Speaker 1 (00:08):
Probably not o'clock hour run a little late, but you know,
it's kind of a different week around here. And yeah,
we're gonna have Ryan Healy on a nine thirty to
talk some more Mariners baseball. But there is another major
sporting event taking place particularly close to our hearts. We
are the flagship of yours, Seattle Cracking. They will start
their brand new season tonight out of Climate Pledge Arena,
(00:30):
taking all the Anaheim Mighty Ducks ten o'clock, Mark James
and Chris Kid will be broadcasting from Tom's watch Bar,
and then every single show will be broadcasting there and
taking it all the way after the pregame and then
the dropping of the puck, and so it's gonna be
a day out at Tom's watch Bar getting ready for
some cracking hockey tonight here on a Thursday. It's in
between Games four and five in the Alds, so a
(00:54):
lot of eyeballs, hearts, sounds, thoughts will be with the
Cracking as they start their brand new seas and we
wish we were there as well, but we'll be flying
back to Seattle tonight from Detroit and won't be able
to get there in time, but we wish should be
able to get there in time to watch a little
bit of the Crack and opener tonight. I would think
on television. Yeah, yeah, the third period, Yeah, catch a
(01:17):
little bit of it. Well, you know how we do
with major sporting events. We draft because it's pretty much
the best thing in the world. Drafting more important than family,
is it, Yeah? Okay, And so we always have a
Crack and Fantasy draft at the beginning of the year.
(01:37):
It's only three rounds, but it can be four, which
I'll explain in a moment. What we'll do is we'll
draft up some fantasy teams from the Crack And roster,
and then we will tally up the points. You get
two points for a goal, you get one point for
an assist. And it's our way of previewing the season,
previewing the roster, which has changed a little bit since
(02:00):
a season ago, and trying to incorporate all this valuable
information we've gathered in the offseason from really smart hockey people.
So we're getting ready to draft right here on Chuck
and Buck in the mornings, Christopher kids joining us as well.
We'll get the draft order here in a little bit.
As we get things started, I'll just update you on
(02:20):
one Green Jacket draft that is outstanding. The Major League
Baseball playoff draft that we have. We drafted guys, did
home runs, kids leading away. So far, He's got Taoscar
Hernandez and Michael Bush with three homers each. How that happens? Yeah? Right, good? Yeah,
he's got seven home runs. Ashley's got a home run
from every single one of her guys, and she has
(02:40):
five total right now. Yeah, Bucky and I are sitting
there with just two home runs apiece, and I got
two Yankees knocked out of the playoffs yesterday. Thanks a lot,
John Carlow, you muscle bound idiot. Ooh yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
By the way, I want to trade Tatise for Vlad Guerer.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, too late, too late for that. Yeah, there's no
pickups in this thing, but there actually are with our
crack and draft. So let's get things going. We need
a draft order, Ashley. How are we going to draft
them up?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Well, you know it comes in waves and Bucky your first, Oh,
Chuck your second, Kid your third.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
And here I am fourth again?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh boy? Yeah, geez, sorry about that, I think Bucky. Yeah,
Bucky won Cracking Green jack a draft a year ago.
Ran away with it if I remember correct, probably.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
All my hockey knowledge.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
All right, well let's get things going here, and we
will start with Bucky. You get to draft any cracking
player you want off of the roster to be the
star of your team, maybe even give them a captain
c if you want. I mean, I'm not gonna tell
you how to manage your team. Yeah, but who's going
to end up with the most points this year? It's
(03:58):
not total points like hockey points with us, it's two
points for a goal and one point.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
For an assist.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Uh huh yeah, Okay, Well then in that case, I
think I'm gonna go ahead and just take what usually
is our number one.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Go ahead and give me Jared mccannon.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Gonna go Jared McCann. You know, you know, you just
go with the sure thing. I suppose. I think there's
a little bit of concern with Jared McCann because he
had forty goals two years ago. He had just excue me,
three years ago. He had just twenty nine two years ago,
twenty two last year. So he's only twenty nine years old.
(04:32):
But you're seeing that goal total drop every single year,
and yet he had thirty nine assists a year ago
to lead the team. So he was a little bit
of a different player than the one that we've gotten
to know since he joined this cracking team. And he's
an original, he's an og Seattle cracking member. And usually
whoever has Jared McCann wins the green jacket. Yeah, I
(04:56):
win our cracking league.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I thought about going a different direction, but can just
seems pretty sure fire. He's gonna get at least twenty
goals if he wants to go off, because he's on
my team, he can.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
He's for fifty if he wants.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
All right, well, I've got the next pick in the draft,
and you know I'm gonna go with the kid here.
