Speaker 1 (00:00):
Point three.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is called AJRFL Seeattle number one on your car
radio pre set, and the new and improved iHeartRadio app
free never sounded so good. It's time for the OCHO Radio,
the best twelve minutes of eight minutes of radio, brought
to you by the rich, complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey Weather.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
But please strength responsibly, all.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Right, eight o'clock here on this Friday. Ashley Ryan is here,
Bucky Jacobson is here. My name is Chuck Powell. That's right.
We are back from Detroit, touchdown, and all together here
in our Seattle studios, getting ready for a huge night tonight,
and we will celebrate it via the OHO. Right now,
your eight top stories of the day right here on
(00:58):
Sports Radio ninety three point three k JRFM. Here we go, Seattle.
We aim to go where you've never been, the World Series,
the Fall, Classic baseball immortality. But we cannot get ahead
of ourselves because we can't get there without first winning tonight.
But oh with a wind tonight, Oh to beat scooball
(01:20):
again tonight, the roof will come clear off of this city.
They'll feel it in snow Qualmy, they'll feel it in
squim they'll feel it in Olympia and in Bellingham. Hell,
they'll feel it in Mozambique, Mongolia or Pakistan, and they
will definitely feel it in Toronto. It's that kind of night, Seattle,
(01:40):
when you hug your loved ones at the beginning of
the morning for strength, and then you hopefully jump up
and down with them in celebration at the time of
the victory. The night is here, the kind of night
that you will tell your grandchildren about someday. It's this
kind to night stump you into the earth tonight, and
(02:03):
so you can bring all comers. We will will take
Cat Rock's famous song if you want ball with Tiba, Yeah,
we know what that means. Tigers are losing and so
here we go Game number five, buckety, let's get it all.
Oh man, there's not a whole heck of a lot better.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I mean, you know I that song then puts me
into a frame of mind where I don't have anything
other than excitement for the game five. There's nothing about well,
I wish it would have went this well. I would
have been well, what if I don't give up? What
if all I care about is what if we go
the other way? What if we do it the way
(02:42):
that we can do it, because that is what season,
the opportunity is all about.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And this team.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
If there's not one thing we've got to enjoy, is
that this team kind of feels that they kind of
feel like we can do things that other people maybe
didn't think we could do. In the spring training or
during the off season, the front office went out, made
a couple moves, added some dudes that I think bring
something to the table. And right now we're a better
team than there. You just got to go out and
(03:08):
prove it, and you got nine innings to do it.
I think they're going to get it done. I think
we're going to have the probably the best Friday that
a lot of people wish we never had.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Okay, there's a lot of people right now. I don't
want I do.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
What if I feel desponded and totally depressed at the
end of But what if you get to feel what
we're going to feel when we walk out of there victorious.
We saw it when on that game they won, the
party that was going on outside of the of.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Teams were playing too.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, yeah, you win Game five, this place is gonna
go absolutely berserk and you couldn't have done that unless
you lost Game four. So you know what, I'm glad
we lost Game four. Now, yeah, let's bring it game five.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I just bring it. Let's just make it all that.
And this will be the first time, by the way,
that the three of us will be in the building
together for the series. There you go, yeah uh, and
Ken Griffy Junior is going to be there. It sounds
like to throw out the first pitch. So this will
be the first time that Ashley, Bucky, myself, and Ken
Griffy Junior will be together in the same building. That's
(04:11):
the winning formula right there. I think it is pretty
sure we're undefeated when that happened.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah, we never lost that way, never lost that kind
of Terrek Scoogle understands that.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, he doesn't know.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I don't know if you're in town yet, but you've
never beaten us. They'll probably haven't beat us all year.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But they probably keep that information from him while he's
norm enough throw off.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah yeah, wait a second, is that Griffy fuck Chuck?
Ashley Homer is a great and five Iron are here too.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Nobody told me I had to go and I don't
want the ball. Coate all right, Trek Scooble is certainly
getting the ball for Detroit. That was kind of up
in the air as to who was going to end
up starting this game for the Seattle Mariners. George Kirby
started game number one, so it seems kind of logical
that he would be elated to start game number five.
(05:02):
But then again, Luis Castillo has beaten Scooball head to
head three different times this year, so on just as
much rust as what Scooball would have since they both
pitched Game number two, would you bring back Luis Castillo
to start this game and have Kirby come out of
the bullpen. Well, when it comes to feats of strength,
(05:25):
the Mariners have made their decision. Who's gonna strength about George? Yeah,
it's gonna be George. George Kirby is getting the start tonight.
And I realize all the arguments I have won for
Luis Castillo myself, But as we mentioned a little bit
earlier in the show, truth of the matter is that
this organization feels that George Kirby is as talented, if
(05:49):
not the most talented pitcher in their organization. And I
don't think Bucky, I don't think they start him in
game number one if they're not planning on starting him
in game number five, and I don't I think they're
starting them in game number one because they're going to
save their true rotation for the Alcs. And so I'm
just gonna read into this that, whether we agree with
(06:11):
it or not, whether you listening in your car or
at home or in your office, agree with this or not,
the Seattle Mariners believe that George Kirby gives them the
best chance to go pitch for pitch against Tarrek Schouble
in a fifth and decisive game.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
They just believe in his stuff that much, and understandably so.
I mean, like I said earlier, the back in twenty
twenty two is rookie year. He ended up going seven innings,
two hits, no runs allowed.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I mean not.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
The thing is is Luis Castillo could do that as well.
This is another one of those It's tough because you
have so many, so many good options. The Tigers don't
have an They were without it out throwing trek school,
no ifens or butts. Now, maybe none of our guys
have have risen to that level. I don't think that well,
they haven't none of our guys have risen to that.
(07:01):
But the fact that you have two guys for sure
that are rested enough that you could go, and so
there's a conversation to be had about it, and you
wind up going with Logan or with George Kirby. I
feel pretty good about it. I mean, I think that
the dude has everything that it takes between the ears.
