this first play.

previous that off of spire.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Javier Baia is a big game yesterday he had four
runs knocked in for the Detroit Tigers, four of their nine.

couple of days. This is our third morning show here
in Michigan at iHeart Detroit. We got Ashley back at
(01:42):
the studio and we welcome you into our radio program.
We got a lot more Mariners to discuss here today.
They lost to the Tigers nine to three, and so
the series and the divisional round is even at two
games apiece, and that will kick off our headlines brought
to you byss Brewed Corpse Light, Choose Chill. Thanks to
(02:03):
Fox Sports for the highlights there, even though they were
low lights, the Tigers rallying from a three to nothing
deficit to even the series. Game number five will be
played at five our time Friday night. Trek Scooball will
go for them. Either George Kirby or Luis Castillo will
start the game for us. Something that we'll discuss in
(02:23):
greater detail later on this hour. The Toronto Blue Jays
eliminated the New York Yankees yesterday, and so the Blue
Jays just to wait the winner of Friday's game for
the American League Championship Series, and the Blue Jays, the
one seed in the American League, will host. They'll have
games one and two, Game six and seven there in
Canada the National League Divisional Series. They will both go
(02:45):
to a game four Philadelphia and the Cubs staying alive
yesterday in their respective series, and so they still trail
two games to one, but we're saying there's a chance
they could come back and advance to the NLCS. Kraken

the NFL week gets started with Thursday Night football. Philadelphia
Eagles will be in New York taking on the Giants,
and we'll have Friday night college football as the Huskies

Knights and David Softy Maller of course, so we'll get
things that started tomorrow with the Honks as we now welcome.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And isn't Jonah Coleman's run game. Well, here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
First of all, I was, like you, hoping to have
a black panther potty last night after that game. I
was going to celebrate, by the way, by drinking fifteen
Doctor Pepper's and that never happened. So I'm kind of
bummed out about even gotten shot in the butt. Talks
if that would have worked, Yeah, you know, absolutely, shoot
me in the ass for a win. You know what, Bucky,
Can I shoot you in the ass for a win?
(04:27):
Today or tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
It depends what you're shooting me with. How about a
BB gun right now? Sure take that for sure, even
maybe a repellet gun, a spit.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Wad, Okay, I'll definitely go spitwad.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, crossbow right in the ass.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Yeah, that's we're gonna go ahead and h pause on
that part.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Really.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Yeah, I'm gonna leave that one to George. I would
I would sacrifice that. I will go where Bucky will
not go. You want to shoot me in the ass
with a crossbow for a win tomorrow in game five,
I wouldn't and take it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's fine, Yeah, no problem at all.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
See, I wonder if I did right, Rob Manford, if
you yeah, I'd like to see that.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, you can have if I if that.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Guy, game five is off game one, you can play
the game, or we can shoot Saftie in the ass
with a crossbow.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'd take I'll take one for the Yeah, I'm not
I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
To talk to guys over and gals over at you
dub and putting the Mariner game on the Husky tron, uh,
because the Mariner game obviously starts at five and the
Husky game starts at six and that. I thought to myself, Well,
you can't really be playing the Mariner game on the
video board during the Husky game that starts at six.
And I said to myself, why not. Hell, we're not,
(05:39):
just throw them both on there. Let's be creative man
around here. Absolutely, let's do something that nobody's got the
balls or the guts to do because it's insane and
throw the Mariner game on the video board the entire day. Now,
I'm uh where we're off the here about four fifty
five tomorrow for a pregame show and then I'll scadadle
my my butt up to the press box and uh
(06:00):
and watched maybe the first two three innings of the
Mariner game in a corner by myself, bothered by nobody,
and then, uh, I don't know, pull a pulla Marty
Feldman and have one eye on the on the Husky
game while the other eye stays on the Mariner game.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Man, this is a crazy night, Remember Marty Feldman?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I do I do very by guy?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Are we just old and we know that name?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
And the average person has no idea who the hell
we're talking age? Do you know who Marty Feldman is?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
By the way, Probably, But not by I don't recognize
it by the way, you just saying this.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Show him a picture of Marty Feldman.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
And.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, Marty Feldman, he was in number frank the Frankenstein,
the mel Brooks Frankenstein. Yeah, yeah, know that those are
the kinds of eyes on need for tomorrow like a chameleon.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yeah yeah here over there.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah all right, Well, we've.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Spent the last couple of evenings being peppered with questions
about the Mariners from you. Let me just flip it
on the other side. I know we're gonna talk some
huskies here before the segment comes to a close. But
what was what was your feeling up three to nothing
and then watching it kind of dissolve between your fingers yesterday?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Just sadness, right, Just couldn't believe what I was watching
out of two guys that had been nails for us
for pretty much the entire season. I mean, that was
Bizardo's worst outing in two months, and it was Gabe
Spider's worst outing in a month, right, and they could
not have picked the worst time man to do that.
So I just completely bummed out watching that thing fall
apart yesterday. I mean, even down five to three, you're thinking, Okay,
(07:39):
you know the Tigers bullpen, we can get to them, right,
we got a shot, and then nope. It just it was,
you know, to quote another Tom Hanks movie, it was
like when he's on the raft and the island's getting
further and further away.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It was just further and further out of reach.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You know it just Hope just kept dying and dying
and dying.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
I honestly really believe, you know, even on five to three,
that these guys had a shot to come back and
win the game. But when Bizardo just did what he did,
Inspire and then Vargas later on and just forget about it, man,
they had no shot. And even offensively may have been
pressing a little bit. But I gotta be honest with you, man,
I mean, just the the the the pessimist in me,
I guess, the skeptic, the alarmist in me.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I got.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I started getting a little bit concerned, even in the
top of the fourth when they got one guy in,
when the bases were loaded. I just I mean, Bucky,
you know, Chuck, we talked about this yesterday, man, that
that was an opportunity to step on their throats and
finish them and the fourth inning last night and you
get one run in in a basis loaded, no out situation.
(08:42):
It almost feels like when you let opportunities like that
slip by, you eventually find a way to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And the Mariners did.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Yeah, well, I'm with you, dude. That was a huge moment.
I mean that you're up one zip, bases loaded, it
looks like the wheels are getting ready to come off.
They were wobbling, and he gets a good pitch. Victoria
has got a good pitch to do damage with it.
Then when I say damage, you find some outfield grass.
You're hitting a sackfly, preferably right center, move another guy over,
and you're going to put up a crooked number there,
(09:12):
and instead he somehow gets on top of a pitch
that's at the top of the zone. So I'm with
you there. Did you have any issues with the way
in which it was managed as far as Dan Wilson
in the pitching cheam, No, No.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Not really.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I want to, you know, I want to have an
issue with it. I want to be mad at Dan.
I want to be pissed off at the manager. I
want to say you're an idiot. You don't know what
the hell you're doing. You're a rookie, you got no clue.
The moment was too big for you. Blah blah blah.
I want to point a finger in somebody, you know,
as a fan, and I can't. I mean, I just again,
(09:46):
if I can't go to my best relievers in the
most high leverage moments of the baseball season, then when
can I go to them?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Right when?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Am I allowed to go to Cabe Spire and Bizardo
and Andres and Matt Brash if not for moments like that. So,
you know, when they went out there for the visit
and they left Bryce Miller out there, Bucky, I kind
of thought.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
To myself, oh man, let's just.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
See if that was a mistake and maybe not taking
him out one batter earlier. And it didn't really turn
out to me that that was the mistake obviously. I mean, look,
you know he could have gotten hammered in that inning,
just the way Gabe Spier did for all we know.
So no, to answer your question, I want to be
angry at somebody, and I just I can't.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I just thought it all made sense and it just sucked.
