feeling of that seems to
be dominating the moment.

Speaker 7 (19:55):
R Yeah, it does for sure.

Speaker 8 (19:56):
I mean it to me, the idea, the idea of
what we thought this team could be all the way
back in spring training, right we heard people say on
the air. We heard people say off of the air
that it was a big deal a couple of years
ago when they broke, when they ended up breaking the drought.
Then they end up missing the playoffs by a game

(20:17):
a couple of years in a row, and it was
almost like this, you think about four years ago, it
was just break the drought.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
Like it was a bunch of youngsters. Cow was still
a pup, Julio was a puff.

Speaker 8 (20:27):
All these guys half these pictures weren't even here yet,
or a couple of these starting pictures, Bryce Miller and
Brian Will weren't even here yet.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
So you just were like, break it.

Speaker 8 (20:35):
And then you're like, okay, let's do that again, and
then go further and you come up short for a
couple of years and you're like, what how Because that
inconsistent baseball you're talking about, They'd rattle off a fourteen
game win streak and then lose fifteen out of twenty
all right on the back end of it. Like, you know,
if you go, if you stop the win streak, that's fine.
Can we just start winning two out of three? You know,

(20:57):
just kind of just win series instead go in the
tank one hundred percent.

Speaker 7 (21:01):
And so they did that.

Speaker 8 (21:02):
But this team, I think had an entirely different goal.
Their goal was no longer just make the playoffs. They
were like, enough's enough of this playing kind of half
assed baseball and maybe skating into a wild card or
maybe missing it by a game, maybe missing it by
a tie breaker. They kind of had a different goal. Well,
they still play inconsistent baseball. They still give you a
heart attack from time to time because you're like, how

(21:25):
how is this? How did that pitching staff during that
streak when they went six and twenty one or six
and fifteen, How in the heck did the entire rotation
get lit up?

Speaker 7 (21:33):
Like it was like one and a half times through.

Speaker 8 (21:35):
Yeah, the dudes that couldn't find that would never find
a barrel, couldn't miss a barrel. For three weeks, You're like,
oh no, and then everybody's like, oh here we go again,
the curse. We're just never we just can't have nice
things around here. Apparently they ended up turning it around,
and not just a little bit. They kind of grabbed
the bull by the horns and said were not only

(21:55):
are we gonna make it, We're gonna end up winning
the division. Yeah, knock the Houston Ast off their pedestal
a little bit, win the number two, get a buye
through the first one, and then yes, you're right in
the middle of that series.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
It looks like you got this thing in hand, just
like it felt like we had this series in hand.

Speaker 8 (22:11):
After winning the first two and you cough one up
and next thing you know, you're gonna have to face
school Goo back at your place, and he's unbelievable. To me,
it's I find myself more often than not given flowers
to those that perform versus taken away from those that
don't perform. Right, So, like tonight, most of the game,

(22:31):
I'm like, Gospin's making some pretty good pitches. He's he's
pitching smart, he has decent stuff. But you need somebody
to capitalize on that splitty like like Cal did the
first time he faced him. He went down and dug
one out. If you know he's just gonna splitter you
to death, take it away. Somebody, please go go get one,
get to the bottom half of that thing. I thought

(22:51):
can Zone was gonna do it before the game, I'm like, and.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
He almost most did.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
And so it's one of those you're so close, you're
so close, and yet Gosman was doing enough to make
it to where we were, even though he gave it
the first home run to Gino. When they come back
and score those runs and now you're behind, Bryce did
enough to keep you in the ballgame.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
Everybody that came after him did enough to keep you
in the ballgame.

Speaker 8 (23:14):
So it's a whole bunch of people that do it,
that keep it to where that's that feel of we're
right there, we can break through at any point in time.
And then you said, it's what five batters in a
row go up there, walks or hits, and then Gino
goes apo to just make pandemonium erupt inside that place.

Speaker 7 (23:31):
And I'm sure all the way across the Pacific Northwest,
all right, Well, they're.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
All packed now, we're packed in here, all our best friends. Yeah,
to celebrate. So let me try one thing here.

Yelling over the crowd. Here a Jimmy's Fucky Jacob to
Chuck Bowel with you and Lucky Lucky who's joining us?
And I don't think he's here to talk about the Huskies.

Speaker 7 (25:57):
Even stop me, mother? Are they playing tomorrow? I have
no idea, guys.

Speaker 10 (26:07):
I gotta tell you, man, Sometimes you go on this
radio station and you know exactly what you want to say,
you know exactly how you want to feel, how you
want to convey the words. I want you to turn around,
look at that crowd behind you. I know that crowd
has not moved since the end of this game. I know,
and I have never ever ever been in that stadium
where it has shaken and rocked like it did when

(26:29):
Gino Suarez pumped that ball in the right field. And
I'm sitting there on the stands thinking, talking to my
wife you know this thing could change.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
With one swing.

Speaker 10 (26:37):
One swing, and Gino swarre has just delivered the biggest
hit in Mariner's baseball history history. No disrespect to Edgar Martinez,
but that was the biggest hit. And I am so
lucky to be able to be able to say I
was there for both of them. I cannot believe this.
I'm going a loss for words. All I want to
do is just soak all this up. I started bawling

(26:57):
in the stands the way that those guys will pay
to work those walks to get on base, and it
felt to me, I don't know if you guys felt
this or not. In the stadium, I was sitting right
behind home play between first and third where the grounds
keepers come out there, right next to the Blue Jays dugout.
You guys were in the here to Hear cafe. It
really felt to me like the energy in the building

(27:18):
changed when Wu knocks Springer out of the game.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
Yep.

Speaker 8 (27:21):
I don't know why. Yeah, I don't know why. It
just did two cents I was saying. I was saying
because when he did the yeah yeah after his double,
I thought to myself, I want somebody to put one
in the middle of his back. If we got a base,
we're gonna unintentional we're gonna pitch around him. Just put
And I don't think he was intentionally trying it, but

(27:42):
there most certainly was something we heard George kerbyc the
other day. They were really comfortable in the box. When
he got rocked, I maybe need to pitch in a
little bit more. Brian wu has been pent up for
the last month, Yes, and he finally gets to come
in there, gives up a run, and now he's going
against George Springer. You think that those guys don't dislike
the Astros, whether they're still.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
An Astro or not.

Speaker 8 (28:02):
You think those guys didn't like the fact that some
of their eras were bloated. Maybe not, they weren't playing
back in twenty seventeen, but because of those cheaters there.
He went in with that fastball, like, I really don't
care if he gets away with if it gets away
from me a little bit, Yeah, that thing ricocheted off
his knee.

Speaker 7 (28:19):
I was like, I am not gonna feel bad one Bill,
and you.

Speaker 10 (28:22):
Felt you felt okay, even though he gave up the
run and he gave up the lead.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
If he could just keep it there. Yep.