If he gets off to a good start to absolutely
mow this lineup.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Down, how long will Kirby pitch? I think that's entirely
up to George. I mean, he's not going to be
allowed to work through a lot. He's pretty much if
he wants to stay in the game, he's got to
be dominant early and dominant throughout. Guess that's going to
be the expectation. There's there are too many options. I mean,
(07:42):
you could even the idea of George Kirby just facing
the lineup one time. I mean, every single one of
our starters so far in this series has thrown four
shutout innings to start the game, every single one of them,
including George back in game number one. So if you believe,
maybe you believe that hey, first time through the lineup,
you're gonna see George Kirby. Second time through the lineup,
(08:04):
you're gonna see Luis Castile, and then you're gonna face
Andres Munio's for six outs at the end of the game.
That's not a lot of time in between that you
have to fill in the cracks. I don't know if
they'll take that approach, but I do believe what Bucky
said earlier. There will be an element of gut and
if George Kirby's going out and mowing down fools, then
they'll just ride that as long as they possibly can.
(08:26):
And he certainly has that potential. Yeah. Well, I mean
he did had the four.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Shutout innings against Tigers before and then really made not
a bad pitch that Kerry Carpenter took a better swing
on that put him up to zip. Now you came
back and tied it up and then ended up losing
that ballgame in extra innings. But I mean, he was
right there. I think that's part of what plays into
the decision. Did he look shaky last time and Luis
(08:53):
Castile looked lights out? No, he looked dominant last time,
and it had another big league guy who kind of
has our number and has his season Anyways, he took.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
A good swing on him.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think maybe he's a little bit more careful with
that guy, maybe, you know, making sure he's making pitches
in off the plate and not just middle of the plate,
but above the top rail. Go out there and make
a couple of adjustments. I think that this is the
guy that's probably more capable of doing that than any
other pitcher on the staff.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Well, it's George Kirby versus Trek Schoolball to start the game.
First pitch out of George's hand will be at five eight,
So it is on. Let's effing go. Let's might as
well win the whole fing thing, all right. Item number
three Major League Baseball Playoffs. Last night, the Dodgers advanced
(09:41):
to the NLCS, and for Philly fans, in the most
painful way possible, now balls in a strike, Yes, breaks,
it's Pat kirk kring gotta find it.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Turns to the plate, Oh my goodness, it turns it away,
and the Dodgers of run, the Dodgers gwinn and they
all move it on to the NLCS in the most
improbable finished pandemonium at Dodger Stadium, and your.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Heart breaks for Ryan Kirkering TBS. They are all on
the call last night. So situation is you're tied bottom
of the eleventh wasn't it. I didn't write that down
bottom of the eleventh inning? All right, you'd already used
Joe on Duran, your best reliever, and so now both
teams are deeper into their bullpen. But Kirkering is one
(10:36):
of their better guys. But he's also a younger guy.
He got bases loaded already at an intense moment. You
get a ground ball hit back to you, no problem
at all, except for the fact that you bobble it.
Still no problem at all. You can see JT. Real Muto,
the Phillies catcher, casually pointing to first and certainly yelling
(10:57):
it out to Kirkering to throw it to first, and
in his panic of bobbling the baseball, he scurries for it,
grabs it, and decides to then throw home and through
it wildly all the way to the backstop. And that's
how you lose the game. That's how the Philly season,
and they certainly had World Series aspirations, came to a
(11:18):
crashing halt.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, I mean we heard about we were watching that
game on the flight back.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And then sure enough. Right when they go.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Into extrames, it's time to get off the plane, and
I'm happy by getting off.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Really speedy process. By the way, nice job humans, You
really do a good job at this. Yeah, really really,
really efficient. That's the when people at the backs stand
up at first, it's like you're not going anywhere. Just
sit in your seat till it's your turn.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
I didn't stand up quickly, but I end up standing
up before it's my turn to walk because I've been
sitting for a long time. But it was We didn't
get to see the end of it, so it ends
up being something that we find out about basically in
our travels back to Master Park and getting all that
stuff figured out when I ended up watching it when
I got home.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
My I mean, I bust.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Pitchers balls all the time and like to call them
non athletes and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yesterday was a prime example of that. By the way.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
The first run that put Philly on the board and
gave the lead was from a pitcher not catching a
ball that goes in and ends up coming around to
score later on the way they tied it up was
a walk with the bases loaded by Johan Duran and
then they end up losing the game. Basically with that,
it was just one of those got rattled because he
(12:30):
clanked the little broken bat chopper back to him and thought, oh,
maybe it'll be quicker to throw home and just makes
a bad throw instead of throwing it at the first base.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I feel horrible for that game. Right now, Dodgers advance
to the NLCS again. They await the winner of Milwaukee
and Chicago, who are now tied at two as the
Cubs won both of their games at home. Game five
will be Saturday night, five o'clock and they will play
that in Wisconsin. We've got other things other than baseball
to get to a huge event last night, and that
(13:00):
is that the Kraken played their season opener out at
Climate Pledge Arena, blue carpet our group out there from
ten am all the way to postgame last night. And
the good news is we got to celebrate a victory
and Vince Done scores the first goal of the year.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Schwartz ticks the feed, brings it over the right Wick
side at Lanier Circle, sends it up top.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Adam Larson now for Todd shot sto pits.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Don kicks off season five with this first goal of
the season seventeen thirty nine to play in the first
one nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Seattle alright, ever it fits you on it last night,
very first game, very first goal scorer call of the season,
and he sounded wonderful. It was like butter, Yeah, like putter.
So Vin's done. Hey stick around this year, Vince, maybe
play the whole season? Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Please?
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Mason Marchman score the game winning goals. It turns out
in his first game as a member of the Crack
and head coach Lane Lambert wins his first game on
the bench. But Joey to coord was the star of
the game. He shines thirty five saves and thirty six tries.
He had Ian Furness and Mike Benton just gushing about
his performance last night. The team will host the Golden
(14:19):
Knights in their second game of the year Climate Pledge
tomorrow at seven pm. Congratulations Kracking. I wish we had
a little more time to talk about it, but the
OCHO must roll on it AM number five Tonight the
Huskies are in action. That's right, it is game day
for the Washington Huskies. They will be hosting the Scarlet
Knights of Rutgers. This is a team that traditionally just
(14:41):
loves to run the football, and even though they run
the ball more than they throw the ball, they aren't
having any success running the ball compared to how much
success they're having throwing the football. I asked Cam Cleland
about that on Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
I don't know when I see Rutgers, They're not going
to change who they are, no doubt they're going to
change it. You're going to make a team one dimensional.