It didn't work out very well.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Said very well, said, all right, so who do you
start Game five? And then we'll get to some husky talk.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Yeah, I think I probably would go Luis Castillo. You know,
I know he's on what one day less rest than
George Kirby. I just for some reason, it's just a
gut feel, guys. You know, I mean matchups, all that stuff,
we can throw them out the window, and I just
feel like the veteran presence the rock, he's earned that nickname,
and I think he should get the ball in game
(11:04):
number five. And I mean, look, this would be the
fourth time that he's matched up against Scooble. Am I
am I right about that? That this is the he's
faced in my street, Yes, three times this year. Those yeah,
the numbers, I mean the first game, you know, early
in the year, seven innings, two runs, five innings, three runs,
and then four and two thirds in the early hook
in the playoff game. But you know, he's he's not
(11:25):
going to be overwhelmed by that moment. And look, I'm
not saying that George Kirby is either right. I'm not
sitting here saying that George Kirby, excuse me, is gonna
wilt in the moment and just fall apart. But I
think I just trust maybe Luis Castillo a little bit
more to get this done and give them what they
need on Friday and then the other part of the
equation guys for me, and we talked about this earlier
(11:48):
on your show. I think last month that who do
you kind of feel more comfortable with coming out.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Of the bullpen if you need one of them?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
And I think I feel more comfortable with Kirby coming
out of the bullpen then I do Luis Castillo, So
I would start Castillo. But you know, six to one
a half dozen, whatever Dan does, I'm not going to
throw a fit either way. I guess my question real
quick to you, guys, do we read anything into this
delay in naming a starter for game five, Like do
they truly know today who are their starter is going
(12:19):
to be? Or do we actually believe that they're still
tinkering with this decision.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I don't think they're tinkering with it. I think they're
just playing. Like I think they tell you Scoobles going
Game five, because we kind of knew that. It's almost like, yeah,
look at that, that's right, You're going up against one
of the best if not the best, definitely the best
left handed pitcher on the planet right now, I think.
But I think it's more like, why give them any
of the extra information, you know what I mean? And
then even when you do give them information, whoever it
(12:45):
is that we say is going to start, you have
no idea. It could be you could be saying Luis Castillo,
and you'd go out there and go one time through
the lineup, and then we're gonna go Kirby, and I'm
gonna have you go twice through the lineup, and then
we're going straight to Brash and Munos to finish that
thing out.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
I don't care long time.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I don't think that's a terrible description of what might happen.
And I think I think you are onto it, Softie.
I think it will be Castillo. He's gonna have full rest.
It's not like he's on three days where he's gonna
have just like Schooble. They're gonna have the exact same
amount of rest, and so it's going to be interesting.
But I do think they'll probably side with the veteran.
(13:21):
I know they were talking to George yesterday. I mean
I saw that downstairs. I don't know what they said,
But the coaches had George on their side of the hallway.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
He wasn't on the club outside.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And then when he left, you know, kind.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Of hat pulled over his eyes and sped out of
there because he didn't want to talk to any of us, understandably.
So so I know that they had a conversation with
him what they told him yesterday, I don't know. He
really kept a good poker face and just kind of
got the hell out of there.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
That's all I can tell you.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
Yeah, which doud mean anything, right, but I think all
of us agree that we would go with the rock.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
But we'll see.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, Softie is what it's all right. Let's I've been
our last couple of minutes here with you talking about
what we typically talk about, and that's some Lasties football.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So you got to have a little bit of revenge
in mind.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I mean, that was one of the low points last year,
in the first year of Jedfish to lose at Rutgers
in the way that you lost it. So to come
back from Maryland win that game an impossible fashion, a
little bit of momentum and how strongly do you feel
that they'll carry that momentum and a little bit of
that revenge in their gut into this game and have
a good night Friday night.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I think Jedfish is the master at not forgetting moments
that need to be remembered, and I think Rutgers is
one of them. A year ago, I mean, that was
a train wreck out there at Rutgers, right. I mean,
you look at the box scorer. They outscored Rutgers by
over two hundred yards. It was penalties, it was red zone,
it was miss field goals. Remember they had a guy
come off the sideline and negate a block field goal
(14:52):
that led to a touchdown for Rutgers in that game.
So they totally totally outplayed them. And a lot of
talk was going around about, hey, the sloppiness was due
to the fact that you had to fly three thousand
miles away from home. Well here comes Rutgers having to
fly three thousand miles away from home. And by the way,
I was told that they're leaving today, that they're not
(15:14):
coming out here a day early. They're coming out here,
you know, the day before the game. So we'll see
if that's the right decision by Rutgers. But here's the
thing about them that kind of scares me a little bit, man.
I mean, honestly, guys, I've got so much anks about
tomorrow's game at T Mobile Park. I don't have enough
freaking anks left in my body for this Husky game
tomorrow night at six pm. Okay, I mean, I'm hoping
(15:35):
to get my freaking voice back by three o'clock today,
if not two o'clock tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
But if I don't, I don't.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Rutgers has had two games this year against Minnesota and
Iowa where they were leading twenty eight to twenty four
in the fourth quarter and they pissed away both games.
That's how close they are to being five and zero. Okay,
So I think I think Rutgers is a scary good
three and two football team. I think you dub you know,
obviously back home after what happened a year ago against
(16:01):
these guys, it feels like the right time to play them,
right because if they were playing anybody else, if they're
playing a Purdue, Ucla, whatever, maybe the emotions of last
Saturday at Maryland are too much and they can't, you know,
just refocus. But I think when you have a team
coming in that beat you a year ago, and let's face.
It kind of embarrassed you, you know, with the way
(16:23):
you played out there, because you really just kind of
fell apart mentally and physically.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I think it's a great time to play Rutgers. I
really do well.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I think it'd be cool if you ended up having
to carry any angst. Let's just get you a blowout
over Rutgers so you don't have to even worry about that,
and then you know what, We're gonna look at this
glass half full. I mean, we always remember Game five
with everything on the line and the roller coaster ride
that this has been what better way to win this
series than to beat Schoobul again and maybe cal Raley
(16:53):
walks it off and off we watch David Softi Maler
do thirteen backflips Edgar Drive.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
I'd be, I'd be I'd be flipping down the stands
at the Husky Stadium if that happened.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I mean, that's the thing is that. Look, we've been
here before.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Man, it was the Arizona game a couple of years
ago with Jayden Delore I think at quarterback and Mitch
Haniger at the plate in the bottom of the ninth
that I'm on the air doing a halftime show for
the eighteen inning astro game. That obviously the not go
our way. But we've been here before where Husky Stadium
is packed for a baseball game down the road at
Tea Mobile, and everybody's got their phones out and they're
and they're following the game, and you can hear just
(17:30):
random roars on the crowd that don't match up at
all with the football game because people are going and
reacting to the baseball game. So it's gonna be a
crazy environment. Man, No doubt you guys are both going
to the game.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I know that. So just do the old man here
a favor and get me a stink and win tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Boys, God, we'll.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Do our very best even if we Yeah, you will.
You better bring it to you.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Hey, don't forget. Both of you were built for this moment,
both of you.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
All right, Yeah, neither of us want to pull the
trigger on that crossbow.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
But we'll figure out who's the best guy yourself.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
I will sacrifice my ass, which is nowhere near as
big as it used to be, by the way, so
it's gonna hurt. I'll pull the actute, you know what,
Get in line, Ashley.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
We could give away. We could give that away as
a prize, the best contest we've ever had, Softy in
the ass with a crush. Tell us what you should
be the winner?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
All right, Well, you know, I'm rooting for one thousands
and thousands and thousands of people and thousands and thousands
and thousands of reasons to get this Marin or win tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
But I think you getting it is at the top
of the list.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
So let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
All right, Softy, thanks man, there is the one, the
only David Softy Mally joining us here on Chuck and
Buck Factor Fiction coming up, Ashley's pick at seven thirty five.