Speaker 10 (28:29):
If he could just keep it there, you're gonna have
a shot to win this thing. And good on Brian Will.
I mean, he's a fish out of water, right. He
hasn't pitched it almost a month, for crying out loud,
and he's being asked to.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Do something he's not used to doing.

Speaker 10 (28:41):
And he comes in and almost inadvertently delivers a death
blow with that hit for Springer. And I gotta be
honest with you, I didn't even see what happened. Did
that ball hit him on the foot inside right? And
I'm getting the dugout right, I'm sitting there in the standsticking.
How much freaking time is this guy gonna get to
figure out if he can.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
Player or not.

Speaker 10 (29:00):
I well, let's go right, and then he trusts to
first base that he can't come and he's got to
leave the game.

Speaker 8 (29:05):
So, guys, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I'm not even making this up.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
It was a It was a registered fifty five mile
per hour exit off of his knees.

Speaker 10 (29:13):
Somebody texted me amazing, amazing, but the cow homer, Yes,
I didn't even see it. I told everybody stands up
in front of us, I look to my left, I
couldn't even see it clear.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
The wall as big as Geno's it was.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
I do wonder if the cow homer was even bigger,
because I think it relaxed everybody.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
There wasn't the pressure, and it allowed the beginning. But
that thing hung up. For I've never seen a home
run longer in doubt than that home run.

Speaker 10 (29:43):
For it was like a punch with about a six
second hangtime.

Speaker 6 (29:46):
It was amazing, and I didn't know if it was
going out. I don't think anybody knew what was going out.
I don't even know if the left fielder had it measured,
and it just gets out of there, and I think
it unlocked the whole thing.

Speaker 8 (29:56):
Well.

Speaker 10 (29:56):
I had to look at the reaction of the crowd because,
like I said, where my wife woul you guys know, Gina,
where we were sitting gee gee, we could not see
the ball clear of the wall because everybody stands up
in the sections next to us. So I'm literally like
a field goal, waiting to see the reps put their
arms out of it, and I'm waiting to see the
crowd go bananas. And I think you're exactly right that

(30:18):
when Cal hit that home run, it was like a
new lease on life for this baseball team. And I just, guys,
I gotta tell you, man, it's just the moment that
we've been waiting for Adam Gino Suarez. This is why
you brought him to Seattam for this moment right here,
And it doesn't matter. Whatever he did up until this

(30:39):
moment doesn't matter because he stepped up with the biggest
hit in Mariner history. And now for two days, Bucky
and Chuck, we get to sit around. We gotta go
to bed tonight. We gotta go out tomorrow and have
some fun and wake up on Sunday and go to
bed and pray to God that these guys can pull
us out on Sunday night and bring us to a
World Series. It would have been phenomenal to get this

(30:59):
thing done at home. But getting it done, I don't
give a damn where are they gonna done. Just get
it done and get us there for the first time ever.
So what a moment, What a moment for the city.
This crowd is amazing. They haven't even left. I don't
think these people even know the game is over. It's incredible.
What's happening here at Jimmy's on First.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
They're not gonna be going home anytime soon.

Speaker 8 (31:18):
I mean you you are the one that I think
of most when I think of emotions attached to Seattle sports,
and I mean it's we talked about it pregame, and
I'm like, hey, the fact that you relinquished a two
to zero lead to find yourself a disposition. Yes, if
the roles were reversed, say that we lost both in
Toronto and then won the first two here, we.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Would feel different, even though it wouldn't be any different.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
And yet you still find yourself in a very pivotal
Game five where you don't want to be the team
that is now painted into a corner where you gotta
win to in a row.

Speaker 7 (31:54):
You have to win to in a row. Well, it
becomes that much sweeter when you end up doing it.

Speaker 8 (31:59):
And the way which they did it, Like you said,
Rice Miller going out there doing what he did, phenomenal job.

Speaker 10 (32:05):
Right, Jo, there's question I would not have pulled him
by the way, just so you know, I thought it
was a mistake.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I just tell you. That's how I told Buckey in
our first segment.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
I was loathing having a postgame show about pitching decisions, right,
I was just so desperate for us to have a
show about the rally late and and I didn't know
what was coming, but I just I didn't want this
to come down to whether or not WU was ready
to go or if Miller should have.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Come out of the game.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
That five run rally like saved a lot of things
postgame show, no question.

Speaker 10 (32:38):
Well look, guys, Bucky, I think you said it earlier
today that there's something to be said for having to
experience the ups and downs of the way to getting
there and if they can do this, and we got
a long way to go still, but if they can
do this, what we just went through the last couple
of days is going to make this even sweeter. And
Dick and I were talking today on the air about

(33:00):
the two thousand and five NFC Championship against Carolina versus
the twenty fourteen Packer game.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Fell behind nineteen to seven, hope was lost, it was done.

Speaker 10 (33:10):
My wife and I actually left our seats to leave
the stadium, and the minute we walked out of our seats,
everything started happening. So we watched the game and a
club on a little small black and white TV seats
are twenty feet away. We said the hell with it.
We're gonna watch the game on this little TV because
we can't move. This is gonna make it so much
sweeter knowing that we were scared out of our freaking

(33:32):
minds and we were this close to death, this close
to elimination. If they could find a way to get
this done and then one of the next two games,
it's gonna be the sweetest thing I think any of
us have ever experienced as a baseball fan. And I
know I've said it a couple times already. I cannot
believe this crowd. These people do not want to go home.
Look across the street. They are desperate for this, They

(33:53):
are dying for this. This is fifty years in the making.
This is fathers and sons, mothers and daughters and some uncles, cousins,
brothers and sisters, friends and family. Generations of people have
been waiting for this for a half a century. And
it's time to finish this and bring it home and
get it done this weekend. And Gino Suarez is the

(34:13):
guy who gave us that hope. And I cannot wait
to just soak this up for the next two days.
Lobby brother, I love you guys, all right, amazing, they
did it, amazing.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
We got We're not done. More to do one more boys,
one more? Yeah, all right, I got it.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
We're gonna work tomorrow morning. I can't lose my voice.

Speaker 8 (34:40):
Yeah, what are you doing?

We've been providing postgame coverage throughout the playoffs at numerous locations,
all brought to you by Snowpaalmy Casino and Hotel and
in today we're here live at Jimmy's on Furst, across
the street from the stadium from the left field corner.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
The bar is still packed. The streets are starting to
break up a little.

Speaker 6 (36:29):
Bit after about an hour long celebration after the game,
but the vibe is crazy, and certainly it's a Friday night.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I don't know how long it's.

Speaker 8 (36:38):
Going to go for some of these people. It's not
going away anytime soon. Yeah, they had to clear the
streets and let people drive again. Yeah, because the fans.
The entire road was packed full of people still jumping
around and cheering for the last hour. I mean, the
city's alive. This bar obviously, we're in is absolutely off
the hook. But I just keep thinking about what the

(36:59):
feel is around millions of homes right now. I mean,
I remember watching col hit the home run that broke
the drought, and I went ape, you know what?