Then you have to adjust and be more physical upfront
with the defense.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And Jay Mono was awesome.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
I mean, here's a kid that talking about stepping in
for Buddha out and you're not upgrading, but it is
dam impressive at linebacker. And if you get to Carrio
back then okay. Alex McLoughlin is the number one safety
and Pro Football Focus grading out wise and tackle ability
in space. That is that young kid big getting shout out.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
To long hair Ginger. He's the dude.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
And so your defense is getting better and your d
line is getting better. That to me is I'm noticing
a big difference with how well coach Walter is getting
this defense to really fit and control Nolling in the
run game. But being a little more aggressive with their
blitz package.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Too, Cam Cleveland. He'll be on the call with Tony
castra Cone starting at six o'clock tonight at home right
here at your flagship sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
which mains Softy on the Hanks, will start at two o'clock.
You'd I'm gonna try and accommodate interest in the Mariners
game for as long as they can tonight, but there
is only so much that they can do with that.
(16:09):
Just going to be a wild, wild, memorable night in
Seattle sports, there's no question about it. And if you
see Softy, be kind to him. He's really torn apart
by not being able to be in two places at once.
Maybe if we didn't care on the party, good we should,
he'd be okay with it. For this situation, he was
willing to take a crossbro bow to the butt. Yeah,
(16:30):
and so he'd really like to be split into right
now so he could be in both places at once.
Kug's will be in action at ol Miss oh Man,
you signed up for a rough one there. Kug's first
kickoff will take place. I'm almost called it first pitch
at nine forty five tomorrow morning. John Mattier, former Kok quarterback,
is probable for the Red River rivalry against Texas at
(16:52):
twelve thirty tomorrow, and then in the Big Ten some
huge games including number one Ohio State at number seventeen,
Illinois be intimidating to play, and that's in that hall
with all of its history, and then yeah, Indiana at
number seven taking on the Oregon Ducks. Number three, item
number six. Seahawks will be in Jacksonville, Florida to take
(17:13):
on the Jaguars. Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider, was on
with US an hour ago talking about whether or not
the Seahawks can get a pass rush against Trevor Lawrence,
who's only been sacked six times this year.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Lawrence gets them all out really quickly. I mean everyone
in the league does now, but Lawrence in particular. They
throw a lot of short routes. William Cohen has him
running a lot of quick stuff, so that's when tackling
comes in. So they may not have big sack numbers
on Sunday, but they could still affect a quarterback more
than they did Baker Mayfield. Lawrence not quite as elusive
and a decisive a runner as Mayfield is, so tackle
(17:49):
when they throw a three yard pass, make it a
three yard game instead of a ten yard game. Did
too many ten yard twelve yard games out of two
and three yard passes against Tampa Bay. That's the focus
for them. I would expect to steady that at TN
on Sunday. Tackling it's fundamental. It's key for three yard games.
To say, three yard games on Soday. I think that's
(18:09):
the key to the game.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Tackling a key to football. As it turns out, Yeah,
it's helpful. Is that cliche? The Hawks are three and
two on the season, so there's a chance. I mean,
and I think we all feel that they're better than
a five hundred team. I don't know there are many
Seahawks fans out there. I think this is an average
football team. But if we lose to a four and
one Jaguars team on the road for an early start,
(18:35):
the Seahawks are flying home three and three. It just
doesn't feel like they're a five hundred football team. But
they're going to have to win in order to avoid that.
After the sixth game mark of the season, the Seahawks
have moved from underdog to favorite by the way in Vegas. Meanwhile,
there's other action, of course, On Sunday six thirty am
kickoff from London, the Denver Broncos taking on the New
(18:58):
York Jets. You got the ram and the Baltimore Ravens.
That would have been a great matchup on paper at
the beginning of the year, but the Ravens can't win,
so they might be trying to save their season against
a really good football team. Afternoons, Santan Francisco at Tampa
Bay's the game to watch, and then the Sunday night
game will be Detroit at Kansas City. The week in
the NFL got started last night with the Giants absolutely
(19:21):
stunning the world champion Philadelphia Eagles thirty four to seventeen
behind rookies Jackson Dart and Cam Scataboo. I think I
(19:47):
think we need this Canabou shit Scot boom, Scout up boom,
Scout up boom, ripping off his shirt with Ryan Fitzpatrick
and the postgame show there on Amazon Prime. But Scataboo
not hard to believe. He's already become a fan favorite
with the Giants. Everybody loves him and I did like
though Ryan Fitzpatrick gently unbuttoning his shirt. He didn't want
(20:10):
to ruin his Skatabu is like I will rip this
in pieces. WNBA Finals, by the way, could wrap up
tonight Game four of five o'clock. The Aces, by the
end of this evening could be world champs once again.
They are up three to zero on the Mercury. All right,
coming up next more on game five tonight between the
Tigers and the Mariners. It's Chuck and Bock Sports Radio
(20:32):
ninety three point three KHARFM, and we're gonna talk plenty
of football coming up with Hugh Millen and Coach Homer
and they will be with us in our nine o'clock hour.
We also got a little bit of college football to
talk about today. It's been almost an entire baseball show,
but this might be the last big segment that we have,
so let's go through it. Let's just go right through it.
Pitching game plan for tonight, We've already discussed it a
(20:53):
couple of times. Maybe there's a wrinkle that we haven't discussed.
But I think that you and I are both on
in the same step that George eats as long as
he's devouring uh and yet it's a quick pull. I
don't think anybody's gonna be there's no way with Luis
Castillo there in the wings and your entire bullpen at
(21:13):
your fingertips, and Munjo's fully rested and can go you know,
six outs if you need him to. Maybe even beyond
that that you're gonna let any kind of scuffle or
open yourself up to carry Carpenter against George Kirby with
guys on base again, I don't think that's going to happen.