I'm gonna go with Shane Wright with the second pick overall.
And look, I've done a little research. I kicked the
tires a little bit. I've reached out to some smart people,
and a couple of them I'm not gonna mention their names,
(05:27):
Mike Benton and Everett FITZI seem to think that this
is the guy that is going to end up leading
this team and scoring this year. We saw his breakout
season a year ago. He kind of announced to the
world that I belong, and I think that there's this
quiet belief that Shane Wright's about to become this team's
top scorer and for years to come. So I'm gonna
(05:48):
take Shane Wright with the second overall selection. Ashley, you
like that pick.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
I do like that pick. I think that you do
like that I had him, doesn't like it. I had
him very high on my list.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
How high? Now I'm curious? Third?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Third?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Okay, honestly, he didn't really like that pick. Yet you
liked it.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
No, I really did because I was debated because I
here's the reason I only had him third, But that
was going off like some stats from last year. But
I think that I expect I mean, I know I
expect more from him this year. So I think it's
a good pick.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Promised seen goals, the nineteen goals last year. Everett tells
me he's getting thirty this year. Clinton tells me he's
getting thirty this year. So I'll take Shane right, all right, kid,
you are up next?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Kid? What is going on? Gentlemen? Goodness? Good to hear
from you. I talked to you yesterday. But it's okay.
Check we did all right? You got the third pick overall.
What are you gonna do? Let me go ahead and
get Chandless Stevenson. Oh, Chandler Stevenson a low gold total
a year ago, I think, lower than he's accustomed to.
I think that actually that number is going to go
(06:48):
up a little bit for him. But he did have
thirty eight assists in his first year in the system.
And speaking of the system, that also needs to be
pointed out, that's a completely different system this year. Who
knows what system that Lane Lambert? Which players are going
to be highlighted by Lane Lambert and his coaching staff's
system this year. But Chandler Stevenson I think is a
(07:09):
better goal scorer than what he showed a year ago.
I think that you probably will get a jump from
thirteen goals, maybe not a jump from his thirty eight assists,
But I think that's that's an interesting pick, just going
with the veteran, maybe a safer pick than there, because
there's a potential out there to really roll the dice
(07:30):
on a couple of guys who made have breakthroughs this year.
All right, Ashley, you've got the next two selections in
the draft. I think it worked out.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
All right for you.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Yeah, I know, I'm not mad about it.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Actually, I'm going to take the newcomer Mason Marchment please.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Oh six foot five ins Mason Marshall.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
He's pretty small.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I'm really interested to see how he's going to
fit with this team. I mean, twenty two goals, twenty
five assists a year ago with Dallas, thirty year old
player that comes over to the Krackt. I mean he's
supposed to be a frience maker for us. I mean
that's the idea that we're being sold on, right, and
so he's going to be in the middle of a
lot of action. Probably what do you think two line three?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Probably two?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, And so Ashley wants the newcomer. I need some
new blood.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah, and he's not new this year, but he was
new last year. Give me Brandon Montour.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh, Dorothy mountain tours son.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Yeah, Dorothy Montor's son.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
She's a saint.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
She is a saint. I've heard you took.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
My guy from last year. Now, he was my favorite
player on the He is great.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I mean for a defenseman, he's a guy that puts
up some pretty good points back there. He's not afraid
to let it fly from.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The blue line.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It's I do like watching him and I think as
I think, the Mason Marchant could be a really big
steal for the fourth pick, hopefully.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
All Right, kid, it's back to you. You got Chandler
Stevenson in round number one, where you're going here in
round number two, give meers. He is taking maddyvaners oh Man. Yeah,
well the sixth this year.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yeah, I thought about him instead of Montor, but I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
He struggled last year.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
A little bit. He has certainly not turned into the
star yet that he was forecasted to be. Again, here's
my research and I'll reveal it now because I'm sneaky
that way. Ian Farness says, Matty Beanier's is going to
be the leading goal scorer this year, like total points,
not necessarily goal scoring. We got a little bit of
a different system, but he's saying total hockey points. He
(09:27):
thinks Matty Beniers is going to be the leading points
scorer this year. So for kid to get him in
the second round, I mean that might be your first
round value right there. The kid came away with good work.