Speaker 7 (37:12):
Out on my patio there's heybe.

Speaker 8 (37:16):
W a P I did I threw? I apologize, I littered.
I threw a half full can of Coors Light in
the river, just reactionary. I should swim down and get it.
I'll do that tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
I'm gonna call the cops out.

Speaker 7 (37:28):
Yeah, he probably.

Speaker 8 (37:29):
Should, But I mean, I don't know how many other
cans of of Cours Light were thrown into rivers tonight.
When Gino connected on that ball. I mean it and
it's it started with Cal doing it. And I do
think Softi's onto something. I think there was a vibe
change when I don't. I'm not going to cheer for
somebody to get injured, but being injured and heard are
different things to me. And I don't think that that
George Springer is injured where it's like, oh, he's gonna

(37:51):
have to have surgery or he broke something. I don't
like the dude. I'm okay with him getting joinked in
the knee. But you know how I am about that
whole thing. It just something changed there. There was a
there was a feel in the stadium that changed. And
then Cal being the savior of the year of Cal
for him to now hit the home run to tie
the thing up.

Speaker 7 (38:10):
You said it perfect. I think it relaxed everything.

Speaker 8 (38:13):
And at that point guys just started taking good pitches,
getting those walks and hit my pitch, and then Gino's
up and you just feel like, come on, dude, come on,
you got one homer.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
It was ultimate sack watch. Our friend Nick Allen went
on Twitter and said he was on sack watch.

Speaker 8 (38:27):
He climbed on the wall.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
He climbed on the wall. Now his watches ended with
a grand slam.

Speaker 8 (38:32):
That's about the best sack watch on the planet.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
The greatest sack watch in the history of sack watch.

Speaker 7 (38:36):
It really is.

Speaker 8 (38:37):
And ultimately, you know what I mean, I'll just get
into the nuts and bolt. That's the point of good
fundamental baseball. Do you think Gina was trying to go
opo yard there? That was not what his approach was.
His approach was, I.

Speaker 7 (38:49):
Gotta stay in the zone.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
I got a young ceiling miss. He had two strikes.

Speaker 7 (38:53):
He had two strikes.

Speaker 8 (38:54):
He took a couple of balls before that, and then
he's like, okay, if you give me something to hit,
I gotta get to the bottom half to where I
get this ball in the air. I got us to
get inside the ball, and I got to stay through
the ball long enough to give myself some margin for
air for a sack fly is what he was thinking.

Speaker 7 (39:09):
And then he's got enough power that if you sack fly.

Speaker 8 (39:12):
Oh wait, but I caught it right on the sweet spot,
it goes out of the yard and the entire Pacific
Northwest turns into pandemonium.

Speaker 7 (39:20):
It was absolutely perfect the way that they did it.

Speaker 8 (39:22):
We have all kinds of stuff that we've talked about,
most certainly for the last few days, our last couple
of days, about them not playing fundamental baseball, not having
the proper approach, not doing the little things.

Speaker 7 (39:33):
Hence the reason why you got your button kick for
the last two days.

Speaker 8 (39:37):
Yea, Today, everybody that had an opportunity in this game,
there was far more attention to detail. I mean, you
can just kind of go I could go through every
single bat and say, great take there, Okay, you missed
one there, Good take there, they did a whole heck
of a lot more. The little thing's correct, that's what
kept the game two to one. And then you find

(39:58):
yourself all of a sudden, somehow the tide turns. Next
thing you know, you got runners on and one swing
of the bat. That's the beauty of baseball is one swing,
one pitch can change the course of how you feel.
And Softy, I think was dreading the idea of feeling like,
oh my gosh, we have to go to Canada and
win two when we were talking pregame. He was dreading
that idea, yea, And instead he's gonna have forty eight

(40:20):
hours of feeling like, now all we gotta do is
go win one, win one, Go find a way to
beat him the next time. You go out there and
play nine innings. And I mean, I don't know what
the plan is. I'm sure we're gonna break it down
some more. But what do you think of arrested Logan Gilbert?
I feel pretty good regardless of how they end up
panning this thing out and painting the picture of how
they're gonna attack Game six and possibly Game seven.

Speaker 7 (40:42):
I feel really good right now.

Speaker 6 (40:43):
Yeah, no doubt, And he should and I mean it'll
be an all out of salt with our bullpen and
starting pitchers and Brian Woof somehow potentially mixed it. Luis Castillo,
who only worked two innings, potentially worked in there.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
I mean, you're gonna have almost anybody from your entire staff.

Speaker 6 (41:01):
Available to you, Bryce Miller, It's probably gonna be available
to you if you need them on Sunday. And we
just have more good pictures than what the Blue Jays have.
And I want to get into that now because I
don't think the Springer moment was as pivotal as you
and Softy, because I think the energy was already there

(41:22):
in the crowd. To me, I'm looking at the bottom
of the eighth. I'm looking at who's coming up down one,
and we were down one for a while. It felt
like three and a half days that we were down one,
and we didn't really get anything going, frankly.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
For several innings against Kevin Gossman. But we had bottom
of the eighth. We could get through the top of
the eighth. Just down one.

Speaker 6 (41:47):
You got Cal Raleigh, Mvpjre Polonco, Josh Naylor, Randy Rose,
Arena and Gino who'd already Homer.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
So it's like, that's it, that's our inning.

Speaker 9 (41:59):
We do it in.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
That and if we can do it in the eighth,
Munjos comes in the ninth.

Speaker 6 (42:06):
We win Game number five, and John Schneider did something
that frankly, I think in Toronto they probably won him
fired for it, because I mean he's got a little
bit of a limited bullpen. But with that heart of
the order coming up, he had Jeff Hoffman, his closer,
who has hardly pitched it all in this series, and

(42:28):
he decides to go to left.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Hander Brendan Little there.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
And I know Brendan Little has come through for him
this year, but you just turned around cal Raleigh to
the right side of the plate. He had a record
twenty two home runs right handed this year. That is
a major league record twenty two home runs against left
handers in one season. Hoy Polanco, who last week, I
guess that John Schnider's not up on his news. Horri

(42:56):
Polanco had two home runs off Trek Schooble right handed
and has been on fire right handed.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
So he brings in a lefting.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
I suppose to face Josh Naylor third in the inning,
to face those two right handed inning monsters, and I
think that he provided for Cal a change up for Jorge,
who had had a terrible night at the plate against osmon.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
I mean, dreadful, a new lease on life.

Speaker 6 (43:25):
And then once Cal did connect on the home run,
like I said before, I think everything relaxed from that point.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
So he brings in Little.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
He goes to the left hander, not his closer, that's
not playoff baseball, and he gives up a home run
and a walk, and then he ends up walking Naylor, Yeah,
the lefty that he was apparently brought in to face
that Schneider was most worried about, I suppose. And he
doesn't get a single dude out, and then you have

(43:54):
to go to Sir Anthony Dominguez, who hasn't been able
to find the strike zone since nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 7 (44:01):
And what does he do.