So as long as he's devouring, you just keep letting
him eat. But I do believe the game plan will
(21:36):
be that no one gets to struggle, no one gets
to put guys on base. We can't risk anybody giving
up a three run homer tonight.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah, I mean it's how you get him on I
suppose it would matter a little bit to me, right,
I mean, you get some swinging bunt and a jam
shot the bloops over the over first base. I don't
know for sure if I'm yanking him just because it's like, well,
because then you didn't you're not really hit. Now you
get you give up a couple of hard hit balls. Yeah,
you're you're making a change, don't. I don't want as
(22:07):
I trust you have to trust your bullpen, but I
don't trust them more than I trust the starting dudes
we have, and that so that was where there's a
feel part of it. I wouldn't have a game plan then,
I'm just dead set on it if it's if it
works out the way that it could work out for me.
I mean, if we can get George to just mow
down for four innings, if all of a sudden in
(22:29):
the fifth he gets in trouble, maybe you bring in
Aspire for a match up there to get out of
that inning Bang bang. Then you maybe go get a
couple of innings out of out of Luis Castillo if
you want to, unless you feel that you have better matchups,
which I don't know where that would be in the bullpen,
and then Brash and Munno's bang bang to finish the
whole thing. That would be like the optimum way for me.
(22:50):
I want to be able to trust George, and yet
it's going to be a short leash just simply because
of how crucial this game is.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, well, I think that I use I'm planning to
use Munjos for a couple of innings. I'm planning to
use Brash for an inning tonight, and I'm planning to
use some sort of combination of Kirby and Castillo for
like five. And if it's just Kirby, then all five,
that's fine. But the moment that anybody is in trouble,
especially that Carpenter matchup, I'm using everybody else just to
(23:19):
fill in the cracks. I'm not committing to a game
spier for more than get me this left hand er
out and get out of the inning, and then I'm
taking you out and I'm starting with somebody else freshly
very next inning. All right, offensive game plan this we
didn't get to a little bit earlier.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Are you.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Just gonna rely on what we did in Game two
against school Ball? And that's just let everybody just try
to hit a solo home run here. That's how we're
going to score runs, because it's very hard to string
hits against this guy, and he doesn't walk a lot
of guys as well. Or do you try to play
a little small ball, maybe lay down a couple of months.
He's not a very good fielder. He doesn't hold runners
(23:58):
on very well. Do you try to steal some bases?
Do you try to create some havoc? Try to get
him off of his game by doing some things that
normally you don't do, but you are capable of doing
them the most. I mean I'd do a little bit
of both. I mean I would.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
If I'm run under a rose arena, probably isn't gonna
do it. But if I'm JP, I might bring a
bunt with me right lefty, un lefty. Tough matchup. Now
he's gotten a knockoff and before it's not like he's
it's impossible. Your dudes that you flat out and rely
on for them to do damage, then they're gonna go
up there trying to do damage. If you have, If
your guy that has the capability of putting some pressure
(24:36):
on him fielding his position, do it. We've seen it.
It's not just that one that he not snapped. He
struggles a little bit coming off the mound and making
plays and so putting that extra seed in his mind
and then stealing. The lefties don't like when you are aggressive.
Now he doesn't have a bad move, but he doesn't move.
He doesn't come over there all that often. A lot
of lefties don't because they think I'm looking at you.
(24:58):
You won't go when I'm looking at you. They need
to go a little bit. They need to put some
pressure on them. I think that is part of our
game plan. When we're playing our best, we're making we're
making it difficult on them defensively, just basically with our aggressiveness.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
So I want him to do that.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
But ultimately, this team does live and die at times
by the long ball. And you know, the weather's kind
of rolling in. Maybe the ball ain't going to carry
quite as much. But we got enough guys that if
they arrive on time, he will supply the power. You
don't got to be big, you just got to be
on time.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, Well that's what I'm wondering. If they don't want
to run into any outs, they want to preserve as
many as they can for the long ball. I think
there's an expectation that is going to be a low
scoring game tonight. And the other thing, the most rattle
I've ever seen Trek Schoolble is when he hit a
guy in the face with a pitch. Maybe Luke Rayley,
(25:47):
Who's who are you going to have to be sacrificial lamb? Hey?
But go try to bunt one up there and wear
it in your face. I mean, if anyone could softy
and would do it. Yeah. I don't know if that's
worse than a bow of crossbow of the butt or not.
I think it's about the same. Finally, I just want
to mention this again. Defense, I think it's crucial tonight.
(26:10):
I think not not allowing extra outs to the Detroit
Tigers could be essential, and not just that. I think
taking some hits away. We got Rod Blaze, we got Rodriguez,
We've got some and we got col behind the plate
throwing people. I think defense could play a really big role.
We at least at the very minimum, have to be
(26:30):
clean tonight, and I think maybe there'll be a requirement
to be spectacular a time or two. You got to
keep this thing low scoring, and hard way of keeping
it low scoring is by giving a team an extra
out at any point during the course of the game.
So I think defense we've got to be stellar tonight. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Well, I mean this time of year, every ever out matters,
and if you give a team an extra one just
because of how dialed in the hitters are and the
added pressure it puts on the pitch to have to
try to get a fourth or a fifth out in
an inning, and it hardly ever works out.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
But in the postseason works out even harder. All right,
coming up next, What a huge night that we have
for year at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
And what a huge night that the Seattle sports fan
finds itself up against. I mean, it has been one
heck of a weekend, and so we will preview the night,
the entire night next. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
(27:28):
A team of scientists have been working around the clock
to try to figure out how to clone Dave Maler,
And I mean not with just like another Softy, you know,
baby softy, but like with one his exact age, with
his exact knowledge of what has happened to this point
in his life as a Seattle sports fan, so that
(27:48):
that clone can go to the Mariners game while he's
doing Huskies probably would lead to the end of the world.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Great.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I love how he told me. He said, I'm going
to find a quiet corner to watch the Mariners game.
And I'm like, no corner remains quiet once you've entered it,
not on like a normal moment, let alone that moment
quiet corner instantly becomes a loud corner, the loudest. Yeah.