All Right, I got the next selection, and maybe I'm
just gonna put Bucky's team together from a year ago.
I don't know, but but you don't. Jaden Schwarz come
on a year ago led us in goals scored, and
(09:49):
even though I don't think he's going to do that again,
and I don't even think he's going to match the
twenty six goals that he scored a year ago, we
seem to always sleep on Jaden Schwartz. He's just a
quality veteran that contributes consistently to this hockey team. And
so to get him here this is my safe pick.
I think this is like putting a life raft on
(10:10):
right now, getting ready to go out to the pool.
Like I feel really safe right here, you know, with
Jaden Schwartz. I mean my feet can touch the bottom
and yet I still have a life preserver on. And
that's that life Preserver's name is Jaden Schwartz. Yeah, that's
my guy. Hung out with him at a charity gala
the other day. We like talked gala gala.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
No, yeah, I don't know the right way, but I
was just saying, that's a big deal.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Yeah, galla's a big deal. Fancy people go to those.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, it was with uh, it was, it was, it was.
It was fun and we ended up raising like over
two million bucks, I think. So it was pretty and
I didn't contribute, but I think Jayden Schwartz did well.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
May the Schwartz be with you and may be with
me this year. So Jaden Schwartz will be my picking
round number two. All right, Bucky again, We're only going
three rounds May four. I'll explain that in a moment
and our cracking season preview Green Jacket draft here on
Chuck and Bucks. So who are you gonna go in
rounds two and three?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Buck?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Oh boy, oh boy? This is a rough one. But
I have a feeling I'm just gonna go ahead and
go with the captain.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Give me Jordan Eberley.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right, Jordan Everley didn't play a lot last year,
kind of screwed over kids team. Everley only played forty
two games, nine goals, seventeen assists a year ago. But
even when he came back, I mean there was he
wasn't really supposed to come back from that injury that quickly,
and so I don't think we really got to see
true Jordan Eberley all year long. And then the other
(11:41):
thing is he's thirty five years old, so yeah, you
become a better captain the older that you get. But
do you become a better player the older that you get.
But he is healthy, he's ready to go to start
the season, and I don't think that's a bad pick
at all.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's who I would have Piken. All right, Well, and
then it's my pick to go again. Right, I'm kind
of wanting to go with somebody that's hurt. But I
don't know if I should go that route. No, you can,
you know what do it? I'm gonna go ahead, Yeah,
give me Coppo Coppy correctly.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
You gotta say it correctly.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, I say it correctly, Copo.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I wasn't even gonna write it down if he.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Didn't say it correct Yeah, I was gonna say or
pick didn't count.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
First round cap po gock go goes to the Bucky
Jacobson roster. He really did make a nice little impact.
Ten goals twenty assists a year ago in just forty
nine games. We seem to be just the recipe for
this talented young player because he really struggled with the Rangers,
but once he became a crack and you started to
(12:45):
see that town. It's only twenty four years old. He
is out for probably a month six weeks of the season,
well six weeks at the point of the injury. It's
been two weeks since that was announced, so you'll probably
miss the first month without Cappo. But he should be
He should be a really good contributor to this team.
I would think, don't you actually?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I would think so.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
No, I I was hoping that he would be around
for my third pick.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
All right, I didn't realize there was any chance this
guy was going to be around for my third pick.
Give me the goal scoring machine.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It is.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
A eli is going to be my select. And there
are a couple of guys, like a young players that
I'm really tempted. There's even a newcomer that I'm sort
of tempted to take. But man, I got I got
evert Viitzu telling me that Tolbnan might end up leading
this team and goals scored this year. That's a pretty
big deal to get in the third round. So give
(13:42):
me the twenty six year old Tolvenan, who, like Cappo
cock Goo, as soon as he got in a crack
and sweater really started to live up to his full potential.
So I'm taking Tolbanin in the third. All right, kid,
you are up. Who are you taking? I'll take Frederick Ah,
we're gonna go with good Oh. Yes, Fredrick Grudreau is
the pick here. The newcomer. Gudrou just added a here
(14:08):
in the off season over from Minnesota. He had eighteen
goals nineteen assists last year for the Wild Terrible Name.
But Freddie Goudroau is now with the Christopher Kids team.