More on that game five pitching Decision. Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ RFM, snow call me. Casino and
Hotel just stayed there for the first time on Friday night.
I can't recommend it highly enough. Oh Man, that's a
(19:00):
great staycation right there. Great staycation opportunity for you right there.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
I think that's I think the wife, you and area
going to do that.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, So thank you for making this trip or helping
make this trip possible.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It's been a good time in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Could have been a better time had we won yesterday
and we're coming home with a series victory and didn't
have to worry about sweating it out tomorrow night at
Tea Mobile. But you know what, if we would have
won yesterday, we wouldn't have the opportunity to win a
dramatic Game five at home, So, right, we just got
to look at it as glass half full and beat
schoobl tomorrow night at five o'clock. Factor fiction is coming
(19:35):
your way at seven thirty five Ashley's pick today, So
we'll give you a chance at one thousand dollars here
in four minutes. But let's talk about that Game five decision.
I was asked about it immediately after the game. Hadn't
really given a lot of thought. I just kind of
thought George Kirby was going to get the start. I mean,
if you're gonna make a plan to put together a rotation,
(19:55):
you had to think about the possibility of a game five.
And I don't know if they would have gone with
George Kirby game number one if they weren't thinking that's
who we want to pitch in game number five. It
had to enter the equation, right, And yet here I
sit this morning and having thought about it now for
the last twelve hours or so, and maybe I would
go with Castillo here, and for a lot of the
(20:16):
reasons that you brought up earlier, just maybe George Kirby
would be more effective coming out of the pen.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Well, I mean there's one thing for sure that I
would think is that Kerry Carpenter George Kirby, he's owned him, right,
and so when you start him, you know you're facing
him at least once and twice for sure if you
go past the third inning, right, and could even happen
in the second inning, if you don't go out there
and absolutely dice them up. I think there's a way
(20:46):
where if you were to go Castillo, because one, you're
just sticking to the trend. The trend is three different
games against Trek Scouble, you've won all three games when
you went with this matchup, Yeah, and that's part of
what it entered the equation. Yes, they were like George
Kirby Game one, we know it's probably gonna be against
a bullpen. It felt like a really good chance to
go out and win that one. And then it was
(21:07):
like and second and we get to go the rock
against their ace, and that's worked so far. I would
have a hard time thinking they're not gonna go They're
not gonna stick to that plan, right. I mean that's
just you think about superstition and sports and baseball players.
I have a hard time thinking they're gonna be like,
you know what, we've we've we've found a way to
win three games when the cy young winners. On the
(21:29):
other part, Aaron Levigne yesterday was telling me that no
other team has beaten Tarrek Schouble more than twice before.
The Mariners ended up doing it three times, and he
didn't get the losses and all of those, but the
gist of when he started, yes, And so I have
a hard time thinking that the superstitious side of Dan
Wilson and the entire organizations be you know what, Yeah,
(21:49):
it's worth three times. Let's try something different. Let's go
with just the rotation of normal rest and whatnot, and
go with George. Plus, I think the youth of George Kirby,
he's less set in his ways as a starter. Not
that he hadn't been a starter his whole darned life,
but I think if you say, hey, we're going Luis
Castillo and we're gonna ride that one for as long
(22:11):
as we should with a quick hook, knowing that we
can go George, you're getting loose. You're getting loose, and
you're coming in and we're gonna ride you. And you
could also bring him in right after a carry Carpenter goes.
He might be able to get to possibly two plus
innings out of him before you want to go bang
bang with maybe the back end of your bullpen.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, the only thing that I would say about that
is I gotta have like a buffer in between there.
I don't want George Kirby coming in relief, pitching for
the first time and in the middle of the inning
with traffic on the base paths. So if Castillo, for example,
got in any trouble, then I gotta have a little
buffer in between. I gotta have a reliever who's done
(22:48):
that before that comes in and gets you out of
the inning. I want George if he is in relief,
he's pitching a fresh inning at the beginning. So maybe
that's four and a third again from Castillo Spire. I
know he failed yesterday, but he's gotten Carpenter out every
time he's faced him in this series.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Then he comes in and pitches two thirds, gets you
out of that inning.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Kirby starts fresh in the fifth, and then you got
Brash and Munios that can come in as early as
the whenever you need. Munyos can go too. He can
get you six outs tomorrow, Brash can go two innings.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Neither one of them pitched in the game, so even they.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And Brash wasn't didn't experience any toil the night before
thirteen pitches, So even if you have to, they can
go four combined innings if you need them to. If
you don't want to trust Spire or Bizardo the day
after they or two days after they got lit up
for the first time in quite some time.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So yeah, there's a way to go about it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But I think we've all, at least you and I
have kind of resigned ourselves to maybe Castillo is the
better choice here to start Friday against Trek Scooball.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
All right, let's play some factor fiction. Where's that to go?
Glad you're with us?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
tenth one thousand dollar grand price. It's fact door fiction,
probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every
day Feels Lucky. Fact door fiction is on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
All right, every day, four times a day, a chance
for you to become eligible to win one thousand dollars
in cash by playing some fact or fiction with us.
And today on the Chucking Buck Radio program, we turn
things over.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
To Ashley Ryan.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
She got the pick correct on Monday or a first
place team, It's been a team effort here.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
No selfish people on this on this team, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You know all the other shows they can sit there
and they don't look out for each other.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
We do.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, we when they suck, oh for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So don't suck, Ashley, and we won't even have to
cross that bridge.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
All right, Where are you gonna go with your pick today?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Well, we are going to go look at some college football.
We've got a big game happening in Eugene on Saturday.
I guess it's ok there, Indiana Hoosiers heading there to
face the Oregon Ducks. And I don't know if you
guys have seen either of these teams play lately, but
they like to score some points.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well for the most part.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
We've got a couple exceptions in there, but I don't
think this is going to be a low scoring game.
I think this is going to be a pretty high
scoring game. The over under fifty five.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Give me the over.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Wow, fifty five pretty big numbers, all right, the over
fifty five in the Oregon Indiana game.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
We have some potent offenses.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
So what that means, if you're not familiar with gambling,
is that the two teams combined have to score fifty
six points or more in order for Ashley to be right.
So think about that. That's a twenty nine twenty seven game.
You know, that's a thirty twenty seven game. You know
that sort of thing. That's what you're looking for. It's
(26:00):
not that high scoring.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Ah yeah, that's that's probably on part.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
There's a reason that Vegas builds giant hotels. They usually
find the right number. And so over fifty five points
is what Ashley's going to bet on, and that's what
you will perform off of. If you agree with the selection,
you're gonna go ahead and text fact fact to four nine,
four five one. If you disagree with the pick, you
(26:23):
think this is going to be a low scoring sucker,
you're gonna go four nine four five to one with
fiction fiction to four nine four five one, so you
only have to remember one number four nine four five
one and two words fact or fiction based on whether
you agree with Ashley's pick or you disagree. If you're right,
we enter your name into a drawing at the end
of the week for one thousand dollars in cash. There
(26:44):
will be several names in that hopper, and yet the
more often that you're right during the course of the week,
the more times you get your name into that hopper,
so weigh it to your advantage. If you've never played before, hey,
you only got to get in once to have a
shot at one thousand dollars in cash. All provided by
Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. We're going twenty four every
(27:08):
Friday and Saturday. Twenty four hour gaming starts right November seventh,

Speaker 1 (27:31):
If you get it right enough.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
This year playing Factor Fiction, ten thousand dollars jackpot awaits
the winner of this season. So yeah, there are a
lot of reasons for you to play factor fiction every
time we play it here on KJAR. Your next opportunity
comes with MJ and the Midday and Christopher Kid coming
up at eleven thirty five this morning for our part
in the entire enterprise. Ashley today is saying that Indiana
(27:57):
and Oregon, two top ten teams, when they meet on Saturday,
are going to score fifty six points or more. Fact
if you agree to four nine four five to one fiction.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
If you disagree coming up, you're getting your bounce back
or we're getting your texts. You're just not getting the
bounce back.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Okay, I'm really tired of saying to you all right,
coming up next year on the radio program, what was
Josh Naylor up to yesterday? In Many Ways Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ RFM.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
What are you trying to do there? From a gamesmanship
standpoint at.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
That point, just hope the hitter up didn't I say
anything to you?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Have to the one it looked like you kind of
turned around and was no, I.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Don't really pay attention to anyone but my teammates on
the field.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
To be honest, man's this is this.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You're trying to win the game in any way possible.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
It's perfectly legal.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
That's that's why you do it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
That's something like good Ben scouting? Is that? Like? How
do you take up on cubes? Where does that come from?