When soft he enters it. I feel for him, though,
(28:17):
I feel for him. It's quite a night here in
Seattle sports, and it's gonna be tough on soft. He'll
be hosting the Hawks at two o'clock and then the
kickoff is at six. Meanwhile, our baseball game first pitches
at five o'clock, so we can split our interests, but
we can't be two places at once. And fortunately, but
(28:38):
the Hosky's in action tonight against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
There's a little bit of vengeful taste, I think on
the lips of Jetfish in this game. And he's also
facing a Rutgers team that has the same identity they've
always had. They are going to try to run the football.
They run the ball more than they throw the football,
but they haven't had near the success running the ball
as they've had throwing the football. So as Cam Cleveland
(29:01):
struggled with on Wednesday. That's the challenge tonight is we
obviously have to play to stop the run because that's
going to be how they beat us. And yet their
passing game is what's dangerous about Rutgers. How do you
defend that but.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Try to do both?
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I guess right, I may I continue to make it
difficult for them to run the ball even though because
they they commit to it, and yet they basically strike
and score through the air. So I don't know exactly
how you do it, but I rely on those big
long dbs and then hopefully your defense is stout up front.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, I still don't think we have an update. I
mean I have been flying back from Detroit on Tacario Davis.
Don't know if he's playing just yet. Last I heard
that it was still up in the air. But six
o'clock kickoff for the Dogs and the nights that will
get the evening started to get that. I should say.
The week started in the Big Ten. But what a
(29:56):
week in the Big Ten. Eight different matchups, all conference games,
so nobody is on by this week it'll be Ohio
State at Illinois as the nine am kickoff. That's one
versus seventeen in the country. UCLA the fighting Jerry Neuheisel's
trying to make it two in a row. There'll be
an East Lansing taking on SPARTI. Yeah, we just saw
(30:17):
we spend some time with some Spartans here the last
couple of days nine am kickoff there between Michigan State
and the Bruins. Then in the twelve to thirty kickoffs,
you'll have Northwestern at Penn State, you'll have Nebraska at Maryland,
and then the big game of the weekend is number
seven Indiana at number three Oregon. It's very funny about
these two teams because they're kind of known as finesse teams.
(30:41):
They are not finesse teams. Indiana and Oregon try to
beat you the hell up, and yes they've got some
weapons offensively, but these are teams that are strong in
the trenches. Illinois couldn't move the ball against Indiana, and
they've got a pretty good team. Meanwhile, Oregon is a
t that almost for three quarters anyway, was shutting down
(31:04):
Penn State entirely. These two teams are very physical. They're
about trench warfare, even though they're kind of known as
finesse programs.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah, well, I'm hoping and expecting that this is one
where the when it comes to muscle versus muscle that
I think the Ducks might just be a couple of
years ahead of that, because that's not an easy transition
to go from the you know, hurry up offense, high
flying thing that we watched the Ducks do when they
kind of came became a decent team and have been
(31:35):
talked about, and I think hopefully Indiana is still a
couple of years behind on getting that much sand in
their pants.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I hope Indiana beats them. Yeah, stupid, Yeah, Ashley, who
are you oping to wins Indiana?
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yea Indian beats them by I think that's shocky happy
that your guys' weekend will suck at that moment.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
At that moment only, I'm not an Indiana fan at all.
As a matter of fact, they grew up considering them
a rival. But I hope they went by fifty. Uh.
Iowa at Wisconsin is the four o'clock kickoff, Michigan at
USC for thirty, and then Minnesota hosting Purdue. No one
really cares that's at four thirty tonight or on Saturday
as well. So there you go. Let's wrap up the
(32:16):
segment and then head into our nine o'clock hour here
on a football and baseball Tito's Friday. By just quickly
going through our green jacket fantasy teams. Ashley's leading the
way right now with four eighty five Bucky past Kid
this past week. Kid's just like I'm not dropping anybody.
I love my roster. I don't care if they're all
on buy in one week. I don't give a damn.
(32:37):
I'm going to win it in the end. Bucky's got
four to thirty four. Kid has for twenty nine, and
even though I scored one hundred points this past week,
had by best week by far, I'm still one hundred
points back of third place. So I got a lot
of work to do. So we always do pickups. Kid
is passing again from the number one pickup position. Ashley,
you've got the next pickup position. I am going to
(33:00):
up Wayman Jordan okay, and drop Nick Marsh. I believe
it is who I had. All right, Yeck Marsh, the
wide receiver out of Michigan State. Buck, are you making
any move? I am not making a move this week.
I am not making a move either. So Ashley is
the only person with a move this week, as she
adds the trojan running back. All right, here we go
nine o'clock hour, x'es and o's with Hugh Miller next
(33:22):
on KJR.
Point three.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is called AJRFL Seeattle number one on your car
radio pre set, and the new and improved iHeartRadio app
free never sounded so good. It's time for the OCHO Radio,
the best twelve minutes of eight minutes of radio, brought
to you by the rich, complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey Weather.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
But please strength responsibly, all.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Right, eight o'clock here on this Friday. Ashley Ryan is here,
Bucky Jacobson is here. My name is Chuck Powell. That's right.
We are back from Detroit, touchdown, and all together here
in our Seattle studios, getting ready for a huge night tonight,
and we will celebrate it via the OHO. Right now,
your eight top stories of the day right here on
(00:58):
Sports Radio ninety three point three k JRFM. Here we go, Seattle.
We aim to go where you've never been, the World Series,
the Fall, Classic baseball immortality. But we cannot get ahead
of ourselves because we can't get there without first winning tonight.
But oh with a wind tonight, Oh to beat scooball
(01:20):
again tonight, the roof will come clear off of this city.
They'll feel it in snow Qualmy, they'll feel it in
squim they'll feel it in Olympia and in Bellingham. Hell,
they'll feel it in Mozambique, Mongolia or Pakistan, and they
will definitely feel it in Toronto. It's that kind of night, Seattle,
(01:40):
when you hug your loved ones at the beginning of
the morning for strength, and then you hopefully jump up
and down with them in celebration at the time of
the victory. The night is here, the kind of night
that you will tell your grandchildren about someday. It's this
kind to night stump you into the earth tonight, and
(02:03):
so you can bring all comers. We will will take
Cat Rock's famous song if you want ball with Tiba, Yeah,
we know what that means. Tigers are losing and so
here we go Game number five, buckety, let's get it all.