Speaker 6 (44:02):
He hits our most struggling hitter, Randy A. Rose Arena
puts him on and now you know he doesn't want
to walk the bases loaded. And here comes Gino, who
looked a lot more locked in tonight than we've seen
him since he put that Mariner uniform back on. He'd
already homered once in the game, flew out the center,
drew a walk. He was having a good night at
the plate already, and as you said, had the absolute

(44:25):
perfect approach. One other element to that, the infield was
drawn in, so even if he misses it he puts
it in play, there's a good chance he's just gonna
loft a single over the infield and knock into At
that point, so everything was moving in our direction and
Gino decided.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
You know what, let's just go for the gustco here.
I'm gonna knock it out of the ballpark.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
So I think for a second series in a row,
in a huge moment, a manager made a really big
pitching change mistake.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
You can ask Mike Benton. I wrote it down footnote
Umber eighteen.

Speaker 6 (45:01):
That was before the Matt that cal Rawley had the
single one word mistake right down and and so to me,
aj Hinch made a mistake taking Trek Scoobel out of
the game in Game five of the Albs, and I think,
John Schneider, you're not anywhere close to the best John

(45:21):
Schneider in sports. By the way, John Schneider made a
huge gaff here tonight by going to a left hander
in that situation and turning Raleigh and Polonko to their
power sides, and we ended up coming away to Victor.

Speaker 8 (45:37):
Yeah, I mean, obviously right now, he's gonna have our
time reconciling that in his own brain and obviously with
the media here in the bar.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
When a Blue Jay fan came up to it.

Speaker 7 (45:48):
Oh yeah, but we were here five minutes.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
It's John Schneider's bolt under and.

Speaker 7 (45:53):
He's not alone.

Speaker 8 (45:54):
I can guarantee that it is definitely not the way
in which you typically see people. I mean, the fact
that we go to Brash in the fifth inning is
that's playoff baseball, right, That's just okay, you've got the
tough part of the lineup.

Speaker 7 (46:07):
You bring your best of the best in.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
You gotta bring your best.

Speaker 8 (46:10):
In, right, That's basically yet Right there, he says, Oh, okay,
I'll just bring in this guy.

Speaker 7 (46:13):
He's been good.

Speaker 8 (46:14):
If you look at his numbers over the postseason, he's
I think he's giving up one run and five or
six appearances.

Speaker 7 (46:19):
So he's been good.

Speaker 8 (46:21):
But you still are not. He's not your best, and
you're bringing him in to face Cal Rowling, the MVP
of the league.

Speaker 6 (46:26):
In my opinion, Kal Polanco, the hero of the last series, yep,
already had three game winning runs. Bat it in. You're
bringing you're switching him over to his better side. I
don't think Naylor worries at all about facing a lefty
right now, and so that's who you bring in at
that stage.

Speaker 7 (46:44):
Mistake.

Speaker 8 (46:44):
Well, I suppose if you if you're I mean, I
don't know how deep they're going on the analytics. I'm
sure they're going as deep as anybody is. But if
you're like, Okay, well I bring in a righty, I'm
facing three lefties. I bring in a lefty. I'm facing
two righties to switch hitters before I get at least
a lefty. So at least if one of those guys
gets on, then I get to face a lefty on

(47:05):
lefty matchup. Is probably what he's thinking.

Speaker 6 (47:07):
I think that is what he's thinking. But how do
you not notice, oh that Raleigh guys hit twenty.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Two home runs off lefties this year?

Speaker 7 (47:15):
Well he also is noticing.

Speaker 8 (47:17):
That means that he's hit thirty eight against righties. So no,
I mean, I don't even know why, because you've got
two more in the posts.

Speaker 6 (47:25):
If you've got a righty, whires you switching them over
with your lesser pitcher because you're not gaining any advantage.

Speaker 7 (47:32):
Well, that's doing thing. You just are bringing in a
lesser pitcher.

Speaker 8 (47:35):
You're not bringing the best of the best run against
the heart of their lineup, which is what you have
to do. And he has to be second guessing himself
right now, because I know the entire country of Canada's
second guess and good I'm glad.

Speaker 7 (47:47):
Yeah, I'm glad.

Speaker 8 (47:48):
You happy.

Speaker 6 (47:48):
I don't like you anyway, Josh Snyder got a fan
of any part of that? Yeah, you you know we've
got the John Schneider.

Speaker 8 (47:54):
You're just suck boy. Yeah, yeah, we didn't forget. By
the way, Kyle Rawley not that hard to pitch you.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
So to me, that was the changer more so than
the crowd energy changing when Springer got hitting the knee.
I mean maybe it was, maybe it was, but to me,
it was the pitching decision.

Speaker 6 (48:20):
When that was our ending, I mean, I felt like
it has to happen here like Canzone, Crawford Reevos have
not had good at batch tonight.

Speaker 9 (48:29):
This is it.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
The heart of our order is coming up in the
bottom of the eighth.

Speaker 6 (48:32):
We have to at least tie it here and maybe
take the lead here and then bring in Munios and
close it out.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
And I felt to me like, please go to Little,
Please go to Little, Please go to Little.

Speaker 6 (48:44):
And he went a little. It's as if he played
right into our hands. That's how I felt in the moment.
And it worked out that.

Speaker 8 (48:51):
Yeah, No, I'm with you. I mean, ultimately, the biggest
change is that cal Rawly, I mean the pitching change.
You all of a sudden say, Okay, we're gonna take
Louis Varlin out, who has been pretty darn nasty regardless
of who he's facing. We're gonna take him out. We
gotta bring somebody else in. It's time to bring somebody
else in.

Speaker 7 (49:07):
You go with Little.

Speaker 8 (49:08):
Regardless of what their numbers, what they were thinking about it,
it did feel like, well, this is the time they're
not bringing the best of the best they have in.

Speaker 7 (49:16):
They're bringing in somebody they think they can get by with,
and you have to make them pay for it.

Speaker 8 (49:21):
Cal Rawley does it, and then all of a sudden
relaxes everybody. That is the moment that changed, that the
atmosphere changed.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
But you're with me on that. Like Raleigh's Home run
might have actually.

Speaker 8 (49:30):
Been bigger than Gino's home run well in essence, in
a way, yes, in a way, I mean it's the
it's what set the table for I think a relaxed
if you're still down one and bases loaded, Now it
wouldn't be that, but let's say it's basis loaded.

Speaker 7 (49:45):
Cal gets out.

