The Mariners win Game 1 of the ALCS in Toronto and we have a LOT of baseball to talk about since we were last on the air! How about that epic 150inning game on Friday night? Would the Mariners be too tired after Friday night to show up in Toronto on Sunday? A lot of people assumed so and they were most definitely wrong as Bryce Miller and the pitching staff threw 100 pitches over 9 innings and Cal Raleigh and Jorge Polanco took care of the rest. :30- Mariners Morning After: did the M’s “steal” the win in Toronto? Bryce Miller gave up a first pitch home run and threw 27 pitches in the 1st before settling down to go 6 full innings and give the bullpen the reigns after that. Cal Raleigh sure does like playing in Canada. :45- It’s cold turkey sandwich time as we check out the NFL scoreboard from week 6.

more Mariners to talk about here today, plus Seahawks, plus
crack and plus Usky's Oh my gosh, what a weekend

here in Seattle. But mainly we will be focusing on

Speaker 2 (02:07):
How you feeling my game? I feel great?

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a very good weekend. Oh boy,
I'll say the fifteen inning game, what ridiculous? And then yeah,
just might as well cap that off with since we're
gonna be here, might as well go ahead and travel
to Toronto and whoop them once real quick.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
Ashley, how you feeling great? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:33):
Yesterday I was. It felt like the longest day ever.
Before five o'clock, I just counting down. At one point
I started watching Real Housewives of Orange County just to
try to kill some time. To my friend, I was like,
I feel like I've been watching it for eleven hours
and it had only been thirty five minutes. I was like,
oh my god, you know you could have done football.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well.

Speaker 8 (02:50):
I had that on a like I had Red Zone
on another TV. But I just couldn't concentrate enough, and
so I was like, I'll watch something frivolous and silly
and that'll something that'll.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Really lock killed some time. It didn't didn't help at all.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
Helped.

Speaker 7 (03:04):
Ah, Wow, what a what a weekend, There's no question
about it. And we'll get into Game one here in
a moment, just but just a little bit of time
on Friday night, because that's gonna be one of the
most memorable games in the history of Seattle sports. Yeah,
and I mean they were calling it instant classic, all

(03:24):
sorts of things. I'll say this, I felt like a
dish rag at the end of the night, just kept
feeling like I was.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Getting rung out and then just hung out to dry
and then had to be used again and then.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
Just started the process all over with. I mean, fifteen
innings of just excruciating like on the edge of your
seat kind of baseball where you were fearful for you know,
several innings and you know, two hours, you were fearful
that one Tiger at that was gonna change the outcome,

(03:57):
and then hopeful that one just one Mariner coming through
for inning after inning, at bad after it bat was
gonna finish off the week, finish off the series in
just this extraordinary, jubilant moment, and eventually, after fifteen innings
we finally got it. But five hours of baseball on Friday,

(04:20):
fifteen innings, and I'll say this, man, that crowd was
about as impressive as any crowd at any sporting event
in the history of mankind, because the energy was just
jumping out of that stadium and it never really dissipated.
I mean it was just I mean standing almost the

(04:42):
entire game, I mean, reacting the way that you want
a crowd to react. It was really impressive and so
nice showing Seattle, nice showing Mariners, fans.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
And look, when you're playing fifteen innings and.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
One play goes one way or the other, oh yeah,
a crowd, a home crowd, a fan base can be
the difference in a game like that.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
And I wonder if it was, it must certainly helped.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
I mean, there's just so many little things that went
on in that game that were like instrumental in how
the ebbs and flows went right. I mean something, not
all of them good necessarily. The crowd, on the other hand, didn't.
They never wavered. You'll you'll see a crowd be into
a game. We saw it last night. You'll see a
crowd first pitch boom home or they're into it, and

(05:31):
then you can kind of quiet them down with good pitching.
We would see our team put the you know, maybe
put themselves in position to walk this thing off, and
then fail in the moment, not come through and not
get it done, and you would think, oh man, how
many times can I do this before the collective rag
gets wrung out to the point of like, okay, I'm