Watching the game?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
There's nobody liked it, he laughs, really hard love it.
It's Jugabuck of the morning Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ r FM. That was the voice of Josh
Naylor in between all of those nosy media members.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Gosh, are nosy? Aren't they got mind your own business?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Levine Divish was in there, so nosy.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Daniel Kramer was probably in there, Nico.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
Gosh constantly, who do you guys think you are?
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Right? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Josh Naylor had a very interesting I mean he's had
a very interesting week. And he's already a very interesting
guy to begin with. I don't think there's another player
like him in baseball kind of the way he approaches things.
I mean, he's the grittiest guy on the field and
the flashiest guy on the field. Those two things don't
go together, not typically, No, and yet that's Josh Naylor
(29:54):
for you. He was wearing a you know, a belt
from space the last couple of days to celebrate his
newborn son.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
It's correction, it was a belt of space.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It was space.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, I I floated that theory out there that could
have been space. It could it could operate. If anybody
has space just wrapped around their waist, it's Josh Naylor.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, I think that's that's why he feels so global.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yep, yeah, but yeah, galactic even.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
But what an interesting day.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Part of it was that, I guess and the broadcast
people are going on and on and on about him
blatantly stealing signs and relaying that information to Mariner's hitters,
and so that's what all of those nosy reporters were
trying to get out of Josh Naylor.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Were you doing that? Why you were doing that? And
he's like, yes, I was doing that. Why was I
doing it?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Because it helps my teammates and I don't care about
the opponent, And so.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, he was doing it.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
You weren't really real clever if you picked up on it,
because he was making it blatantly obvious out there.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
He was practically like.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Paul, I'll tuck, you know, he's practically screaming it to
his teammates. And yet it's not the first guy. People
been doing this all season long. Even Lovable whistle Teeth
Aaron Judge does it. He relays it to his teammates
when he has feels like he's got the information that
he needs. So I don't know if I like it
(31:26):
in our sport to.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Be that blatant.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
But it's not something that Josh Naylor invented yesterday. So
I don't know why former baseball players were all worked
up about it during the broadcast.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Well, I mean, you're talking to guys who back in
the those guys that are calling the game win right
and Prazinski. It used to be that you it was
part of the game. It was the gamesmanship of if
you could take the signs, if the catcher wasn't good
enough at hiding the signs, what fingers he's putting down
that you could relay that to your hitter. What's not
(31:58):
against the rules. It's not breaking the rules. It's just
you better be discreet about it, because back then you
do it, we'll put one in somebody's ribcage. And now
you don't have that, and so the only thing you
could be picking up unless the short stops standing so
close that you hear what the call is from his
Pitchcolm location. The only thing that he was doing was
(32:21):
he was putting his right arm out. He's setting up inside.
He's put his left arm out. He's setting up outside
to a right handed guy. And I saw him and
put his hand over his head like he set up
right down the middle. That's you're just giving him location
on it. And ultimately, you can't get too terribly mad
if you're the pitcher or the opponent, if your catcher
setting up too soon, right, if you see him doing it,
(32:43):
set up later, I mean, that's really you can correct that,
just like you could correct if they've picked up your
signs back when people were putting fingers down. So to me,
I mean, if that doesn't speak volumes as to how
grit he is, I don't care if you like it.
I ain't paying attention to you. You set up inside,
telling my dude, he's set up inside. Now obviously it's
still you don't know what pitch is coming, you know
(33:05):
what I mean? He was he was, I mean, unless he.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
But it does still give an indication. If Geno sees
he's pointing outside, Geno's probably thinking something soft in away,
I would imagine, well, yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
He could be things. Really it's just okay, well I'm
gonna lean on this one.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
If he throws it where he wants, I'm leaning on it.
So if it's I'm still time of fastball, good And
if it's off speed, fine, I'm just leaning on it.
When you if you know it's inside, I'm gonna ready
open the floodgates. If he's coming in. Typically that's not
going to be soft in. And so yes, you have
you have a tendency to think it's giving you some information.
And to me, I mean, I'm way more old school.
(33:44):
But if you're not gonna play old school baseball, if
that just isn't the way it is.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Plus it's playoffs, so you don't really want to risk
putting a guy on base just to settle a.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Score, right, So if you're not, if that, if that
part of the game is out of it, then play
that part.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I just really liked that.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
The announcers, like I don't know if it was Prazinski
or Wayne Wright, but one of them was like, what
is he doing? And then when he was told, well,
you know, like I've never seen it so obvious, and
the other guy was like, well, clearly you haven't watched
many games this year, because it's been obvious all season long.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Yeah, he does it all the time.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Yeah, well, and it's not just but it's not just him,
like all over He's like he was saying, like it's
been all over baseball this year, and so I just
thought that was funny because I was like, I don't
watch a ton of other games other than Mariners games,
and I knew this was happening, So how is it
that somebody who's paid to be an analyst in this
game hasn't seen this before.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I didn't hear it, but I would imagine it was
Waynwright that was like, I can't believe he's doing that
because he's a pitcher.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah maybe I can't.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Believe anybody would be stealing my signs so obviously and
relaying it to him.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
And Pierzinsky's like, that's been unappening for a long time.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Yeah, yeah, just to be called out, like we haven't
watched many games this year.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Then the other thing about Naylor, I don't know if
anybody picked up on this, and it's really not important
the grand scheme of things, but At one point he
had retired six outs in a row on ground balls
to first base. Like six outs in a row, six
consecutive outs were recorded by the Mariners pitchers on ground
(35:14):
balls to first base. I'll bet you that's never happened.
I'll bet you in the history of baseball, there weren't
six assists slash putouts recorded on ground balls to the
first basement in succession to record out.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Yeah, he had some good plays. He's heads up player,
tagging the runner and then tagging the base. He did
a lot of good things, and that's good coming off
of the one mistake that we've seen him make defensively
that was costly back earlier in this years.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Turns out having a baby makes you a magnet for
ground balls. I mean the things that they don't teach
you in school. Yeah, yeah, I would have that information
could have come in handy.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Could it. Yeah, you'd had a baby sooner.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Well, I'm just saying like that would have been nice
to know. Yeah, it would have been nice for it college.
You could have really made something of yourself.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, thanks a lot, mister Musgrave. I could have used
that in the eighth grade. Yeah, he totally dropped the
ball in.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
That one really failed me in sex ed all Right?
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Coming up next, an entire Mariner's Hour for you. We'll
start with WTF Happened Yesterday?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
We'll move into the AB season.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Before the hour is over, you'll hear from Logan Gilbert
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
Raleigh in the right field. That's down for a base hit.
A Rose Arena is getting the wave home.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
He's gonna come around and score Raleigh with another RBI
in Detroit and it's three and nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Seattle back up the middle of the Pasha.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Tabim Jones will score Bis halfway between first and second.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Don't go back with an n fiance signal TI Tan
Game four.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
The offense for the Tigers has been dead, no energy, nothing.