I think kid just won. Like I want to root
for somebody different this year.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Yeah, I think are.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Rooting for the same old guys. Give me the new face,
give me the new kid on the block. All right, Ashley,
here's your last election.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Hey, you know I love him.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
He's a fan favorite and didn't have the best year
last year, but had to deal with some injuries.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
And I think he always makes a big impact. Give
me Vince done.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Vin's done. Well, you got to add number twenty nine
in your house. I do.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yeah, I'd get really really in trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Or you could take Brandon tannev I cook around.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I'm wearing my tan of jersey today because all I
have is tan of jerseys, and I realized my cat
attacked it and there's just strings, like she he pulled
like threads everywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So it's just damn cats.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, cats are crazy, just like he is.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
All right, there's a special to the Crack and Green
Jacket draft. So Bucky's got Jared McCann, Jordan Epperley and
Capo Coco. Chuck's got Shanewright, Jayden Schwartz and Ellie Tolvinen
kids got Chandler Stevenson, Matty Veneer's and Frederick Gudreau the newcomer.
Ashley also has a newcomer Mason Marchmant, along with Brandon
Montour and Vince Dunn. So my guy and her guy
(15:22):
with her second and third round picks. Now, here's the
element that's different with the KRACK. And you can make
pickups during the course of the season, or you can
make one right now if you would like, If you
would like to have your pickup take place right now,
because unlike the Mariners, there are a few extra roster
players on the KRACK. And so Ashley, do you want
to take your pick now for the season, your fourth guy,
(15:45):
or do you want to wait till later in the
year and see how the season on.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I'm going to take Berkeley caton.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Please, Oh wow? She's taken the kid right like it?
I like it. Yeah you're tempted. But then again, he's
only nineteen years old. I don't know how long.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
He'll be ups.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Got to come back at some point, got to take
a roster spot. But who knows. If he is a phenom,
maybe he just clicks right away. Uh, kid, you're gonna
take anybody who want to wait? You know what, why
not just get a fourth man, because okay, I'll take
Adam Marson, the big cat, all right, Adam Larson is
(16:23):
the pick. Well that means I'm gonna go ahead and
take my guy to uh so maybe nobody will hold out.
I'm gonna take Yan Yeah, and this is somebody that
I wanted to take in the third round. But I'm
gonna take Yanni Nemon. And I think maybe he has
an explosive year, young Yanni Neman for this Seattle crack it.
I'm happy about my roster right now.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah you should be.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And uh a little tickle going on.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Like that.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Else.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yanni Nemon's hearing this right now. He's like, I need
to be traded out of Seattle.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Do you want to pick anybody up? I mean, at
this point, do you want to wait and see what.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I'm waiting only one. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and
wait because away, oh.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Trash talking, Ashley saved the tape.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Yeah right, I'm going to alight.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Let the season get underway. It couldn't start until we
had a green jacket draft. They were really waiting. They
were really nervous over there. And they are our partners,
so I'm sure they were like, can you get the
green jacket? Tonight's the opening night.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Yeah, we gotta go, guys.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
We don't want to shut down the entire operation. We
got a lot of plans. Yeah, and so there you go,
crack and go ahead and have your little festivities.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, you can have the season now.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Season they'll get a game one win.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, we've drafted all right. Coming up next Ryan Healy
on the Mariners next Sports Radio ninety three point three
kJ r f M, Buggies and I's final day in Detroit,
will be making our way back to Seattle and time
(18:01):
certainly for Game number five, which we I guess have
to play now of the American League Divisional Series. Former
Marina Bucky Jacobs and Chuck Powell, Ashley Ryan with you
and former Mariner Ryan Healey has joined us throughout the
postseason providing some analysis. He's been outstanding. We're excited to
get his thoughts on what happened yesterday, even though it
(18:22):
was a very disappointing outcome. So former first basement with
the Mariners, Ryan Healey joins us again and sands hat.
He's worn a hat on our zoom call the entire time,
and and it said Seger across the front. You know,
is that your is that your boys hatline?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Or what is that?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
What's that hat line for it?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
No, it's not Ryan saying nothing.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
No found I found it out a surf shop in
San Diego beach Town.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And I got a really big head.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
So anytime I can find a hat that fits my head,
I always buy two to three of them. So I
got I got a good circulation going up the Seager hats.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's just a big head hat company. As it turns out,
We'll good to have you with us.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I don't know about you. I mean, Bucky's the former player.