(05:52):
just tir are we going to do this or not?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
They never wavered.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
They just kind of continued to kind of push and
pull and eventually, to some degree, kind of pulled the
Mariners across the finish line.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I think that there's a.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Lot to me, there's a to me, the beautiful thing,
the most beautiful thing about being a fan in sports
is the opportunity to have that feeling, the whole thing,
the whole You let game one go and then you
come back and eaven it up, and then you you
win game three, and then you have falter when you
could have clinched it, but you get to come home

(06:26):
and then it's you know you, you you, you find
yourself up and then Carrie Carpenter does that thing and
then you you answer right back and tie it up
and then you go extra and it's that whole emotional
turmoil that you're put through when you're just sitting there
kind of with a lot hanging in the balance emotionally
for you. And I just don't think there's any other

(06:47):
fan base across sports that has this same type of
love affair with a team that has constantly hurt them,
and yet the team feels it that this man is
very cup it is very cub like you're right with
the whole curse and whatnot. They finally overcame that and
think about how how much sweeter it was.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Now.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Not that you want to go through torture, because then
when you find something good, it makes you feel even better.
But if you were forced to go through torture, which
we have been. It's that much sweeter when you all
of a sudden win it so to me, Uh it was.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
It was poetic almost.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
It was exhausting but amazing.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
So we haven't even talked to you since.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
Bucket and I've seen each other like a thousand times
since Friday.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (07:31):
No, it was so five Iron and Palmer the Great
and I went to the game.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
We got down there. I think we got in our
seats an hour ahead of the game.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I want them to wear named tad.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
I'm gonna make them.

Speaker 8 (07:43):
Yeah, and we were just sitting there again it was like,
oh my gosh, how how long is this hour gonna take?
I had two drinks before the game started because I
was so nervous, then only one other drink after I
was done. But I was like, I just need to
get these. I'm like just stressed out, stressed out. And
then it was like then the things start and you're excited.
And I just remember as the game was going on

(08:07):
and we got into the extra innings, I didn't I
wasn't even paying attention to what inning it was.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
It was just okay, Detroit's up, Okay, we're up. Okay,
Detroit's up.

Speaker 8 (08:16):
And you were just kind of following this formula of okay,
great pitching, Yes, here we go, offense is gonna pull through.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Now, Okay, the didn't, and then everyone.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
Would at least they didn't get two guys on every
inning for like several innings in a row and look
like they were gonna score.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
Oh wait, yeah no, that would have. That would have yeah,
get us all excited thinking it was gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, didn't happen.

Speaker 8 (08:41):
Exhaust and then we'd we'd hug when we'd get a hit.
Palmer and I would hug, and then five Iron was like,
we're only high fiving if they score. That's it, not
high fighting for anything else. Meanwhile, Palmer the Great and I,
we're high fiving, we're hugging. She's already cried three times,
and and it's like, but in between every inning, I
just remember being like you could feel everyone kind of

(09:02):
go okay, and then we'd all sit down for a second. Yeah,
and then they'd play some songs started all over and
all get up and we're screaming at the top of
our lungs. You gotta fight for your right to party
and journey, don't stop believing, and all the songs are
playing and you're like, yeah, no, we can do this.
We're not exhausted. I haven't been up since four This

(09:23):
is great, But I wouldn't have changed any of it. Oh,
it was phenomenal. I said last week we needed a
new Alds moment and we got it.

Speaker 7 (09:32):
Yeah, you definitely got it. I mean that entire game
just incredible. But yes, Mariners do win the American League
Divisional Series. It was a party Friday night. Took fifteen
innings to do it. And then they get ready for
the American League Championship Series. You play game number one
before you even get through the weekend. So on a
plane to Toronto and then a win three to one

(09:55):
last night over the over the Jays to go up one. Oh,
and the best of seven round the American League Championship Series.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
And I keep seeing Bucky.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
Everybody's saying that the Mariners stole Game one. I just
don't see it that way. I mean that suggests that they,
you know, they kind of snuck in the back door,
or you know, just stole a pie off the window
sill and took off running to eat it across the meadow.
To me, the Mariners are the better team on paper,

(10:28):
I don't care if the Blue Jays have a better record.
I don't care if they have home field advantage. We
match up really well with this team. I wasn't surprised
in the slightest by last night's result, even though they
had their ace and we had Bryce Miller. I'm I mean, yeah,
maybe I wouldn't have, you know, bet the house on
us winning, but I'm certainly not surprised. I don't look
at it as we stole it. I look at it

(10:50):
as we got invited into the house. We said hello,
We went and grabbed our own beer. You know, we
sat in their chair, in dad's chair. We grabbed the
remote and changed it to a channel we wanted to watch.
I think we went in their front door and just
took it from them. I mean, I guess that's stealing,
I suppose, but it just kind of makes it feel like, oh,

(11:12):
we snucked that one out.