The one homer by cart Carpenter really was the only
life that they had shown. And then all of a sudden,
a five spot real quick, and now two more by
this first play.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Four run in eight years.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
That's puffing shiny.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Hot top bot four.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
All that before the crack of the back basically yeah wow.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Immediately as the as it was making contact with the back, Yeah,
it was pretty obvious he almost had won out the
previous that off of spire.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Javier Baia is a big game yesterday he had four
runs knocked in for the Detroit Tigers, four of their nine.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And yes, they ruined our.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Black Panther party yesterday that we were going to throw
chuck and buck in the morning by winning this series
and flying home and saying to all of Seattle, you're welcome.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
We got it done for you.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Instead, we only were able to get one done here
in Detroit, but we will fly home today, be back
in time for game number five in Seattle on Friday.
Bucky Jacobson's here. My name is Chuck Powell. We are
broadcasting live from Detroit, Michigan. We have for the last
couple of days. This is our third morning show here
in Michigan at iHeart Detroit. We got Ashley back at
(01:42):
the studio and we welcome you into our radio program.
We got a lot more Mariners to discuss here today.
They lost to the Tigers nine to three, and so
the series and the divisional round is even at two
games apiece, and that will kick off our headlines brought
to you byss Brewed Corpse Light, Choose Chill. Thanks to
(02:03):
Fox Sports for the highlights there, even though they were
low lights, the Tigers rallying from a three to nothing
deficit to even the series. Game number five will be
played at five our time Friday night. Trek Scooball will
go for them. Either George Kirby or Luis Castillo will
start the game for us. Something that we'll discuss in
(02:23):
greater detail later on this hour. The Toronto Blue Jays
eliminated the New York Yankees yesterday, and so the Blue
Jays just to wait the winner of Friday's game for
the American League Championship Series, and the Blue Jays, the
one seed in the American League, will host. They'll have
games one and two, Game six and seven there in
Canada the National League Divisional Series. They will both go
(02:45):
to a game four Philadelphia and the Cubs staying alive
yesterday in their respective series, and so they still trail
two games to one, but we're saying there's a chance
they could come back and advance to the NLCS. Kraken
Opening Day is tonight. We'll be taking on the Anaheim
Mighty Ducks blue carpet ceremonies all day long as the
(03:07):
twenty twenty five twenty twenty six season gets started from

the NFL week gets started with Thursday Night football. Philadelphia
Eagles will be in New York taking on the Giants,
and we'll have Friday night college football as the Huskies

things that started tomorrow with the Honks as we now welcome.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And isn't Jonah Coleman's run game. Well, here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
First of all, I was, like you, hoping to have
a black panther potty last night after that game. I
was going to celebrate, by the way, by drinking fifteen
Doctor Pepper's and that never happened. So I'm kind of
bummed out about even gotten shot in the butt. Talks
if that would have worked, Yeah, you know, absolutely, shoot
me in the ass for a win. You know what, Bucky,
Can I shoot you in the ass for a win?
(04:27):
Today or tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
It depends what you're shooting me with. How about a
BB gun right now? Sure take that for sure, even
maybe a repellet gun, a spit.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Wad, Okay, I'll definitely go spitwad.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, crossbow right in the ass.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Yeah, that's we're gonna go ahead and h pause on
that part.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Really.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Yeah, I'm gonna leave that one to George. I would
I would sacrifice that. I will go where Bucky will
not go. You want to shoot me in the ass
with a crossbow for a win tomorrow in game five,
I wouldn't and take it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's fine, Yeah, no problem at all.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
See, I wonder if I did right, Rob Manford, if
you yeah, I'd like to see that.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, you can have if I if that.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Guy, game five is off game one, you can play
the game, or we can shoot Saftie in the ass
with a crossbow.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'd take I'll take one for the Yeah, I'm not
I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
To talk to guys over and gals over at you
dub and putting the Mariner game on the Husky tron, uh,
because the Mariner game obviously starts at five and the
Husky game starts at six and that. I thought to myself, Well,
you can't really be playing the Mariner game on the
video board during the Husky game that starts at six.
And I said to myself, why not. Hell, we're not,
(05:39):
just throw them both on there. Let's be creative man
around here. Absolutely, let's do something that nobody's got the
balls or the guts to do because it's insane and
throw the Mariner game on the video board the entire day. Now,
I'm uh where we're off the here about four fifty
five tomorrow for a pregame show and then I'll scadadle
my my butt up to the press box and uh
(06:00):
and watched maybe the first two three innings of the
Mariner game in a corner by myself, bothered by nobody,
and then, uh, I don't know, pull a pulla Marty
Feldman and have one eye on the on the Husky
game while the other eye stays on the Mariner game.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Man, this is a crazy night, Remember Marty Feldman?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I do I do very by guy?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Are we just old and we know that name?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
And the average person has no idea who the hell
we're talking age? Do you know who Marty Feldman is?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
By the way, Probably, But not by I don't recognize
it by the way, you just saying this.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Show him a picture of Marty Feldman.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
And.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, Marty Feldman, he was in number frank the Frankenstein,
the mel Brooks Frankenstein. Yeah, yeah, know that those are
the kinds of eyes on need for tomorrow like a chameleon.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yeah yeah here over there.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah all right, Well, we've.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Spent the last couple of evenings being peppered with questions
about the Mariners from you. Let me just flip it
on the other side. I know we're gonna talk some
huskies here before the segment comes to a close. But
what was what was your feeling up three to nothing
and then watching it kind of dissolve between your fingers yesterday?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Just sadness, right, Just couldn't believe what I was watching
out of two guys that had been nails for us
for pretty much the entire season. I mean, that was
Bizardo's worst outing in two months, and it was Gabe
Spider's worst outing in a month, right, and they could
not have picked the worst time man to do that.
So I just completely bummed out watching that thing fall
apart yesterday. I mean, even down five to three, you're thinking, Okay,
(07:39):
you know the Tigers bullpen, we can get to them, right,
we got a shot, and then nope. It just it was,
you know, to quote another Tom Hanks movie, it was
like when he's on the raft and the island's getting
further and further away.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It was just further and further out of reach.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You know it just Hope just kept dying and dying
and dying.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
I honestly really believe, you know, even on five to three,
that these guys had a shot to come back and
win the game. But when Bizardo just did what he did,
Inspire and then Vargas later on and just forget about it, man,
they had no shot. And even offensively may have been
pressing a little bit. But I gotta be honest with you, man,
I mean, just the the the the pessimist in me,
I guess, the skeptic, the alarmist in me.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I got.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I started getting a little bit concerned, even in the
top of the fourth when they got one guy in,
when the bases were loaded. I just I mean, Bucky,
you know, Chuck, we talked about this yesterday, man, that
that was an opportunity to step on their throats and
finish them and the fourth inning last night and you
get one run in in a basis loaded, no out situation.
(08:42):
It almost feels like when you let opportunities like that
slip by, you eventually find a way to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And the Mariners did.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Yeah, well, I'm with you, dude. That was a huge moment.
I mean that you're up one zip, bases loaded, it
looks like the wheels are getting ready to come off.
They were wobbling, and he gets a good pitch. Victoria
has got a good pitch to do damage with it.
Then when I say damage, you find some outfield grass.
You're hitting a sackfly, preferably right center, move another guy over,
and you're going to put up a crooked number there,
(09:12):
and instead he somehow gets on top of a pitch
that's at the top of the zone. So I'm with
you there. Did you have any issues with the way
in which it was managed as far as Dan Wilson
in the pitching cheam, No, No.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Not really.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I want to, you know, I want to have an
issue with it. I want to be mad at Dan.
I want to be pissed off at the manager. I
want to say you're an idiot. You don't know what
the hell you're doing. You're a rookie, you got no clue.
The moment was too big for you. Blah blah blah.