He wasn't as convinced as I was. But I'm sitting
there feeling, you know, halfway through the game, we got
this thing in the bag. Where were you up three
to nothing going into the bottom of the fifth, Uh
with how this thing was gonna unfold.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
I felt like we were in control. I saw, I
saw a calmness throughout the defense. The Abats, Bryson Miller
threw the ball tremendously, and it was that that pivotal
fifth inning. Like, if there's a storyline for this entire
Alts series so far, it's that fifth inning. And we've
won that fifth inning up to this point. And yesterday
was the first time that we got ours in that
(19:46):
fifth inning. And the bullpen's been tremendous. They're gonna get
hit around these tigers. These Tigers were overly confident in
ambushing pitches early in counts and inspires stuff was still good,
but they were taking advantage. We lost the fifth inning yesterday,
we lost the game, but the series is not dead.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah, obviously there's still It's gonna be that much sweeter
if you win it on your home turf. It just
now it's a it's a winner, go home. You don't
have that luxury any longer. I mean, you were saying
Inspire his stuff was good, It felt like it was
a down a tick to me, And obviously you're gonna
miss your spot. So from time to time you're gonna
throw one over the heart. You just hope that it's
(20:23):
not hit out of the yard or smacked. He seemed
to be throwing a little bit more over the white
part than he typically does, and it's just not his day. Obviously,
as a former player, you get that that's gonna happen.
And yet how big of a deal was that? Do
you think to the clubhouse just when they after they
have to walk off without getting the W.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
I thought cal Rawley said it perfectly. We gotta flush it.
We've already flushed it. We've got a flight home. We're
gonna move on. We got a game to prepare for.
When I said spire stuff looked good, I meant vlow
looked good. Sliders still looks sharp, location in command it
was not as sharp, Bucky, So your hundred percent of
right with that. But the pitch that he threw Jami
Jones with a OO fastball that wasn't a terrible pitch.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
It was at the lower rail to strike zone. It
did catch too much of the white.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
He did even comment on the slider that got hung
to the.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Lefty green that he hit a mile and a half.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
So you're right, there was some pitches early in the
count that were getting me overs, maybe not as competitive,
not understanding the situation of are they being overly aggressive,
are they going to see a pitch whatever might happen.
You don't know that as the pitcher. But you're right,
the v low and the shape of the slider was good.
The command and location was not.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
But also you have to give credit where credits due.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
This offense for the Tigers has been down this entire
series and for the last four plus weeks. And you
see Hobby Bys' is about when he had the RBI
basin of the middle, he spit on some nasty backfoot
sliders that were unbelievable. So I'm gonna give credit here
and say we'll see a Game five and let's let's
go former Mariner.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Ryan Healey with us. He's been joining us throughout the
course of the postseason providing some outstanding and now as
the Mariners and Tigers are now even at two games
apiece with Game five being played on Friday, and of
course the big storyline is that Trek Scooble will be
pitching in that game for the Detroit Tigers, and look
fans see that, and they know the name Trek Scooble,
(22:16):
and it's hard not to recognize somebody that's going to
go back to back Cy Young, and so fans get
a little worried. Analysts, professional overreactors in the sports talk world,
they're going to tell you just how unbeatable this guy,
even Vegas is telling you. But yeah, Tigers are going
to win. Now, Trek Scooble's going How does a former
(22:37):
major league player get inside the heads of all of
those hitters as they're making that long flight back to Seattle,
And tell me how a player reacts to knowing they're
going to have to face a Cy Young pitcher with
the season on the line. Friday, Bring it on this
playoff in baseball. I want to beat the best.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
We've done it already, we responded after a lost game,
won a tough one, an extra innings to go and
face the best picture on the plane at the next day,
and we beat and we found a way. We don't
know who's gonna be the guy that steps up, but
someone is going to. Josh Naylor showed up and had
three hits yesterday. You don't have and Bucky, you can
confirm this, you don't have another choice. As a player,
you have to maintain that possibility mindset of I think
(23:20):
something great can happen, or I know something can happen.
I have to stay optimistic here. If I allow the
silence and the negative voices and start circulating, then I'm
beating myself. But I refuse to beat myself when I'm
playing the best picture in the world, because it is
my job to compete against him and find a way
to win.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I mean I have if you were managing the ball club,
are you going with the traditionally righty verse against a
right handed batter against a guy like Schooble. Is it
one of those because to me, I have a feeling
he's probably gonna be the guy who gets penciled in
there at DH And yet I would I would rather
(23:59):
give three bats to can Zone against that guy, just
simply like, all right, he's gonna challenge me if he
makes a mistake. I think Canzone has a better chance
of doing damage. Would you go veteran that's hitting from
the correct side of the box?