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Now.

Speaker 7 (11:13):
I think the better team outplayed the host in game
number one, and I kind of expect more of the
same to come.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah, I mean, I don't feel like it was a steal,
like some crazy upset. If anybody's mean it like that,
I mean the fact that you were coming off a
big game, you know, an emotional game, you didn't have
the rest. You were going on the road against a
team that had a better season statistically as far as
wins and losses go. I guess yeah, I mean if

(11:43):
you I mean they had the best they were the
number one seed, they had the best record in the
American League. So I guess if you're just looking at
it at that level, then sure you could say that.
I suppose I'm not going to look at it on
that level because I feel like this Mariner team is
up for this.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
They're kind of designed for it. Now.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
The way in which they did it with going getting
to throw or needing to throw Bryce Miller because they
didn't have a bunch of options based on how many
pitchers they had to use, and the fact that they
went five games in their series and not four, all
of that kind of started pointing I think towards a
lot of people. I mean, all the Hall of Fame

(12:23):
analysts besides a Rod were picking you know, they were
picking Toronto there. But then they were thinking, well, but
don't you sleep on this Mariner team. They're going to
make it a series. It's almost like some people that
haven't watched this team. Were overlooking like this one's going
to be really tough for them to win Game one
at their place. They're rest at ace that whole thing.
And yet that's not the way the baseball works. If

(12:46):
it is, it wouldn't be near as enjoyable if you
just said, well, they have a better pitching matchup, Okay,
do they? Well, obviously they didn't, because our guy went
out there. If he hasn't been our ace, and he's
pitched through a bunch of stuff that we'll get into
the course of the show, I'm sure he can pitch
just as well as Gosman can. And we saw that
yesterday in the biggest moment.

Speaker 8 (13:07):
I think we we went them to their house and
we're super polite because we gave them a home run
on the first pitch.

Speaker 6 (13:12):
Like, how much more polite can you be?

Speaker 7 (13:13):
We brought them a housewarming gift, thanks for inviting us,
here's a bottle of wine.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Then we took some time and we got comfortable, like
I was polite of us.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah, it felt with me like Bryce Miller just
went in there like, hey, if you don't mind, I'm
just gonna take a real quick shower and some pajamas,
little this chill.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, and just just to retire, you won after the other.

Speaker 7 (13:31):
Bryce Miller was fantastic last night, and the Mariners do
get the win because of that. I mean, it was
sort of pitching dominance some I wrote it down last night,
so it's a little bit from memory because I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Have it in front of me. But what was it?

Speaker 7 (13:46):
They scored in four games thirty four runs against the Yankees,
and at fifty four hits in that series against the Yankees,
and yet here comes Bryce Miller on three days rest
and he hits allowed.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Over six innings.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
He retired I think seventeen of the last eighteen that
he faced in the contest. The entire group retired twenty
three of the last twenty four that they faced because
the relievers came in and went to nine out of
nine or something like that. Again, I jotted this down
last night. I should have kept that. But it was dominance,
certainly from the pitchers that we threw in the game.

(14:23):
I have one not that surprised. Even Bryce himself said
I was feeling strong and I got taken out after
fifty five pitches in that Tigers game. So even though
it was three days rest, it's not like he was
taxed the day before. I mean Trek's scooble. The Tigers
decided not to go with Trek scouble on three days
rest a couple of times, but he's thrown one hundred
and ten pitches. So Bryce Felt said he felt strong

(14:46):
in that game. That he was removed in Game number
four with the lead by the way, and then he
gets the call. I'm not surprised at all that his
mentality allowed him to rise to the occasion, even after
the home run that he gave up to start the game.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
This guy's just a really good pitcher.