I want to point a finger in somebody, you know,
as a fan, and I can't. I mean, I just again,
(09:46):
if I can't go to my best relievers in the
most high leverage moments of the baseball season, then when
can I go to them?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Right when?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Am I allowed to go to Cabe Spire and Bizardo
and Andres and Matt Brash if not for moments like that. So,
you know, when they went out there for the visit
and they left Bryce Miller out there, Bucky, I kind
of thought.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
To myself, oh man, let's just.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
See if that was a mistake and maybe not taking
him out one batter earlier. And it didn't really turn
out to me that that was the mistake obviously. I mean, look,
you know he could have gotten hammered in that inning,
just the way Gabe Spier did for all we know.
So no, to answer your question, I want to be
angry at somebody, and I just I can't.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I just thought it all made sense and it just sucked.
It didn't work out very well.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Said very well, said, all right, so who do you
start Game five? And then we'll get to some husky talk.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Yeah, I think I probably would go Luis Castillo. You know,
I know he's on what one day less rest than
George Kirby. I just for some reason, it's just a
gut feel, guys. You know, I mean matchups, all that stuff,
we can throw them out the window, and I just
feel like the veteran presence the rock, he's earned that nickname,
and I think he should get the ball in game
(11:04):
number five. And I mean, look, this would be the
fourth time that he's matched up against Scooble. Am I
am I right about that? That this is the he's
faced in my street, Yes, three times this year. Those yeah,
the numbers, I mean the first game, you know, early
in the year, seven innings, two runs, five innings, three runs,
and then four and two thirds in the early hook
in the playoff game. But you know, he's he's not
(11:25):
going to be overwhelmed by that moment. And look, I'm
not saying that George Kirby is either right. I'm not
sitting here saying that George Kirby, excuse me, is gonna
wilt in the moment and just fall apart. But I
think I just trust maybe Luis Castillo a little bit
more to get this done and give them what they
need on Friday and then the other part of the
equation guys for me, and we talked about this earlier
(11:48):
on your show. I think last month that who do
you kind of feel more comfortable with coming out.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Of the bullpen if you need one of them?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
And I think I feel more comfortable with Kirby coming
out of the bullpen then I do Luis Castillo, So
I would start Castillo. But you know, six to one
a half dozen, whatever Dan does, I'm not going to
throw a fit either way. I guess my question real
quick to you, guys, do we read anything into this
delay in naming a starter for game five, Like do
they truly know today who are their starter is going
(12:19):
to be? Or do we actually believe that they're still
tinkering with this decision.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I don't think they're tinkering with it. I think they're
just playing. Like I think they tell you Scoobles going
Game five, because we kind of knew that. It's almost like, yeah,
look at that, that's right, You're going up against one
of the best if not the best, definitely the best
left handed pitcher on the planet right now, I think.
But I think it's more like, why give them any
of the extra information, you know what I mean? And
then even when you do give them information, whoever it
(12:45):
is that we say is going to start, you have
no idea. It could be you could be saying Luis Castillo,
and you'd go out there and go one time through
the lineup, and then we're gonna go Kirby, and I'm
gonna have you go twice through the lineup, and then
we're going straight to Brash and Munos to finish that
thing out.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
I don't care long time.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I don't think that's a terrible description of what might happen.
And I think I think you are onto it, Softie.
I think it will be Castillo. He's gonna have full rest.
It's not like he's on three days where he's gonna
have just like Schooble. They're gonna have the exact same
amount of rest, and so it's going to be interesting.
But I do think they'll probably side with the veteran.
(13:21):
I know they were talking to George yesterday. I mean
I saw that downstairs. I don't know what they said,
But the coaches had George on their side of the hallway.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
He wasn't on the club outside.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And then when he left, you know, kind.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Of hat pulled over his eyes and sped out of
there because he didn't want to talk to any of us, understandably.
So so I know that they had a conversation with
him what they told him yesterday, I don't know. He
really kept a good poker face and just kind of
got the hell out of there.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
That's all I can tell you.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
Yeah, which doud mean anything, right, but I think all
of us agree that we would go with the rock.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
But we'll see.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, Softie is what it's all right. Let's I've been
our last couple of minutes here with you talking about
what we typically talk about, and that's some Lasties football.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So you got to have a little bit of revenge
in mind.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I mean, that was one of the low points last year,
in the first year of Jedfish to lose at Rutgers
in the way that you lost it. So to come
back from Maryland win that game an impossible fashion, a
little bit of momentum and how strongly do you feel
that they'll carry that momentum and a little bit of
that revenge in their gut into this game and have
a good night Friday night.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I think Jedfish is the master at not forgetting moments
that need to be remembered, and I think Rutgers is
one of them. A year ago, I mean, that was
a train wreck out there at Rutgers, right. I mean,
you look at the box scorer. They outscored Rutgers by
over two hundred yards. It was penalties, it was red zone,
it was miss field goals. Remember they had a guy
come off the sideline and negate a block field goal
(14:52):
that led to a touchdown for Rutgers in that game.
So they totally totally outplayed them. And a lot of
talk was going around about, hey, the sloppiness was due
to the fact that you had to fly three thousand
miles away from home. Well here comes Rutgers having to
fly three thousand miles away from home. And by the way,
I was told that they're leaving today, that they're not
(15:14):
coming out here a day early. They're coming out here,
you know, the day before the game. So we'll see
if that's the right decision by Rutgers. But here's the
thing about them that kind of scares me a little bit, man.
I mean, honestly, guys, I've got so much anks about
tomorrow's game at T Mobile Park. I don't have enough
freaking anks left in my body for this Husky game
tomorrow night at six pm. Okay, I mean, I'm hoping
(15:35):
to get my freaking voice back by three o'clock today,
if not two o'clock tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
But if I don't, I don't.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Rutgers has had two games this year against Minnesota and
Iowa where they were leading twenty eight to twenty four
in the fourth quarter and they pissed away both games.
That's how close they are to being five and zero. Okay,
So I think I think Rutgers is a scary good
three and two football team. I think you dub you know,
obviously back home after what happened a year ago against
(16:01):
these guys, it feels like the right time to play them,
right because if they were playing anybody else, if they're
playing a Purdue, Ucla, whatever, maybe the emotions of last
Saturday at Maryland are too much and they can't, you know,
just refocus. But I think when you have a team
coming in that beat you a year ago, and let's face.
It kind of embarrassed you, you know, with the way
(16:23):
you played out there, because you really just kind of
fell apart mentally and physically.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I think it's a great time to play Rutgers. I
really do well.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I think it'd be cool if you ended up having
to carry any angst. Let's just get you a blowout
over Rutgers so you don't have to even worry about that,
and then you know what, We're gonna look at this
glass half full. I mean, we always remember Game five
with everything on the line and the roller coaster ride
that this has been what better way to win this
series than to beat Schoobul again and maybe cal Raley
(16:53):
walks it off and off we watch David Softi Maler
do thirteen backflips Edgar Drive.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
I'd be, I'd be I'd be flipping down the stands
at the Husky Stadium if that happened.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I mean, that's the thing is that. Look, we've been
here before.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Man, it was the Arizona game a couple of years
ago with Jayden Delore I think at quarterback and Mitch
Haniger at the plate in the bottom of the ninth
that I'm on the air doing a halftime show for
the eighteen inning astro game. That obviously the not go
our way. But we've been here before where Husky Stadium
is packed for a baseball game down the road at
Tea Mobile, and everybody's got their phones out and they're
and they're following the game, and you can hear just
(17:30):
random roars on the crowd that don't match up at
all with the football game because people are going and
reacting to the baseball game. So it's gonna be a
crazy environment. Man, No doubt you guys are both going
to the game.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I know that. So just do the old man here
a favor and get me a stink and win tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Boys, God, we'll.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Do our very best even if we Yeah, you will.