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Or would you go with maybe somebody you feel might
be a little bit more dangerous, even if he's less season.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
That's a fair question.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
There would need to be a specific game plan for
if Canzone is going to start there, what is his
role in this game? Because if we're just letting him
ride three AB's against Goooble without a specific approach or
game plane of Hey, let's get Scooble off the mound,
let's go out a pushbun, Let's sort out a drag bun.
Let's do something different here and get some movement and
action off of him. We saw JP Crawford do that
to Scooble in game two. If that's the plan of attack,
(24:41):
I'm okay with it because think about this too. If
if we start Garber and then we want to play
matchups later on the game, who's gonna catch if if
something happens to to Kyle Rawley's So we have to
factor in some of those scenarios.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Who would our third string catcher be in this on
arias faster?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Yeah, Harry, So we have depth there, wild forget of
the straut, the rush of the roster get structured for
the vases. But so we have coverage there. But I
get what you're saying, Bucky, and I think there has
to be a specific approach and reason why can zone
would be in there. Otherwise they're gonna do what they've
done all season because you don't want to get too
tricky here.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Speaking of which I mean, I mean this is gonna
be the trick. Who is going to get the call
for the Mariners in game number five? I mean, I
think they started George Kirby for a reason, with the
thought he'd be Game one and Game five for you.
But then Luis Castillo has now beaten School Bowl three
times head to head this year, is more experienced. Who
(25:36):
do you go with in game number five to start
for the Mariners? And then what do you do with
the guy that you don't choose? Does he possibly do
you use him in the bullpen situation? That's that's where
my mind goes.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
You chose George Kirby to be the first, the first
game starter for this series, go with him to start
this game, and then throw throw cast you in the bullpens.
You have a little bit sure coverage with some length
if you want to have that quick trigger. Now you
have both guys, the guy that barely lost Game one
of the guy that won game too.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I think that's the way that you would attack this.
If I was manager, would you have faith Inspire and
Bizardo considering what they just went through one hundred percent?
They got us here.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
They know what they need to focus on, and Bucky
said it the execution of the command. And now they
note that these guys are going to jump them early incounts.
How can we use that aggression against them to throw
maybe a little bit more borderline pitches. Let's expand the
strikes on early accounts, knowing we can get back over
the wide of the play if we need to. But
use the experience and what the team the Tigers are
(26:38):
showing you and let's make some adjustments off of that.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
It's the name of the game. Yeah, home field advantage,
I mean, look at the Dodgers phill Is. No home
team has even won a game there. But how much
credit are you going to give to fifty thousand screaming
Mariner fans with everything on the line Friday? How much
of a difference can they make in your estimation? A massive?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
You saw the difference that they making Kamerica Park the
second half of the game yesterday, when they got back
involved in that game, it took the wind out of
the Mariners. So the fans in Seattle were going to
bring it in. That is going to I mean thirteenth man,
right or twelve man for the football, right, it's gonna
be the same feel here for the Seattle Mariners.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
All right, how are you feeling? I for great? I'm excited.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
I'm excited to watch them really really, oh man, important
baseball for Morrow.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah all right, man, Well, thank you very much. We
appreciate great stuff as always. Ryan Haley coming through for
us again here on Chuking Buck in the Morning, and
we will hopefully check in with you Monday with good
news to talk about. I can't wait for the opportunity.
All right, Ryan Heley joining us right here on Chucking
Buck in the Morning. Former Mariner coming up next. We
(27:46):
close out our show here from Detroit. We close out
our week here from Detroit, Chucking Buck Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM. All right, that's gonna do it
for us here. We got one last thing here on
(28:07):
the program before we get on a bird and head
on home to Seattle. Excited about getting home to Seattle,
but also certainly want to take time to thank all
these people out here at Seattle or see me at Detroit.
iHeart station. I mean, Bucky and I've been talking about
it all week long. I just I'm not even kidding you.
(28:30):
You know, we've said some jokes and things like that,
but taken away all the joking part of it, I
don't know if I've ever been around nicer people than
the people of Detroit. I mean, it is Bucky and
I just keep looking at each other, like, what on
earth is happening? Are we on candid camera right now?
I mean people that have just gone out of their way,
whether it's here at the radio station or at our
(28:51):
hotel or just walking down the streets. I mean, we
couldn't have been treated better. So thank you, Detroit. I've
never been here before, and and you hear things about
this place and you wonder if you should be scared.