Speaker 7 (15:04):
I know he didn't have a very good season, but
I think mostly he was battling a lot of injuries.
I think he was trying to pitch through those injuries
at the beginning of the year, and I'm not sure
he ever did get into a rhythm.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
But both he and Logan.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
Said after Game four, that's the best I've seen Bryce
look in a really long time. And so if Bryce
Miller's on his game, make no mistake about it.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
At the end of last season, and I'm not talking about.

Speaker 7 (15:31):
The last start of last season, the last two months
of last season he was our best pitcher. You can
look up the numbers. He was our best pitcher last
year in August and September. And so this dude not
only is very talented, very good and competes like competes
like the Dickens, but he also is somebody that he

(15:52):
is just cool customer as well. So I mean, yeah,
am I surprised that Jeter and a Rod and the
desk pick Kevin Gosman at.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Home to beat his No?

Speaker 7 (16:04):
You know, no, maybe I would have if pressed to it.
Maybe I think eight out of ten analysts probably take
the Blue Jays to win Game number one. But you
shouldn't be surprised. And if you are surprised, you don't
know Bryce Miller's makeup.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Yeah, you don't know Bryce Miller's makeup, and you can't.
I mean, it didn't irritate me when I saw what
the desk was doing, or just even how kind of
the narrative was heading the direction of it felt like
a lot of people were picking the Blue Jays definitely
in Game one. And because to me, it's like, if
you haven't watched this Mariner team, if you just looked

(16:40):
at Bryce Miller, you looked at his numbers, you're like, oh, dude,
I mean because I hear it all the time when
I'm doing the show or listening to sports talk radio.
If numbers being brought up and the numbers don't tell
the whole story. Bryce Miller is capable of going out
there and pitching like an ace. And that's saying something
because he's on the pitching staff that basically is full
of bass. And so yesterday, to me, the cool hand

(17:03):
that he kind of approaches, I think his competitive nature
with it's a little bit of a there is a
gun slinger. You've used the Clint Eastwood thing. I think
that's perfect, just kind of all right, go ahead, make
my day, let's see it. And when he wasn't feeling
real good, that's why his numbers look the way that
they have been. They that's why he ended up having
to go on the shelf. And if he was feeling

(17:26):
as good as he's felt all year, if Logan was saying, boy,
you look as good as you've looked all year, he
went out there at that moment and was like, you
know what, let's just go ahead and do what we
can do. He knew that the team was kind of spent.
As far as pitching goes, you go out there and
give it first pitch, Homer, you better settle in. It's
not one of those you know, middle of June games

(17:46):
where hey, dude, you're gonna have to wear it. We
just flat out don't have pictures. They weren't gonna do that,
and yet you didn't want to tax the pitching staff anymore.
And so he goes out, answers the bell and doesn't
just go four innings like they maybe were thinking, or
five innings, but six innings of shutout baseball or not
shut out shutout after that first home run. But I mean,

(18:06):
just an unbelievable performance by him, and then the guys
to come in after. I don't know for sure if
I felt better for an individual then gave Spire after
just a perfect ending out of him, considering how the
last two outings have went, and then Brash and Munios
do it, you know, piggyback right on top of that
and finished the deal.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
It was awesome.

Speaker 8 (18:23):
Yeah, it was good to see Spire especially come back
and have that because I remember on Friday too, when
he came back out, I was like, okay, here we go,
Like this is this is a good test for you.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
Can you do it and then when it gives it? Yeah,
And I was like, oh, that was rough.

Speaker 7 (18:37):
Well, one, two three last night twenty three of the
last twenty four. That's what they retired as a group, Miller, Spire,
Brash and Munios. And so three to one in the victory.
We've got a lot to discuss, a lot of different
angles to cover. But the Mariners are up one zero
and have gotten the American League Championship Series off to
a perfect start.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Let's find out what is on tap for two days show.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
What's on TEP, what's on TEP?