Oh man, there's not a whole heck of a lot better.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I mean, you know I that song then puts me
into a frame of mind where I don't have anything
other than excitement for the game five. There's nothing about well,
I wish it would have went this well. I would
have been well, what if I don't give up? What
if all I care about is what if we go
the other way? What if we do it the way
(02:42):
that we can do it, because that is what season,
the opportunity is all about.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And this team.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
If there's not one thing we've got to enjoy, is
that this team kind of feels that they kind of
feel like we can do things that other people maybe
didn't think we could do. In the spring training or
during the off season, the front office went out, made
a couple moves, added some dudes that I think bring
something to the table. And right now we're a better
team than there. You just got to go out and
(03:08):
prove it, and you got nine innings to do it.
I think they're going to get it done. I think
we're going to have the probably the best Friday that
a lot of people wish we never had.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Okay, there's a lot of people right now. I don't
want I do.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
What if I feel desponded and totally depressed at the
end of But what if you get to feel what
we're going to feel when we walk out of there victorious.
We saw it when on that game they won, the
party that was going on outside of the of.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Teams were playing too.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, yeah, you win Game five, this place is gonna
go absolutely berserk and you couldn't have done that unless
you lost Game four. So you know what, I'm glad
we lost Game four. Now, yeah, let's bring it game five.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I just bring it. Let's just make it all that.
And this will be the first time, by the way,
that the three of us will be in the building
together for the series. There you go, yeah uh, and
Ken Griffy Junior is going to be there. It sounds
like to throw out the first pitch. So this will
be the first time that Ashley, Bucky, myself, and Ken
Griffy Junior will be together in the same building. That's
(04:11):
the winning formula right there. I think it is pretty
sure we're undefeated when that happened.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah, we never lost that way, never lost that kind
of Terrek Scoogle understands that.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, he doesn't know.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I don't know if you're in town yet, but you've
never beaten us. They'll probably haven't beat us all year.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But they probably keep that information from him while he's
norm enough throw off.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah yeah, wait a second, is that Griffy fuck Chuck?
Ashley Homer is a great and five Iron are here too.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Nobody told me I had to go and I don't
want the ball. Coate all right, Trek Scooble is certainly
getting the ball for Detroit. That was kind of up
in the air as to who was going to end
up starting this game for the Seattle Mariners. George Kirby
started game number one, so it seems kind of logical
that he would be elated to start game number five.
(05:02):
But then again, Luis Castillo has beaten Scooball head to
head three different times this year, so on just as
much rust as what Scooball would have since they both
pitched Game number two, would you bring back Luis Castillo
to start this game and have Kirby come out of
the bullpen. Well, when it comes to feats of strength,
(05:25):
the Mariners have made their decision. Who's gonna strength about George? Yeah,
it's gonna be George. George Kirby is getting the start tonight.
And I realize all the arguments I have won for
Luis Castillo myself, But as we mentioned a little bit
earlier in the show, truth of the matter is that
this organization feels that George Kirby is as talented, if
(05:49):
not the most talented pitcher in their organization. And I
don't think Bucky, I don't think they start him in
game number one if they're not planning on starting him
in game number five, and I don't I think they're
starting them in game number one because they're going to
save their true rotation for the Alcs. And so I'm
just gonna read into this that, whether we agree with
(06:11):
it or not, whether you listening in your car or
at home or in your office, agree with this or not,
the Seattle Mariners believe that George Kirby gives them the
best chance to go pitch for pitch against Tarrek Schouble
in a fifth and decisive game.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
They just believe in his stuff that much, and understandably so.
I mean, like I said earlier, the back in twenty
twenty two is rookie year. He ended up going seven innings,
two hits, no runs allowed.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I mean not.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
The thing is is Luis Castillo could do that as well.
This is another one of those It's tough because you
have so many, so many good options. The Tigers don't
have an They were without it out throwing trek school,
no ifens or butts. Now, maybe none of our guys
have have risen to that level. I don't think that well,
they haven't none of our guys have risen to that.
(07:01):
But the fact that you have two guys for sure
that are rested enough that you could go, and so
there's a conversation to be had about it, and you
wind up going with Logan or with George Kirby. I
feel pretty good about it. I mean, I think that
the dude has everything that it takes between the ears.
If he gets off to a good start to absolutely
mow this lineup.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Down, how long will Kirby pitch? I think that's entirely
up to George. I mean, he's not going to be
allowed to work through a lot. He's pretty much if
he wants to stay in the game, he's got to
be dominant early and dominant throughout. Guess that's going to
be the expectation. There's there are too many options. I mean,
(07:42):
you could even the idea of George Kirby just facing
the lineup one time. I mean, every single one of
our starters so far in this series has thrown four
shutout innings to start the game, every single one of them,
including George back in game number one. So if you believe,
maybe you believe that hey, first time through the lineup,
you're gonna see George Kirby. Second time through the lineup,
(08:04):
you're gonna see Luis Castile, and then you're gonna face
Andres Munio's for six outs at the end of the game.
That's not a lot of time in between that you
have to fill in the cracks. I don't know if
they'll take that approach, but I do believe what Bucky
said earlier. There will be an element of gut and
if George Kirby's going out and mowing down fools, then
they'll just ride that as long as they possibly can.
(08:26):
And he certainly has that potential. Yeah. Well, I mean
he did had the four.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Shutout innings against Tigers before and then really made not
a bad pitch that Kerry Carpenter took a better swing
on that put him up to zip. Now you came
back and tied it up and then ended up losing
that ballgame in extra innings. But I mean, he was
right there. I think that's part of what plays into
the decision. Did he look shaky last time and Luis
(08:53):
Castile looked lights out? No, he looked dominant last time,
and it had another big league guy who kind of
has our number and has his season Anyways, he took.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
A good swing on him.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think maybe he's a little bit more careful with
that guy, maybe, you know, making sure he's making pitches
in off the plate and not just middle of the plate,
but above the top rail. Go out there and make
a couple of adjustments. I think that this is the
guy that's probably more capable of doing that than any
other pitcher on the staff.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Well, it's George Kirby versus Trek Schoolball to start the game.