Speaker 8 (49:46):
In that situation, you're still down one, bases loaded, there's
more pressure on Geno Smith. You're not tied anymore. You
need one to tie this thing, and you know you're
in the bottom of the eighth, you're running out of outs.
There would be far more pressure in that situation. So yes,
it relaxed everybody from that point forward. The takes that
that Naylor had, the takes that uh Polanco had, and

(50:10):
hit gets hit, But it still is he took, he
took one, swung through one, and then gets hit with one.
All of those things change if you if cal Rawley
gets out, if you if you get to our lineup
is lengthened to some degree to where you can but
it's even with a long lineup. When there's a dude
that has sixty two now sixty three home run sixty

(50:30):
three this season, you do get to take a little
bit of a sigh relief if you get him out
to lead off the inning, you know what I mean, Yeah,
you still got your work cutout, were you. You got
Horriet Polonko, who's been clutched in October. You got Josh Naylor,
who I don't think he's scared of anything, and you
got a guy with fifty home runs that hasn't really
done a whole heck of a lot.

Speaker 7 (50:49):
But he did have a knock yesterday the other way.
He had a home run earlier in the series.

Speaker 8 (50:53):
He looks like he's starting to find it a little bit. So, yeah,
you get the lineup is long enough to you don't
get to take a break. But if you think that
they wouldn't have had a sire relief, if that ball
would have came up ten feet shorter and landed in
the glove of the left fielder, you're wrong. So that's
the biggest turning moment of the momentum. If you are like,

(51:14):
oh my god, the city came alive. That stadium went
absolutely crazy when cal did that, and yet you're just
tied up. But then there was a relaxation part of it. Mind,
when I'm talking about the Springer thing. It's what I felt.
I felt like because it was just this, oh man,
they're kind of shoving it on us, and oh man,
we just not really getting a whole heck of a
lot going. I'm thinking to myself, you gotta get something going,

(51:37):
and then you gotta take advantage of it, because you're
not gonna get three more opportunities three innings where you
get runners in the scoring position. And so that was
one where it's like, this is the heart of our lineup.
We gotta do something here. Cal takes one swing in
the bat says, hey, boys, don't worry about it. The
dumber can handle carrying this thing. We're tied up.

Speaker 7 (51:53):
Now, let's say, you know what, let's tack on a
couple more and win this.

Speaker 8 (51:56):
Bad boy instead of being tied and going next to
your innings and everybody else follows suit right behind him,
and Gino does the cherry on top.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Oh, oh man, cherry on top? Man, that was a cherry.
Do you believe a cherry orchard?

Speaker 8 (52:09):
Yes? Yeah, I thought you're gonna see cherry orgasm. Yeah,
oh fine, as a cherry orgast said, or yeah, I
thought you were going somewhere else.

Speaker 6 (52:17):
So Grand slamper Gino. Six to two is your final score.
Munios closes it out of the ninth. Mariners win Game
number five. They're up three games to two in the
American League Championship Series.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
They are one went away with two.

Speaker 6 (52:31):
Shots at getting it in Toronto starting on Sunday, and
is Baseball's best postgame show, Bucky Jacob. Since here my
name is Chuck Powell. We will continue until the top
of the hour. We haven't heard from anybody across the street,
so we'll hear from Dan Wilson, the manager that didn't
make a stupid decision.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
Even though there are some things to talk about on
the pitching side.

Speaker 6 (52:53):
We haven't even gotten to the pitching side of things
tonight for the Mariners, because it was an interesting night
from and Wilson's perspective and all of the pitchers that
took the mounds perspective. We'll get into that next Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJRFL.

Speaker 4 (53:08):
Now back to the ALCS postgame show.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
There is nothing like postseason baseball, brought to you.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
By Seattle's closest sports book.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Snow call me Casino and hotel your plays for a
true in game betting experience. Get in on the action
at Seattle's closest snow Call Me Casino and Hotel.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Now here's Chuck and Bud. We will be out at.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
Snow Caall Me Casino and Hotel on Sunday.

Speaker 6 (53:33):
Just got confirmation on that to watch Game six to
our postgame show from snow Cauaalme Casino and Hotel on Sunday.
So it'll be a five colock start, right, isn't that
five o'clock on Sunday?

Speaker 2 (53:47):
I do believe, might be five thirty.

Speaker 6 (53:49):
I know we have the stage to ourselves except for
football five oh three, Yeah, five oh three on Sunday
for Game number six, So we'll be out there doing
the postgame show from there and probably watching the.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Game from there as well. So make a note of it.

Speaker 6 (54:06):
Right now, we're at Jimmy's on First cross the street
from T Mobile, where the place was electric once again
tonight and Mariner fans were rewarded with a six to
two victory. Gino swore as a Grand Slam home run
in the bottom of the eighth inning, a five run
bottom of the eighth inning. Mariners did score first in
this game, Josh, excuse me. Gino Suarez hit a home

(54:29):
run in the second inning to kind of get the
score well, to get the scoring started, not kind of to.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Make a one to nothing. Bryce Miller was terrific.

Speaker 6 (54:38):
He had a shutout through four innings, but was eventually
taken out with a single allowed to start the fifth.
Matt Brash came in the game early, gave up an
RBI double to George Springer to tie the game. Then
in the sixth that we saw Brian wo make his
first playoff appearance. It's something to discuss. We will discuss

(54:58):
it on Baseball's Best postgame show here in a moment.
But Wu gives up very first pitch a double to
Alejandro Kirk, and then Kirk, the world's largest e walk,
scores on a single from Ernie Clement.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
That's guy's a paint in the ass. Yeah, Kirk scores
from second base.

Speaker 6 (55:16):
Even though he runs an eleven four forty, he still
scored on dom Can Zone's arm from second base, and
the Blue Jays had to lead at two to one,
where it would stay for an uncomfortably long period of time.
But in the bottom of the eighth, Cal Raleigh the
Year of Cal Holmers to left field on a rain

(55:37):
maker from the right side of the plate off of
newly inserted Brendan Little to tie the game at two,
and then after a walk, a walk and a hit
by pitch, Geno Swarez sizes up Sir Anthony Dominguez with
a grand slam home run to write Softy Maller earlier
after spitting in my mouth called it the biggest hit

(56:00):
in Mariner's history.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
I'm not sure I'll put it there, but I don't care.
Let's we Ashley Ryan was right.

Speaker 6 (56:06):
We need another moment like that, something to make a
statue out.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Of one of these days. And we got it from
Gino tonight.

Speaker 8 (56:14):
Yeah. And I mean ultimately, you know, tomato tomato, which
is the biggest I don't bring No, it's just another
enormous I mean, ultimately, you are one game away.

Speaker 7 (56:27):
We've never been in fifty years, We've never been one
game away from the World Series.

Speaker 8 (56:33):
It's so whatever hit got you there, especially the monumental,
the size of that one. It's a tide ball game.
Bottom of the eighth base is loaded. It's what you
dream of when you're playing with football in the backyard.
And Gino Suarez ends up coming through with that moment.
I mean it's uh, it's it's hard to put into words. Yeah,

(56:55):
and yet it's because there's more than just that. It's
what led to the basis loaded. It's the relief factor
after Cow's rain maker, which you're talking about a rain maker,
you know you end up looking it up. The launch angle.
I'm not a big fan of all that stuff. Like
just I can just tell like, wow, that was a
rain maker.