You better bring it to you.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Hey, don't forget. Both of you were built for this moment,
both of you.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
All right, Yeah, neither of us want to pull the
trigger on that crossbow.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
But we'll figure out who's the best guy yourself.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
I will sacrifice my ass, which is nowhere near as
big as it used to be, by the way, so
it's gonna hurt. I'll pull the actute, you know what,
Get in line, Ashley.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
We could give away. We could give that away as
a prize, the best contest we've ever had, Softy in
the ass with a crush. Tell us what you should
be the winner?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
All right, Well, you know, I'm rooting for one thousands
and thousands and thousands of people and thousands and thousands
and thousands of reasons to get this Marin or win tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
But I think you getting it is at the top
of the list.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
So let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
All right, Softy, thanks man, there is the one, the
only David Softy Mally joining us here on Chuck and
Buck Factor Fiction coming up, Ashley's pick at seven thirty five.
More on that game five pitching Decision. Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ RFM, snow call me. Casino and
Hotel just stayed there for the first time on Friday night.
I can't recommend it highly enough. Oh Man, that's a
(19:00):
great staycation right there. Great staycation opportunity for you right there.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
I think that's I think the wife, you and area
going to do that.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, So thank you for making this trip or helping
make this trip possible.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It's been a good time in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Could have been a better time had we won yesterday
and we're coming home with a series victory and didn't
have to worry about sweating it out tomorrow night at
Tea Mobile. But you know what, if we would have
won yesterday, we wouldn't have the opportunity to win a
dramatic Game five at home, So, right, we just got
to look at it as glass half full and beat
schoobl tomorrow night at five o'clock. Factor fiction is coming
(19:35):
your way at seven thirty five Ashley's pick today, So
we'll give you a chance at one thousand dollars here
in four minutes. But let's talk about that Game five decision.
I was asked about it immediately after the game. Hadn't
really given a lot of thought. I just kind of
thought George Kirby was going to get the start. I mean,
if you're gonna make a plan to put together a rotation,
(19:55):
you had to think about the possibility of a game five.
And I don't know if they would have gone with
George Kirby game number one if they weren't thinking that's
who we want to pitch in game number five. It
had to enter the equation, right, And yet here I
sit this morning and having thought about it now for
the last twelve hours or so, and maybe I would
go with Castillo here, and for a lot of the
(20:16):
reasons that you brought up earlier, just maybe George Kirby
would be more effective coming out of the pen.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Well, I mean there's one thing for sure that I
would think is that Kerry Carpenter George Kirby, he's owned him, right,
and so when you start him, you know you're facing
him at least once and twice for sure if you
go past the third inning, right, and could even happen
in the second inning, if you don't go out there
and absolutely dice them up. I think there's a way
(20:46):
where if you were to go Castillo, because one, you're
just sticking to the trend. The trend is three different
games against Trek Scouble, you've won all three games when
you went with this matchup, Yeah, and that's part of
what it entered the equation. Yes, they were like George
Kirby Game one, we know it's probably gonna be against
a bullpen. It felt like a really good chance to
go out and win that one. And then it was
(21:07):
like and second and we get to go the rock
against their ace, and that's worked so far. I would
have a hard time thinking they're not gonna go They're
not gonna stick to that plan, right. I mean that's
just you think about superstition and sports and baseball players.
I have a hard time thinking they're gonna be like,
you know what, we've we've we've found a way to
win three games when the cy young winners. On the
(21:29):
other part, Aaron Levigne yesterday was telling me that no
other team has beaten Tarrek Schouble more than twice before.
The Mariners ended up doing it three times, and he
didn't get the losses and all of those, but the
gist of when he started, yes, And so I have
a hard time thinking that the superstitious side of Dan
Wilson and the entire organizations be you know what, Yeah,
(21:49):
it's worth three times. Let's try something different. Let's go
with just the rotation of normal rest and whatnot, and
go with George. Plus, I think the youth of George Kirby,
he's less set in his ways as a starter. Not
that he hadn't been a starter his whole darned life,
but I think if you say, hey, we're going Luis
Castillo and we're gonna ride that one for as long
(22:11):
as we should with a quick hook, knowing that we
can go George, you're getting loose. You're getting loose, and
you're coming in and we're gonna ride you. And you
could also bring him in right after a carry Carpenter goes.
He might be able to get to possibly two plus
innings out of him before you want to go bang
bang with maybe the back end of your bullpen.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, the only thing that I would say about that
is I gotta have like a buffer in between there.
I don't want George Kirby coming in relief, pitching for
the first time and in the middle of the inning
with traffic on the base paths. So if Castillo, for example,
got in any trouble, then I gotta have a little
buffer in between. I gotta have a reliever who's done
(22:48):
that before that comes in and gets you out of
the inning. I want George if he is in relief,
he's pitching a fresh inning at the beginning. So maybe
that's four and a third again from Castillo Spire. I
know he failed yesterday, but he's gotten Carpenter out every
time he's faced him in this series.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Then he comes in and pitches two thirds, gets you
out of that inning.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Kirby starts fresh in the fifth, and then you got
Brash and Munios that can come in as early as
the whenever you need. Munyos can go too. He can
get you six outs tomorrow, Brash can go two innings.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Neither one of them pitched in the game, so even they.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And Brash wasn't didn't experience any toil the night before
thirteen pitches, So even if you have to, they can
go four combined innings if you need them to. If
you don't want to trust Spire or Bizardo the day
after they or two days after they got lit up
for the first time in quite some time.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So yeah, there's a way to go about it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But I think we've all, at least you and I
have kind of resigned ourselves to maybe Castillo is the
better choice here to start Friday against Trek Scooball.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
All right, let's play some factor fiction. Where's that to go?
Glad you're with us?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
tenth one thousand dollar grand price. It's fact door fiction,
probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every
day Feels Lucky. Fact door fiction is on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
All right, every day, four times a day, a chance
for you to become eligible to win one thousand dollars
in cash by playing some fact or fiction with us.
And today on the Chucking Buck Radio program, we turn
things over.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
To Ashley Ryan.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
She got the pick correct on Monday or a first
place team, It's been a team effort here.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
No selfish people on this on this team, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You know all the other shows they can sit there
and they don't look out for each other.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
We do.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, we when they suck, oh for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So don't suck, Ashley, and we won't even have to
cross that bridge.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
All right, Where are you gonna go with your pick today?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Well, we are going to go look at some college football.
We've got a big game happening in Eugene on Saturday.
I guess it's ok there, Indiana Hoosiers heading there to
face the Oregon Ducks. And I don't know if you
guys have seen either of these teams play lately, but
they like to score some points.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well for the most part.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
We've got a couple exceptions in there, but I don't
think this is going to be a low scoring game.
I think this is going to be a pretty high
scoring game. The over under fifty five.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Give me the over.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Wow, fifty five pretty big numbers, all right, the over
fifty five in the Oregon Indiana game.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
We have some potent offenses.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
So what that means, if you're not familiar with gambling,
is that the two teams combined have to score fifty
six points or more in order for Ashley to be right.
So think about that. That's a twenty nine twenty seven game.