First pitch out of George's hand will be at five eight,
So it is on. Let's effing go. Let's might as
well win the whole fing thing, all right. Item number
three Major League Baseball Playoffs. Last night, the Dodgers advanced
(09:41):
to the NLCS, and for Philly fans, in the most
painful way possible, now balls in a strike, Yes, breaks,
it's Pat kirk kring gotta find it.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Turns to the plate, Oh my goodness, it turns it away,
and the Dodgers of run, the Dodgers gwinn and they
all move it on to the NLCS in the most
improbable finished pandemonium at Dodger Stadium, and your.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Heart breaks for Ryan Kirkering TBS. They are all on
the call last night. So situation is you're tied bottom
of the eleventh wasn't it. I didn't write that down
bottom of the eleventh inning? All right, you'd already used
Joe on Duran, your best reliever, and so now both
teams are deeper into their bullpen. But Kirkering is one
(10:36):
of their better guys. But he's also a younger guy.
He got bases loaded already at an intense moment. You
get a ground ball hit back to you, no problem
at all, except for the fact that you bobble it.
Still no problem at all. You can see JT. Real Muto,
the Phillies catcher, casually pointing to first and certainly yelling
(10:57):
it out to Kirkering to throw it to first, and
in his panic of bobbling the baseball, he scurries for it,
grabs it, and decides to then throw home and through
it wildly all the way to the backstop. And that's
how you lose the game. That's how the Philly season,
and they certainly had World Series aspirations, came to a
(11:18):
crashing halt.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, I mean we heard about we were watching that
game on the flight back.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And then sure enough. Right when they go.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Into extrames, it's time to get off the plane, and
I'm happy by getting off.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Really speedy process. By the way, nice job humans, You
really do a good job at this. Yeah, really really,
really efficient. That's the when people at the backs stand
up at first, it's like you're not going anywhere. Just
sit in your seat till it's your turn.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
I didn't stand up quickly, but I end up standing
up before it's my turn to walk because I've been
sitting for a long time. But it was We didn't
get to see the end of it, so it ends
up being something that we find out about basically in
our travels back to Master Park and getting all that
stuff figured out when I ended up watching it when
I got home.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
My I mean, I bust.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Pitchers balls all the time and like to call them
non athletes and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yesterday was a prime example of that. By the way.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
The first run that put Philly on the board and
gave the lead was from a pitcher not catching a
ball that goes in and ends up coming around to
score later on the way they tied it up was
a walk with the bases loaded by Johan Duran and
then they end up losing the game. Basically with that,
it was just one of those got rattled because he
(12:30):
clanked the little broken bat chopper back to him and thought, oh,
maybe it'll be quicker to throw home and just makes
a bad throw instead of throwing it at the first base.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I feel horrible for that game. Right now, Dodgers advance
to the NLCS again. They await the winner of Milwaukee
and Chicago, who are now tied at two as the
Cubs won both of their games at home. Game five
will be Saturday night, five o'clock and they will play
that in Wisconsin. We've got other things other than baseball
to get to a huge event last night, and that
(13:00):
is that the Kraken played their season opener out at
Climate Pledge Arena, blue carpet our group out there from
ten am all the way to postgame last night. And
the good news is we got to celebrate a victory
and Vince Done scores the first goal of the year.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Schwartz ticks the feed, brings it over the right Wick
side at Lanier Circle, sends it up top.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Adam Larson now for Todd shot sto pits.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Don kicks off season five with this first goal of
the season seventeen thirty nine to play in the first
one nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Seattle alright, ever it fits you on it last night,
very first game, very first goal scorer call of the season,
and he sounded wonderful. It was like butter, Yeah, like putter.
So Vin's done. Hey stick around this year, Vince, maybe
play the whole season? Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Please?
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Mason Marchman score the game winning goals. It turns out
in his first game as a member of the Crack
and head coach Lane Lambert wins his first game on
the bench. But Joey to coord was the star of
the game. He shines thirty five saves and thirty six tries.
He had Ian Furness and Mike Benton just gushing about
his performance last night. The team will host the Golden
(14:19):
Knights in their second game of the year Climate Pledge
tomorrow at seven pm. Congratulations Kracking. I wish we had
a little more time to talk about it, but the
OCHO must roll on it AM number five Tonight the
Huskies are in action. That's right, it is game day
for the Washington Huskies. They will be hosting the Scarlet
Knights of Rutgers. This is a team that traditionally just
(14:41):
loves to run the football, and even though they run
the ball more than they throw the ball, they aren't
having any success running the ball compared to how much
success they're having throwing the football. I asked Cam Cleland
about that on Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
I don't know when I see Rutgers, They're not going
to change who they are, no doubt they're going to
change it. You're going to make a team one dimensional.
Then you have to adjust and be more physical upfront
with the defense.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And Jay Mono was awesome.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
I mean, here's a kid that talking about stepping in
for Buddha out and you're not upgrading, but it is
dam impressive at linebacker. And if you get to Carrio
back then okay. Alex McLoughlin is the number one safety
and Pro Football Focus grading out wise and tackle ability
in space. That is that young kid big getting shout out.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
To long hair Ginger. He's the dude.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
And so your defense is getting better and your d
line is getting better. That to me is I'm noticing
a big difference with how well coach Walter is getting
this defense to really fit and control Nolling in the
run game. But being a little more aggressive with their
blitz package.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Too, Cam Cleveland. He'll be on the call with Tony
castra Cone starting at six o'clock tonight at home right
here at your flagship sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
which mains Softy on the Hanks, will start at two o'clock.
You'd I'm gonna try and accommodate interest in the Mariners
game for as long as they can tonight, but there
is only so much that they can do with that.
(16:09):
Just going to be a wild, wild, memorable night in
Seattle sports, there's no question about it. And if you
see Softy, be kind to him. He's really torn apart
by not being able to be in two places at once.