Speaker 7 (19:06):
Mariner's three Blue Jays on one to oer lead in
the ALCS. Ryan Healey's going to join us today at
nine o'clock to discuss that Game number two is today
at two pm. It'll be Logan Gilbert getting the start.
A lot of talk about there. We'll discuss that coming
up on the show today as well. If you didn't
stay with the postgame show, you might not have been

(19:26):
aware of that, and so it might come as a
surprise to you since.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
He did just pitch two days ago.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
But Logan Gilbert is getting the start tonight today against
the Blue Jays and they're going with rookie. This guy
doesn't even qualify as a rookie. This is how young
this guy is. This is how inexperienced this guy is.
Trey Is Savage is going to get the start for
the Blue Jays and we'll talk more about him later
in the show as well.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
But it's a two pm start. Game number two.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
NLCS gets started tonight as well, Game number one between
the Dodgers and the Brewers.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
They'll play it in Wisconsin. That's right.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
The Brewers had the best record in Major League Baseball
this year, so they will host this series and it
will begin at five o'clock. Seahawks twenty to twelve over
the Jacksonville Jaguars. And yes, this was a nice win
for Mike McDonald, what a bounce back for the defense,
Jackson Smith and Jigma continues to grow as one of
the best wide receivers in the National Football League.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
And we are not gonna short change it.

Speaker 7 (20:25):
I mean, we're not gonna go full two hours today
with our baseball team in the American League Championship Series.
But we will have Monday morning quarterback. We will have
Mike Holngrin, we will have Hugh Millen. They're just gonna
join us today from eight to nine, So a full
hour of breaking down this game.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
For you coming up starting at eight o'clock.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Rams won yesterday, forty nine Ers lost not only the
game but their best defensive player, Fred Warner, So that's
now Bosa and Warner out for the season for the
San Francisco forty nine Ers. Both the forty nine Ers
and Rams are four and two, so are the Seahawks
four and two. We got a look at the latest
week in the National Football League coming your way this

(21:04):
morning at six forty five cold Turkey sandwich aboard of scores.
We will put that into the show today at six
forty five. Two games and Monday night football Tonight Buffalo
at Atlanta and Chicago at Washington will play some Factor
fiction today at seven thirty five. College football Demand Williams
went off Friday night at the expense of Rutgers.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
They doubled up the nights thirty eight to nineteen.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
The final Williams over four hundred yards passing one hundred
and thirty six yards rushing, and u dub gets the win.
Oregon lost to Indiana over the weekend and Penn State
lost its third straight and fire James Franklin Sunday, So
a big shake up there in college football. The Kraken
has started their season at two to zero and they

(21:47):
will go on the road for the first time this
year to take on Montreal Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Looks like Everett.

Speaker 7 (21:53):
Al and the Gang will be in Toronto on Saturday,
so game number six. Potentially they could be there for that.
We saw Everett on the way out Friday night of
the stadium and hugged him before I realized, oh, you're
probably a little sad about this Detroit.

Speaker 8 (22:09):
Boy, although he also was like, yeah, I'm good either way. Really,
he's adopted the Mariners.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
All right.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
Mariners Morning After his next Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ RF three to one over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Time for Mariners Morning After, our Mariners postgame show. We've
done it for every game on Monday through Friday here
on Chuck and Buck in the Morning. A highlight, a
sound by the preview of what's going on tonight coming
your way in Mariner's Morning After, Ashley, Bucky Chuck with you,

(22:38):
and a lot to discuss from last night's game. The
Blue Jays get it off, Get Off on the right
start here, very first batter of the Alcs for Toronto,
George Springer, very first pitch hits a home run off
of Bryce Miller to take a one nothing lead, and
there was much joy in Canada.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
And then that was it.

Speaker 7 (22:59):
Bryce Miller kind of stole that joy out of their
mouth and turned it to ashes.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
You let him have it for the first inning, uh huh.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
And meanwhile we were waiting on our offense to come alive.
We squandered an opportunity to score ourselves in the very
first inning, something maybe we should talk about before the
end of the show here today. But in the sixth inning,
the guy that recently, right before the game started, from
what I understand, just signed to sign the papers he

(23:31):
now owns Canada. As it turns out, he's no longer
renting it or leasing. Yeah yeah, and so oh Cal
took him deep.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Right, he's cut out, dude. Tied the game in the six.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
It's the big Dumper when the Mariners need him most.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
One of the championship series, it's tied off. His national network.
Guys cannot wait to call him Big Dumper. They love it,
they love it. Tied it up at one apiece.