Are you kidding me? These people will take their shirt
off their backs for you if you're from out of town.
And so thank you, Detroit. You really made this a
pleasant experience for us.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I mean, I've been all over the country into a
few other countries, and the Midwest has always been full
of nice people. I mean, better than other parks I've
been in the Northeast and the West Side. I mean,
I've been down south everywhere as of now after this
little stint here in Detroit. If somebody says, where's the
nicest people, I'm gonna say Detroit, Michiean. I mean, it
(29:33):
literally was eerie, how unbelievably kind. Everyone was just simple
to we have people. We're thirty steps from the elevator,
and are you guys coming on the elevator, Like holding
the elevator in Seattle, They'll rush on and hit the
door close button, you know what I mean. I mean
that'd be you sometimes.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Yeah, I like writing with people. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
We had a guy that was just mop on the
floor and he saw us coming. We were about a
high undred and fifty feet away, and he had this great,
very white, verry white voice, and he goes, hello.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Gentlemen, watch your step please. I don't want you to
slip on this juice that I'm spreading. I like sang
it to us from across the way.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yeah, they had two signs up, Like I mean, just
typically I think most people that are mopping floor, they're like,
I got.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
The signs up. I kind of hope they slip and fall.
This guy's announcing.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
It, he sang it to us.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Watch out, floors a little slippery.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
You'll never find a floor as clean as mine, but
it's wet. And please be careful because I love you
two boys. Even though he just met Tommy.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
How'd you love girl with Tommy last night?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
All right, Ashley, what's your one last thing?
Speaker 4 (30:50):
I wanted to say. I did put up a poll
because I was curious. You know, we've talked a little
bit about how confident we're feeling about Game five and
things like that, and I know yesterday after the loss,
there was a lot of people that said the series
is over. I mean, there was a lot of people
that said that when the Tigers tied it.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Up, it's over. It's over.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
And we do tend to get a little extreme in
our emotions. So I was just curious for the average
mirror innerfan, how are you feeling. I think we've got this,
you think we're done? Or are you just too nervous
to even think about any of it? And right now
it is, Uh, I'm too nervous to think is winning
all of it?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Fifty four and a half percent of the poll can't
even ponder the whole thing. See this is the joy
of this. Yeah, twenty six seven percent says we've got this.
In eighteen per seven, eighteen seven percent says sorry, we're done.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
That's nice game result.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Yeah, I thought it was kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
I just because I do feel like that's my brain
can't wrap it around the result of the game.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I'm just like, Okay, let's go do this.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
You have told me at the beginning of the season
you have to win the two games scooball starts in
order to win the series. I would have told you we're.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Not going to win.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
But now that we are here, and now that we
did win one the first one, I don't know. I
just think the better team's gonna win the series, and
I think we have the better team. I think you're right,
So put me on that list if you want to add.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
To the on that list.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, Bucky watching one last thing.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Well, I'm gonna go ahead and just dive a little
bit into the whole canzone versus Garver thing. I know
they're probably going to start Garver, and yet if we
just go I don't know what your reasoning would be
because it's not as splits. He's hitting two thirty three
against lefties, Canzone hitting two seventy six. Now Canzone has
about half of the ABS. But if we just want
(32:34):
to go based on the sample side, it's not a
small sample size. Sixty eight b's he's hitting, you know,
forty or fifty points higher. I mean, Canzone struck out
about once every four at bats against lefties, Garver once
every three at bats against lefties. It just to me,
if there's the upside is there, and you know you're
gonna probably make changes at some point in time, meaning
(32:55):
the first time they bring in a righty, then you're
gonna pinch hit can Zone. Well, then maybe Canzone's finishing
the game. If that's where if he was to tell
me that's my thought is I want to have Canzone
in the game late, then okay, so be it. But
to me, I just do not want to see that
dude in a game five deciding situation against somebody that
quite frankly, I'm not sure if he can catch up too.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I kind of almost want to say Reboss over him.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I'd be down with that.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, Rebos gives you good pats in big situations. You
always truth. All right, I'm going to close with this,
and it's just more thank you. So I want to
thank Mark Glenn, our boss, Rich Moore, who really went
to batfirst to get us out here. Thank you very much. Yeah,
we tell our little jokes on the air, but we
got pretty damn good bosses. So we appreciate that. All