You know, that's a thirty twenty seven game. You know
that sort of thing. That's what you're looking for. It's
(26:00):
not that high scoring.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Ah yeah, that's that's probably on part.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
There's a reason that Vegas builds giant hotels. They usually
find the right number. And so over fifty five points
is what Ashley's going to bet on, and that's what
you will perform off of. If you agree with the selection,
you're gonna go ahead and text fact fact to four nine,
four five one. If you disagree with the pick, you
(26:23):
think this is going to be a low scoring sucker,
you're gonna go four nine four five to one with
fiction fiction to four nine four five one, so you
only have to remember one number four nine four five
one and two words fact or fiction based on whether
you agree with Ashley's pick or you disagree. If you're right,
we enter your name into a drawing at the end
of the week for one thousand dollars in cash. There
(26:44):
will be several names in that hopper, and yet the
more often that you're right during the course of the week,
the more times you get your name into that hopper,
so weigh it to your advantage. If you've never played before, hey,
you only got to get in once to have a
shot at one thousand dollars in cash. All provided by

This year playing Factor Fiction, ten thousand dollars jackpot awaits
the winner of this season. So yeah, there are a
lot of reasons for you to play factor fiction every
time we play it here on KJAR. Your next opportunity
comes with MJ and the Midday and Christopher Kid coming
up at eleven thirty five this morning for our part
in the entire enterprise. Ashley today is saying that Indiana
(27:57):
and Oregon, two top ten teams, when they meet on Saturday,
are going to score fifty six points or more. Fact
if you agree to four nine four five to one fiction.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
If you disagree coming up, you're getting your bounce back
or we're getting your texts. You're just not getting the
bounce back.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Okay, I'm really tired of saying to you all right,
coming up next year on the radio program, what was
Josh Naylor up to yesterday? In Many Ways Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ RFM.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
What are you trying to do there? From a gamesmanship
standpoint at.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
That point, just hope the hitter up didn't I say
anything to you?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Have to the one it looked like you kind of
turned around and was no, I.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Don't really pay attention to anyone but my teammates on
the field.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
To be honest, man's this is this.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You're trying to win the game in any way possible.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
It's perfectly legal.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
That's that's why you do it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
That's something like good Ben scouting? Is that? Like? How
do you take up on cubes? Where does that come from?
Watching the game?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
There's nobody liked it, he laughs, really hard love it.
It's Jugabuck of the morning Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ r FM. That was the voice of Josh
Naylor in between all of those nosy media members.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Gosh, are nosy? Aren't they got mind your own business?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Levine Divish was in there, so nosy.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Daniel Kramer was probably in there, Nico.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
Gosh constantly, who do you guys think you are?
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Right? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Josh Naylor had a very interesting I mean he's had
a very interesting week. And he's already a very interesting
guy to begin with. I don't think there's another player
like him in baseball kind of the way he approaches things.
I mean, he's the grittiest guy on the field and
the flashiest guy on the field. Those two things don't
go together, not typically, No, and yet that's Josh Naylor
(29:54):
for you. He was wearing a you know, a belt
from space the last couple of days to celebrate his
newborn son.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
It's correction, it was a belt of space.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It was space.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, I I floated that theory out there that could
have been space. It could it could operate. If anybody
has space just wrapped around their waist, it's Josh Naylor.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, I think that's that's why he feels so global.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yep, yeah, but yeah, galactic even.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
But what an interesting day.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Part of it was that, I guess and the broadcast
people are going on and on and on about him
blatantly stealing signs and relaying that information to Mariner's hitters,
and so that's what all of those nosy reporters were
trying to get out of Josh Naylor.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Were you doing that? Why you were doing that? And
he's like, yes, I was doing that. Why was I
doing it?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Because it helps my teammates and I don't care about
the opponent, And so.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, he was doing it.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
You weren't really real clever if you picked up on it,
because he was making it blatantly obvious out there.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
He was practically like.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Paul, I'll tuck, you know, he's practically screaming it to
his teammates. And yet it's not the first guy. People
been doing this all season long. Even Lovable whistle Teeth
Aaron Judge does it. He relays it to his teammates
when he has feels like he's got the information that
he needs. So I don't know if I like it
(31:26):
in our sport to.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Be that blatant.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
But it's not something that Josh Naylor invented yesterday. So
I don't know why former baseball players were all worked
up about it during the broadcast.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Well, I mean, you're talking to guys who back in
the those guys that are calling the game win right
and Prazinski. It used to be that you it was
part of the game. It was the gamesmanship of if
you could take the signs, if the catcher wasn't good
enough at hiding the signs, what fingers he's putting down
that you could relay that to your hitter. What's not
(31:58):
against the rules. It's not breaking the rules. It's just
you better be discreet about it, because back then you
do it, we'll put one in somebody's ribcage. And now
you don't have that, and so the only thing you
could be picking up unless the short stops standing so
close that you hear what the call is from his
Pitchcolm location. The only thing that he was doing was
(32:21):
he was putting his right arm out. He's setting up inside.
He's put his left arm out. He's setting up outside
to a right handed guy. And I saw him and
put his hand over his head like he set up
right down the middle. That's you're just giving him location
on it. And ultimately, you can't get too terribly mad
if you're the pitcher or the opponent, if your catcher
setting up too soon, right, if you see him doing it,
(32:43):
set up later, I mean, that's really you can correct that,
just like you could correct if they've picked up your
signs back when people were putting fingers down. So to me,
I mean, if that doesn't speak volumes as to how
grit he is, I don't care if you like it.
I ain't paying attention to you. You set up inside,
telling my dude, he's set up inside. Now obviously it's
still you don't know what pitch is coming, you know
(33:05):
what I mean? He was he was, I mean, unless he.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
But it does still give an indication. If Geno sees
he's pointing outside, Geno's probably thinking something soft in away,
I would imagine, well, yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
He could be things. Really it's just okay, well I'm
gonna lean on this one.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
If he throws it where he wants, I'm leaning on it.
So if it's I'm still time of fastball, good And
if it's off speed, fine, I'm just leaning on it.
When you if you know it's inside, I'm gonna ready
open the floodgates. If he's coming in. Typically that's not
going to be soft in. And so yes, you have
you have a tendency to think it's giving you some information.
And to me, I mean, I'm way more old school.
(33:44):
But if you're not gonna play old school baseball, if
that just isn't the way it is.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Plus it's playoffs, so you don't really want to risk
putting a guy on base just to settle a.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Score, right, So if you're not, if that, if that
part of the game is out of it, then play
that part.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I just really liked that.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
The announcers, like I don't know if it was Prazinski
or Wayne Wright, but one of them was like, what
is he doing? And then when he was told, well,
you know, like I've never seen it so obvious, and
the other guy was like, well, clearly you haven't watched
many games this year, because it's been obvious all season long.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Yeah, he does it all the time.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Yeah, well, and it's not just but it's not just him,
like all over He's like he was saying, like it's
been all over baseball this year, and so I just
thought that was funny because I was like, I don't
watch a ton of other games other than Mariners games,
and I knew this was happening, So how is it
that somebody who's paid to be an analyst in this
game hasn't seen this before.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I didn't hear it, but I would imagine it was
Waynwright that was like, I can't believe he's doing that
because he's a pitcher.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah maybe I can't.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Believe anybody would be stealing my signs so obviously and
relaying it to him.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
And Pierzinsky's like, that's been unappening for a long time.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Yeah, yeah, just to be called out, like we haven't
watched many games this year.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Then the other thing about Naylor, I don't know if
anybody picked up on this, and it's really not important
the grand scheme of things, but At one point he
had retired six outs in a row on ground balls
to first base. Like six outs in a row, six
consecutive outs were recorded by the Mariners pitchers on ground
(35:14):
balls to first base. I'll bet you that's never happened.
I'll bet you in the history of baseball, there weren't
six assists slash putouts recorded on ground balls to the
first basement in succession to record out.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Yeah, he had some good plays. He's heads up player,
tagging the runner and then tagging the base. He did
a lot of good things, and that's good coming off
of the one mistake that we've seen him make defensively
that was costly back earlier in this years.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Turns out having a baby makes you a magnet for
ground balls. I mean the things that they don't teach
you in school. Yeah, yeah, I would have that information
could have come in handy.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Could it. Yeah, you'd had a baby sooner.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Well, I'm just saying like that would have been nice
to know. Yeah, it would have been nice for it college.
You could have really made something of yourself.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, thanks a lot, mister Musgrave. I could have used
that in the eighth grade. Yeah, he totally dropped the
ball in.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
That one really failed me in sex ed all Right?
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Coming up next, an entire Mariner's Hour for you. We'll
start with WTF Happened Yesterday?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
We'll move into the AB season.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