Speaker 7 (24:12):
Cal Rawley gets it started, and that was one heck
of a swing right there.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
That was dig deep, not just in the strike zone,
but in your heart.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah, well, I mean, is it is anyway surprise?
Is that part of stealing it? You haven't noticed the
guy do that before? Like it was in the drought,
and you know, basically kind of did things similar to
that to this exact same team to advance in the
wild card round. I mean that was one where considering
how tough runs were to come by on Friday, you know,

(24:43):
I mean we found a way in fifteen innings and
then you were kind of getting diced up. I mean,
Osman was going out there and outside of that first
inning that he wiggled off of the hook there without
giving anything up at that point, I don't.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Know how many to retire in a row, yeah, cal Homer.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
And so it just was one of those where you
start running into once you get over the halfway point,
you're like, Okay, we're getting fewer outs than we've already
given up or that we've already used. You could tell
that he just kind of was in that mode of
I gotta do something here, I got, I got, this
isn't a possibility that can have a bad ab and
I love the fact that he just sat on that

(25:21):
split finger. I mean, that was a pitch that everyone
was having trouble with, and that's why he's their ace.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Is that pitch he can throw.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
He can throw fastballs, and they're good enough fastballs ninety
five to ninety six, and then it's.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Tough to be able to hit both of those.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
You at times have to say, Okay, I'm gonna sell
out on one and hope to fight off another. And
I think that's what he ended up doing because it
wasn't a bad pitch. It was just a better swing.
And that's what you gotta do in playoff times. Every
once in a while you got to hit an actual
decent pitcher's pitch and square that bad way up.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
And he did it.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
Yeah, that was decent.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
That was decent. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
Before Gosman could get a gang from the game, he
walked to the next.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Batter, Julio Rodriguez.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
Then there was a huge, a wild pitch past Alejandro Kirk,
who some people think is gonna win the goal Glove
over cal this year. That seems like nonsense, but that
set Upjre Polonko to face a left handed reliever. Interesting
choice by there, John Schneider, because Polonko's been whipping up

(26:19):
on lefties for the entire second half of the season.
Sure enough, he beats Brendan Little to left field for
a base hit single. He has another RBI single in
the eighth for a three to one cushion. Turns out
it would be more than enough because of the Mariners
pitching yesterday. They allowed just two hits over nine innings.
Bryce Miller, he was responsible for six of those innings.

(26:41):
He was absolutely fantastic last night.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Here he is after the game.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
You know, first off, this was We've always talked about,
like sometimes maybe you should just skip your bullpen and
pitch on four days, and that's what we did this week.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
And so, you know, going into it, I felt good.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Fortunately, I through fifty five pitches I think in Detroit,
and so I was still felt fresh. And you know,
coming off of a fifteen inning game in Seattle two
nights ago, you know, I wanted to get deep and
give our bullpen a chance, and I was able to
do that. And then yeah, first pitch, first pitch home

(27:22):
run definitely not ideal, especially on the road. We also
joke pretty often that first pitch home run doesn't count, so.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
We're going with that didn't count.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
But no, I was after that. You know, we had
along at bat, twelve pitch at bat, ended up in
a walk, and made a lot of good pitches out
of bat, And yeah, the first inning went pretty long,
but I felt like I made some good pitches that
inning and had some stuff to build off of moving
forward and was able to settle down afterwards.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Through twenty seven pitches in the first.

Speaker 7 (27:58):
Inning, and the team, the four pitchers combined, had to
only throw one hundred pitches in the game last night.
I guess it's the lowest amount and a playoff win
since like twenty eighteen. So and when you consider he
through twenty seven in the first inning, so that means
that he threw seventy three the team through seventy three

(28:21):
over the course of eight games. That's nine pitches an inning.
I mean, that's mulling fools down right there.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Mm hm, well, I mean it's he did exactly what
we've watched him and the rest of these young studs
do as far as just kind of pounding the zone.
I mean last night when I heard him talk about
that they joke around about first pitch homers don't count,
so we're just gonna go with that. That's the epitome
of what they do. Like when they're rolling, they just

(28:48):
say here, it comes right, and then they get ahead
of you, and as a hitter, it's not a real
comfortable feeling. Is an individual and then he does it
to the guy behind you and the guy behind you
and does it next thing, you know, for nine innings
where it's just you're constantly put back where they're just
pounding the strike zone and coming after you. If you
end up running into one of those like George Springer did, Okay,

(29:08):
there you go. There's your one run and then you're
gonna go one for twenty eight the rest of the game.
How's that sound?