Speaker 7 (57:13):
That was a high home run.

Speaker 8 (57:14):
That impressive that he has enough juice to get that
out even though it was that big of a pop
up kind of But ultimately you'll talk about a line
drive home run could be like twenty five degrees. If
you got some serious juice and you hit one at
twenty five degree launch angle, it's like a streamer, Like, wow,
that that thing was a p rod, right, Typically your
bombs are like thirty five degree. That was forty three

(57:39):
degree launch angle. So to think of a forty five
degree angle, it's coming off at a forty five degree
angle and it ends up landing in Edgar's cantina.

Speaker 7 (57:47):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (57:48):
The power this guy has, unbelievable, The clutch factor that
he has a feel for, like a dramatic the dramatic moment.
It's like he's built for it. It's like he's made
for it, and he doesn't. Not only does he not
shrivel when the moment gets big, bits even bigger. And
it's hard to get bigger than hitting sixty homers in
a regular season.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
And yet he does it.

Speaker 7 (58:09):
He finds a way to do it exactly what the
team needed.

Speaker 8 (58:12):
Because even though you were just too too and that's
ultimately the way you have to look at it as
a player, it felt like you it was they had
two two and they had a remainder up there somehow
because they kicked your ass twice on your home field
after you beat them twice at their field, and so
it was. It just was there's something about it that

(58:33):
just felt big. I mean it was big, it is big,
but there's something about the way in which it was
done was, Man, we're scuffling, we're scuffling.

Speaker 7 (58:41):
How do you only have three hits against this guy?

Speaker 8 (58:43):
Not that that he's an easy pitcher to get more,
but I expect this lineup to do more than three
knocks against anybody. I don't care who it is. And
yet you get diced up by a forty one year
old last night. Now you got their ace on the
bump and you're letting him pitch like an ace. It
didn't matter because our pitching staff ended up coming through,
holding it down, keeping it to where you're right there

(59:04):
within striking distance.

Speaker 7 (59:06):
And then we struck.

Speaker 6 (59:07):
Then we struck, yeah, struck, and struck hard. Six to
the final score, Dan Wilson after the game.

Speaker 13 (59:15):
That's exactly you know what our guys do. You know,
you can't.

Speaker 5 (59:18):
Obviously a huge day for Gino, a huge day for
Cal ironically the two guys that didn't switch spots in
the lineup.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
But when you look at what happened before that, you know,
walk to.

Speaker 5 (59:29):
Polo, Lockton Naylor and then the hit by pitch to Randy,
those are huge, abastic to get into, you know, to
get on base and and to get something going there,
and then Gino took it from there.

Speaker 13 (59:40):
What an afternoon for Gino just uh, you know, to
to not try to do too much with that pitch
and hit the other way like he did.

Speaker 5 (59:48):
Just just a phenomenal at bat right there, all all
the way through, and then you know the homer earlier
in the game.

Speaker 13 (59:54):
To get us on the board.

Speaker 5 (59:56):
You know, you can't say enough about just how how
good it must feel for Geno and and uh picking
up those you know, five RBIs for us today and
giving us a victory. This was just a great day
for him. And again a great day up and down
the line up. That's you know, that's that's how we
roll and and that's what we do well.

Speaker 13 (01:00:16):
And and today it came through for us big time.

Speaker 14 (01:00:20):
Third, grow straight ahead, Mike Dan right here.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
You've been in that dugout for some of the biggest
moments in franchise history. But that eighth inning, just what
did that feel like?

Speaker 13 (01:00:28):
You know, just being in there, feeling the crowd, feeling
the momentum.

Speaker 8 (01:00:31):
What what was that like for you?

Speaker 5 (01:00:32):
Yeah, I mean, first of all, it felt like Cal's
ball was in the air for about an hour, but
you know, to see that one go over and tie
the score, and then after Gino's grand Slam, I'm not
sure I've heard that building any louder than that. You know, again,
just can't say enough about the fans here in Seattle.
You know, just how much they support us, how they
come out, how they turn out, how they you know,

(01:00:54):
give us the energy we need another phenomenal day. Uh
from from the people here in Seattle, and you know,
just uh, it makes you emotional just thinking about that
and and just how just how loud it was at
that moment. And you know, talking to a lot of
people who have been around here since, you know, since
the two thousand and one days, and they don't remember

(01:01:17):
a time that it was dis loud before. So just
an incredible moment, I think, a team mobile and you
just you can't say enough about the support we've received
from these fans this year.

Speaker 14 (01:01:27):
Staying are far left by the monitor, Jared, how do
you how can you articulate what your two big trade
deadline acquisitions have meant to this team, especially what's happened
over the last couple of weeks here.

Speaker 5 (01:01:38):
Yeah, you know again we've you know, you you you
look at our club and just just how much deeper
it got with with you know, with Josh and and
Uh and Gino and Uh. You know, just the number
of big hits that they've come up with for us
along the way along the stretch. You know, Nails has
been you know, so good defensively at first, but also

(01:02:00):
just picking up huge knocks all over the place, you know,
for us down the stretch, and then Gino, you know,
big home runs and then certainly today just an absolutely
huge day for us.

Speaker 13 (01:02:10):
And and uh, you know, I can't thank the front
office enough.

Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
You can't think, you know, the job that Jerry Justin
and Andy McKay have done to put this team together.
And and uh, you know, we still have work to do.
We still have a lot of work to do here,
to to to get through, uh, and to get to
the next step. And and but you know, just a
huge day all around, and and and a good way
to get on that plane third rowing.

Speaker 7 (01:02:32):
You're right, Ryan Dan.

Speaker 15 (01:02:33):
When when Gino struggles, it can often look really ugly.
But have you ever seen a player that doesn't seem
to show his struggles pregame, post game? I mean, people
are around it, but can you articulate to people what
it's really like to be around him when he's because
it doesn't seem like it's any different than when he's rolling.

Speaker 5 (01:02:49):
Yeah, I think you know, as good a player as
you know, as he's he's he's an even better person.
And I think that's that's what shines through with Gino.
You know, you can't tell if he's in a slump.
You can't tell of you know, what he's going through
because he's always picking everybody else up, and he's just
a selfless player. And you know that's why everybody roots
in that clubhouse roots for Gino so hard, because he

(01:03:11):
just doesn't think about himself at all.

Speaker 13 (01:03:13):
And uh, you know again, uh, just being able to give.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
Gino a hug after the game, and and and knowing
how much how good it feels for him to do
what he did today. He's just an incredible person, an
incredible leader, uh you know, an incredible ballplayer, and today
just a huge day.

Speaker 7 (01:03:32):
For him, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
Dan Wilson after the game, talking about Geno Suarez who
ends up being the having the heroic moment.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
But interesting game for Dan Wilson.