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (29:14):
I mean it's I mean the the switcheroo that Toronto
Blue Jay fans were feeling, where you start out as
well as you possibly can get out of that jam.
In the first inning, George Springer goes here, first pitch,
we're up one zero, and then you do nothing, absolutely
nothing offensively, from that point forward.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
I love it. Yeah, thank you Bryce.

Speaker 7 (29:34):
Game one win for the Mariners three to one. The
final score and so what's going on tonight. It'll be
a five o'clock start in Toronto. That's two o'clock for us,
So it's actually today. Logan Gilbert, if you haven't heard,
is going to get the start. He is only on
a couple days rest, pitch two plus innings Friday night
and that fifteen inning marathon, and so here he is

(29:56):
turning things around. Then, so you had Saturday rest, you
had Sunday rest, and then you have a month, and
so that's it. Two days rest, that's it. So he's
never thrown on that quick arrest. But then again, he
didn't throw that many innings on Friday, and he just
said it was just like a really cool bullpen with
a lot of people watching. That's how he's chalking it

(30:17):
up to. So Bryce Miller was supposed to be tired
and looked great. Logan Gilbert is kind of like Gumby,
So I'm expecting him to be just fine tonight and
we can talk about that. Coming up at seven o'clock.
The Blue Jays will be throwing Trey Yes Savage and
this is this guy that doesn't even qualify for Rookie
of the Year.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
That's how much of a rookie he is.

Speaker 7 (30:39):
He had just three starts during the regular season, but
he was so impressive in those starts that the Blue
Jays are like, you're our second best pitcher in our organization.
You're going to start Game two against the Yankees and
you're gonna no hit them, which is exactly what he did.
Five and a third innings. He no hit the New
York Yankees with eleven strikeouts. So good call on the
Blue Jay part. Let's see if we can get to

(31:01):
the youngster twenty two year old right hander getting the
start for the Jays, and we will talk about that
matchup at greater length coming up at seven oh five.
But man, we got an entire Seattle sports scene to
cover here this morning.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
We will have Monday Morning Quarterback for you.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
Only an hour today, only an hour with coach and
Hugh combined.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
From eight to nine.

Speaker 7 (31:21):
But there were games, of course across the league yesterday,
and so we deliver cold turkey sandwiches to everybody. A
board of scores comes your way next on Sports Radio
ninety three point three KJRFM.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
Third down A goal from the three trips left single
man right Holmes in the shot, done with Pacheck go
to his right side. Maholmes sends Pachecko in motion out
to the left. Here's the snaff. Maholme's back looking left,
looking little prost.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Bright wide open. It's caught touchdown, Hollywood Crown.

Speaker 7 (31:53):
That's not your real name, Hi, It's Chuck, Bou, Buggy, Jacobson,
Ashley Ryan with you. It is a frost brewed cool
Choose Chill Monday, counting you down to Monday Night Football tonight.
Two games tonight in Monday Night Football. And so we
will get you more information on that coming up here
in a little bit. Yes, mostly our show is going

(32:15):
to be about the Mariners, but we are going to
have an hour of NFL with our Monday Morning Quarterback crew,
and certainly we're going to deliver cold Turkey sandwich this morning.
Otherwise we wouldn't be playing this fantastic music. It's cold
Turkey Sandwich. A board of scores. Let's go through the
week in the National Football League. Bucky had to get
up early to watch one of the dreariest looking football

(32:38):
games of all time, and yet he ended up happy
because the Broncos did survive the New York Jets thirteen
to eleven. See that score a lot in football thirteen
to eleven. As a final, the Jets had minus ten
passing yards for the game.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Minus ten passing yards.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
That's not great.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Two's total yards in the game. Wow.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
Gross, that was an absolute disgusting game to watch all
the way around.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Just thank god. The Jets are so bad. Is Aaron
Glenn even gonna make it through his first year? I
think he will, I think you will.

Speaker 8 (33:10):
I'm just glad I nailed that pick that they'd win
more than five games.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
The Arizona Cardinals gave the Indianapolis Colts all they could handle,
even with a backup quarterback in Jacoby Brissett. But Brissett
was terrific three hundred and twenty passing yards, two touchdowns,
and yet the Cardinals still lose thirty one to twenty seven.
The Colts improved at five and one on the year.
They will next face the Los Angeles Chargers, who squeaked
out a game against a lost Miami team. Twenty nine

(33:39):
to twenty seven was the final score there. Miami actually
had the lead with forty six seconds left to play,
two of finding Darren Waller, who's turned back into a star,
for a touchdown, but they end up losing on a
Dicker field goal with five seconds remaining in the contest.
After the game, to called out pretty much as head
coach Mike McDaniels for his lack of leadership, saying that

(34:02):
many Dolphins players don't even show up for mandatory meetings
during the course of the week. The New England Patriots
are four and two on the year. They've defeated the
New Orleans Saints, and the Patriots seemed to be rolling
behind second your quarterback Drake May. The final score there
was twenty five nineteen Saints fall to one in five
Pittsburgh Steelers roughed up young Dylan Gabriel sacked them six times,

(34:24):
and they won it twenty three to nine over the
Cleveland Browns. The Steelers have a two and a half
game lead in their division right now.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, well, I mean it's I don't think saw what's
going on with the Ravens right out loud, but you know,
they they're they're coming together. I mean, it's the Steelers
are just you just can almost chalk it up. They're
never going to be horrible, even if they're not going
to be great, and they found a way against the
Browns and division game, which those are never easy.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Are the Ravens horrible? They're one and five?

Speaker 7 (34:50):
No Lamar yesterday, no chance. They do get a bye
week this week to try to heal. But a one
in five start for a team a lot of people
thought was gonna win the Super Bowl, people like me,
Seventeen to three the final score. The Rams improved to
four and two, but may have lost Pooka Nakua to
an injury. We shall see nothing devastating, but he did

(35:11):
leave and didn't come back. The Carolina Panthers. Don't look
now but break up the Panthers. They won thirty to
twenty seven over the Dallas Cowboys, the Rico dowtled revenge game.
He had one hundred and eighty three yards rushing and
fifty six yards receiving plus a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
The Cowboys fall to two three and one on the year.
Pete Gino.

Speaker 7 (35:31):
They snapped their four game losing streak by doubling up
the Tennessee Titans twenty to ten. The Green Bay Packers
twenty seven eighteen winners over the Cincinnati Bengals, who started
Joe Flacco after like forty eight hours as a Cincinnati
Bengal he was the starting quarterback on Sunday. Meanwhile, Josh
Jacob's two touchdown rushes despite having the flu. Apparently he

(35:53):
threw up like thirteen times yesterday, but he did race
the Packers to a win.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
They improved a three to one and one on.

Speaker 7 (35:59):
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the San Francisco forty nine
Ers thirty to nineteen beneath a hail of Mayfield MVP chants. Meanwhile,
the forty nine Ers fall to four and two and
have lost yet another veteran star, Fred Warner. Their Pro
Bowl linebacker is out for the season a gruesome injury

(36:20):
suffered yesterday to his ankle. And then Sunday night Kansas City,
Patrick Mawmes is back, maybe two hundred and fifty seven
yards passing three touchdowns and the Chiefs beat up on
a Lions team that had been playing great football thirty
to seventeen. The game ended, by the way with a
melee Brian Branch Sucker punching Juju Smith Schuster, then ripping
off his helmet and throwing.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Him to the ground.

Speaker 7 (36:43):
Branch probably going to get a suspension, which is the
last thing the Lions and their devastated secondary need right
now thirty seventeen. Chiefs are three and three, the Lions
are four and two. Two games of Monday Night football tonight.
Two games again next week as well, but at least
we get to be a part of a double header,
one and then the other. These two are going to
be lapped over one another. The Bills will play the

(37:04):
Falcons at four fifteen and the Bears will take on
the Commanders at five point fifteen. It's Jaden Daniels versus
Caleb Williams, the top two picks in the draft a
year ago, getting ready to square off on Monday Night football.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
All right, more.

Speaker 7 (37:17):
Football at eight o'clock coming up next though your headlines
and the Mariners looking to go up two to zero
in the ALCS is logan Gilbert ready to pitch. Sports