Speaker 6 (01:03:44):
We know they're going to start kind of manage these
next three games like almost like their Game sevens, not
entirely like it, but almost like Game seven's.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
And there were certainly some things early on to question.

Speaker 6 (01:03:58):
But I tell you, I look back that fourth inning,
Bryce Miller loads the bases, nobody out, huge strikeout of
Dalton var Show and then the little tapper in front
of the plate that Cal Rawley like, I'm you know,
puma jumping out of the brush comes and gets before
it can roll foul and pulls off the double play.

(01:04:19):
I kind of felt I looked at you and I said,
Bryce Miller is gonna go seven innings because of that play.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
He's gonna get motivated at that moment.

Speaker 6 (01:04:26):
Instead, he gives up a single in the very next inning,
and they took him out and went to Matt Brash.
It felt a little premature for me. I just trust
Bryce and his gusto so much. I mean, every time
I see.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
Him now, I'm just like.

Speaker 7 (01:04:42):
Bound bound. Now.

Speaker 6 (01:04:44):
That's when I think when I see Bryce Miller so
interesting that that he gets out of that fourth and
then a single into the fifth, and Dan's like, I
can't trust you to get out of.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
This again, man, I gotta go to Bret Maddie right here.

Speaker 7 (01:04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:04:58):
Well, I mean I think there's some degree it's who
else is coming up right for somebody fresh? That play,
first of all unbelievable. Before that too, that all of the.

Speaker 7 (01:05:08):
Little things that happened tonight. How about in the third
inning again the leadoff double, Oh my gosh, so the
same guy and then.

Speaker 8 (01:05:16):
It's the Himenez who had hit two homers in that
exact same situation, and he hits the line drive to
nailor that we double him up. You're like, oh my god,
Oh finally things are going our way. It feels right.

Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
It didn't feel like something changed right there, like like
it's almost like the baseball guys are like, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:05:33):
We can't do that to you again, right right. This
guy doesn't deserve homers. He's not like that. If you
can catch this, you can double him up. I mean,
it's that was a big play the fourth inning, wiggling
out of a bases loaded no outs jam.

Speaker 7 (01:05:44):
You're right, and you said it.

Speaker 8 (01:05:45):
You were like, I think he's gonna go a long way.

Speaker 7 (01:05:47):
Well, it was. It's the that you have.

Speaker 8 (01:05:52):
Vlad looming on deck, right, you have Vlad or he's
coming up in that inn. You have Lad sitting there,
and Lad the first day be the first pitch that
he sees from Bryce Miller. It's at one hundred and
eighty thousand miles an hour to left field. That's just like, oh, okay,
we got you log that away. I don't know for
sure how comfortable they were gonna be going through the

(01:06:14):
heart of the lineup a third time with Rice and
because they had Wu, but because they felt like they
had Wu right and Brash where it's like, Okay, we
can have Brash go against lefties and righty's through the
heart of the lineup one time. If we bring Wu
in and a clean inning to start an inning, especially
if it's the middle to bottom of the lineup, we
feel good that we can get two innings out of him. Ultimately,

(01:06:36):
it worked out exactly the way that I think that
they would have planned it, even though they would it'd
love to probably have Bryce Miller go be able to
finish the fifth inning. But at the same time, if
you can go out there and say Spire is a
guy that has scuffled and then done really well through
different parts of this postseason, he goes out there and
has a flawless Indian as well to set it up
for Monnials, it just seems like they had a game plan.

Speaker 7 (01:06:57):
You have to just on the fly.

Speaker 8 (01:07:00):
That was one where I thought Brice Moler was gonna
end up going through it, but he ends up giving
a lead off knock.

Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
Gives the lead up knock, and then you go to
u Manny there after that, and you had the bottom
of the order up when you took him out.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
That's why I kind of felt that Bryce deal with Kiner, Fileffa.

Speaker 6 (01:07:16):
And Jimenez here and then if he's still in trouble,
maybe you take take him, bring in Brash to face Springer.
Springer ends up getting the RBI double off a Brash,
then he walks Luke Lucas and you're like, oh my gosh,
that is the last thing you want to do right there.
Now you got to face Guerrero with two men on
base and another huge moment to keep it where it

(01:07:40):
was to strike out Guerrero on a three to.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Two pitch with a I'm coming after your ass fastball. Yeah,
monster moment.

Speaker 6 (01:07:50):
Yeah, we're gonna talk about Gino Suarez for home run forever,
probably not gonna talk about Brashes strike out of Guerrero
beyond tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
That was monstrous.

Speaker 8 (01:08:00):
Yes, after you end up walking him to bring I mean,
there's not a more feared person. And that's saying something
because I think cal Rawly is somebody to be feared.
And yet you watch how they went after cal raw
They they cal Rawly had hit a home run off
of Gosman Splitter in the first game of the series,
right and ended up helping propel us to a victory.

(01:08:21):
I think there was a bunch of times tonight where
they used cal Rawly knows I'm coming splitter. I'm gonna
go splitter, but I'm gonna just be off the plate away.
And I can remember that feeling so many times where
I'm guessing what I think he's gonna throw, and then
when he throws it, I swing, and then as I'm swinging,
I'm like, but it's not where I can hit it. Yeah,

(01:08:41):
I guessed right, Yeah, but it's not a hit able pitch.
They did that to him tons of times tonight. Vlad Guerrero,
on the other hand, just seems like, oh my god,
locked in. Yeah, he's crazy locked in, and and ultimately
it was like, we do not want to see this guy.
And I was thinking to myself, if you go something
in the zone, slider, fastball, in the zone, away, anywhere

(01:09:04):
towards the middle of the plate away, you are in trouble.
Because he's thinking hitting to all fields. You have to
tie him up inside and he throws probably the nastiest
sinker he's thrown since he's got back from Tommy Johnns.
As far as the pressure, the moment, who you're facing,
it was dotted on the inside corner right underneath the
hands with some silly sink and movement to it at

(01:09:26):
ninety seven ninety eight miles an hour, perfect pitch, perfect situation.
Another big moment that you're right will be kind of
lost in the shuffle when we're talking about this game
twenty years from now.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
And we still need to talk about WU.

Speaker 6 (01:09:36):
We can do that in our final segment, because I
certainly think that ties into the rest of this series.

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
Which we'll talk about on the other side.

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
It's Baseball's best post game show live from Jimmy's On
first former Mariner Bucky Jacob. Since here my name is
Chuck Powell, got one more segment to go. Mariners win
at six to two over the Toronto Blue Jays. They're
up three games to two in this series, just one
went away from their first World Series appearance in the
history of this city.

Speaker 12 (01:10:30):
Oh, Tony has done it again, his third home run.

Speaker 6 (01:10:39):
It's Chuck a Buck from Jimmy Soon first Baseball's best
postgame show, brought to you by Snow Call Me Casino
and Hotel. As magical as our evening has been in Seattle,
Bucky in the National League Championship Series, it's worth noting
because shoe Otani might be having the greatest game a
baseball player has ever played in the history of the sport.

(01:11:03):
He went six innings of two hits, shutout baseball with
ten strikeouts. He's going to get the win to close
out the series. And he's hit three home runs and
three at that.

Speaker 8 (01:11:16):
He's not real. He is real. He's not He's not real.
He's in the alien.

Speaker 7 (01:11:25):
He had a no hitter going for a while.

Speaker 6 (01:11:26):
Hey, you know what your award is for winning the
American League for the first time ever?

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
Facing that free Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:11:35):
Yeah? Oh you mean like when he pitches yeah, anything else?

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
Yeah, there is a little bit else.

Speaker 8 (01:11:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:11:43):
He also leads off. Yeah, and he already went through
his slump. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:11:49):
It's like he's coming out of it.

Speaker 8 (01:11:51):
Yeah, he's on what is coming out of it? He's
swung three times.

Speaker 6 (01:11:54):
Apparently almost one almost went out of the stadium, which
is not easy to.

Speaker 9 (01:12:01):
One of those home runs nearly hit the seventy sixth
sign at the top of the right field scoreboard.

Speaker 6 (01:12:08):
My gosh, Jackson Feltz is here with us. By the way, Jackson,
please thirty seconds. How are you feeling your entire life?
You've been waiting for the Mariners to get the World Series.

Speaker 2 (01:12:17):
Your one went away.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
First off, I don't know what to do with my hands.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
I mean this whole whole season, guys, it's been crazy
your brand.

Speaker 9 (01:12:24):
From my adult life, I've never experienced anything like postseason
series period because it's all one games for Seahawks and
Sounders and that kind of stuff. This is my brain
is fried, trying to understand how to deal with the
daily stress, and this is I mean tonight's it's magical.
As Softie said, this is the top moment in Mariner

(01:12:48):
history from forty nine years.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Hey, he told you.

Speaker 6 (01:12:53):
I hear them all the time on you guys this
show saying when this then this team makes a run
toward the World Series.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
City is going to come on glued. Yeah, I'm telling you,
I know you weren't down here.

Speaker 6 (01:13:03):
Hopefully you'll get here if we may get to the
next round, but this place came unglued.

Speaker 9 (01:13:09):
I'm ready to shell out a thousand plus dollars for
a ticket to Game three if we make the World
Series on October twenty seventh, I am ready to shell
out the money.

Speaker 12 (01:13:19):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
We'll sneak in buckets which got really strong back. We'll
find a big sack all happily sitting. Radio people have
to have equipment.

Speaker 7 (01:13:29):
Right it, Yeah, broadcasting equipment.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
It's two hundred and twelve pounds of you know, the
broad gas there.

Speaker 6 (01:13:41):
All right, So we still got work to do. It's
not over as fun as tonight was. We still have
to win a game out of these next two. We
said in the pregame with Ian when we did the roundtable. Look,
it's a best of three series. I said it this morning.
It's a best of three series. Win two out of three.
Why does that seem so daunting to people? Why does
that seem so intimidating to Mariner fans? We have the

(01:14:04):
better team, and even though we didn't even have the
pitching advantage, which on most nights we're gonna have. We
didn't have it tonight against Kevin Gosman, and we still
pull out the victory. And so now you got that
one out of the way. You're not gonna get another
home game in this series. You have two on the road,
and they got to both be treated bucket like Game seven's,

(01:14:24):
and you've got everything at your disposal. As far as
I'm concerned, Luis Castill could pitch tomorrow if you needed
him to out of the pen.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
We do know that Logan Gilbert will be starting game
number six.

Speaker 6 (01:14:37):
He was not the same Logan Gilbert because of the
way he's been used in getting out of his routine.
So there's a very good chance that he shows up
and dominates in Toronto on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
So he goes.

Speaker 6 (01:14:48):
But I mean, Brian Wu made his appearance, first appearance tonight.
I don't know if he looked vintage Brian Wu. But
if that's your first step out of the gates, I
think he's certainly usable over the course the next couple
of days.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
You could even use George on Sunday. You could even
use Bryce on Sunday.

Speaker 6 (01:15:06):
So it's all in to get you gotta just scrap
it out whatever it takes if you're Dan Wilson on Sunday,
and then of obviously whatever it takes on Monday if
it comes to that.

Speaker 8 (01:15:15):
Yeah, and we do know on their side they're going
with a youngster that you, savage kid is who they're throwing. Well,
so to me, it just kind of points towards I mean,
obviously the games aren't one on paper, we know that
for a fact, and yet it still is one of
those I like the idea logan on the proper amount
of rest without being all messed up with his routine.

Speaker 7 (01:15:36):
I like that idea.

Speaker 8 (01:15:37):
We are gonna need the offense to show up against
his youngster, because he dominated against his one game of Yankees.

Speaker 7 (01:15:43):
He looked like he has nasty stuff against us.

Speaker 8 (01:15:45):
And then a couple little things, a couple of little
sliding doors happened and the wheels came off for him.

Speaker 7 (01:15:51):
Well, that means you got to do that early.

Speaker 8 (01:15:52):
Don't let this kid start gaining confidence because he's built
like a thoroughbred out there, and he looks like he
could shove it on you and strike out eleven guys.
If you're not careful, So then we better damn we'll
have a good plan of attack how we're gonna go
about there, because the offense is still not doing what
I think it's cable doing.

Speaker 7 (01:16:08):
And I will give credit to Gosman. I'll give credit to.

Speaker 8 (01:16:11):
The pitcher, evenser I think that Sures are as bad
as his regular season finished over the last six weeks
of how he pitched. He didn't look bad yesterday, and
now we let him off the hook with certain things.
We didn't have a very good approach towards him, But
at the same time, he did what he wanted to do,
He imposed his will and and that's where they ended
up winning that. So, yeah, the job is not done.

(01:16:33):
I'm not ordering anything. I'm not gonna sit here and say,
well guaranteed, now all we gotta do is play five hundred.

Speaker 7 (01:16:38):
Baseball the rest of the season. No, not the case.

Speaker 8 (01:16:41):
Yeah we got we still got people going nuts. They're
dry humping the windows. If the crazy things will happen.

Speaker 7 (01:16:48):
When you get one game from when you get one
game from.

Speaker 8 (01:16:50):
The World Series, people will do all kinds of crazy stuff.
But yeah, it's I love where we're at right now.
I mean, I've loved the entire postseason, and yet they've
team just has a knack for making you doubt yourself. Right,
if you're a believer, they make you doubt whether or
not you should be.

Speaker 6 (01:17:06):
Well, maybe Gino's hot. That dude can carry you when
he is hot. All right, that'll do it for us.
Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you Jackson Felts,
Thank you Mike bending across the street getting us some sound.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
Thank you Snoqualmi Casino, and thank you Jimmy's on first.