Maybe if we didn't care on the party, good we should,
he'd be okay with it. For this situation, he was
willing to take a crossbro bow to the butt. Yeah,
(16:30):
and so he'd really like to be split into right
now so he could be in both places at once.
Kug's will be in action at ol Miss oh Man,
you signed up for a rough one there. Kug's first
kickoff will take place. I'm almost called it first pitch
at nine forty five tomorrow morning. John Mattier, former Kok quarterback,
is probable for the Red River rivalry against Texas at
(16:52):
twelve thirty tomorrow, and then in the Big Ten some
huge games including number one Ohio State at number seventeen,
Illinois be intimidating to play, and that's in that hall
with all of its history, and then yeah, Indiana at
number seven taking on the Oregon Ducks. Number three, item
number six. Seahawks will be in Jacksonville, Florida to take
(17:13):
on the Jaguars. Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider, was on
with US an hour ago talking about whether or not
the Seahawks can get a pass rush against Trevor Lawrence,
who's only been sacked six times this year.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Lawrence gets them all out really quickly. I mean everyone
in the league does now, but Lawrence in particular. They
throw a lot of short routes. William Cohen has him
running a lot of quick stuff, so that's when tackling
comes in. So they may not have big sack numbers
on Sunday, but they could still affect a quarterback more
than they did Baker Mayfield. Lawrence not quite as elusive
and a decisive a runner as Mayfield is, so tackle
(17:49):
when they throw a three yard pass, make it a
three yard game instead of a ten yard game. Did
too many ten yard twelve yard games out of two
and three yard passes against Tampa Bay. That's the focus
for them. I would expect to steady that at TN
on Sunday. Tackling it's fundamental. It's key for three yard games.
To say, three yard games on Soday. I think that's
(18:09):
the key to the game.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Tackling a key to football. As it turns out, Yeah,
it's helpful. Is that cliche? The Hawks are three and
two on the season, so there's a chance. I mean,
and I think we all feel that they're better than
a five hundred team. I don't know there are many
Seahawks fans out there. I think this is an average
football team. But if we lose to a four and
one Jaguars team on the road for an early start,
(18:35):
the Seahawks are flying home three and three. It just
doesn't feel like they're a five hundred football team. But
they're going to have to win in order to avoid that.
After the sixth game mark of the season, the Seahawks
have moved from underdog to favorite by the way in Vegas. Meanwhile,
there's other action, of course, On Sunday six thirty am
kickoff from London, the Denver Broncos taking on the New
(18:58):
York Jets. You got the ram and the Baltimore Ravens.
That would have been a great matchup on paper at
the beginning of the year, but the Ravens can't win,
so they might be trying to save their season against
a really good football team. Afternoons, Santan Francisco at Tampa
Bay's the game to watch, and then the Sunday night
game will be Detroit at Kansas City. The week in
the NFL got started last night with the Giants absolutely
(19:21):
stunning the world champion Philadelphia Eagles thirty four to seventeen
behind rookies Jackson Dart and Cam Scataboo. I think I
(19:47):
think we need this Canabou shit Scot boom, Scout up boom,
Scout up boom, ripping off his shirt with Ryan Fitzpatrick
and the postgame show there on Amazon Prime. But Scataboo
not hard to believe. He's already become a fan favorite
with the Giants. Everybody loves him and I did like
though Ryan Fitzpatrick gently unbuttoning his shirt. He didn't want
(20:10):
to ruin his Skatabu is like I will rip this
in pieces. WNBA Finals, by the way, could wrap up
tonight Game four of five o'clock. The Aces, by the
end of this evening could be world champs once again.
They are up three to zero on the Mercury. All right,
coming up next more on game five tonight between the
Tigers and the Mariners. It's Chuck and Bock Sports Radio
(20:32):
ninety three point three KHARFM, and we're gonna talk plenty
of football coming up with Hugh Millen and Coach Homer
and they will be with us in our nine o'clock hour.
We also got a little bit of college football to
talk about today. It's been almost an entire baseball show,
but this might be the last big segment that we have,
so let's go through it. Let's just go right through it.
Pitching game plan for tonight, We've already discussed it a
(20:53):
couple of times. Maybe there's a wrinkle that we haven't discussed.
But I think that you and I are both on
in the same step that George eats as long as
he's devouring uh and yet it's a quick pull. I
don't think anybody's gonna be there's no way with Luis
Castillo there in the wings and your entire bullpen at
(21:13):
your fingertips, and Munjo's fully rested and can go you know,
six outs if you need him to. Maybe even beyond
that that you're gonna let any kind of scuffle or
open yourself up to carry Carpenter against George Kirby with
guys on base again, I don't think that's going to happen.
So as long as he's devouring, you just keep letting
him eat. But I do believe the game plan will
(21:36):
be that no one gets to struggle, no one gets
to put guys on base. We can't risk anybody giving
up a three run homer tonight.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah, I mean it's how you get him on I
suppose it would matter a little bit to me, right,
I mean, you get some swinging bunt and a jam
shot the bloops over the over first base. I don't
know for sure if I'm yanking him just because it's like, well,
because then you didn't you're not really hit. Now you
get you give up a couple of hard hit balls. Yeah,
you're you're making a change, don't. I don't want as
(22:07):
I trust you have to trust your bullpen, but I
don't trust them more than I trust the starting dudes
we have, and that so that was where there's a
feel part of it. I wouldn't have a game plan then,
I'm just dead set on it if it's if it
works out the way that it could work out for me.
I mean, if we can get George to just mow
down for four innings, if all of a sudden in
(22:29):
the fifth he gets in trouble, maybe you bring in
Aspire for a match up there to get out of
that inning Bang bang. Then you maybe go get a
couple of innings out of out of Luis Castillo if
you want to, unless you feel that you have better matchups,
which I don't know where that would be in the bullpen,
and then Brash and Munno's bang bang to finish the
whole thing. That would be like the optimum way for me.
(22:50):
I want to be able to trust George, and yet
it's going to be a short leash just simply because
of how crucial this game is.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, well, I think that I use I'm planning to
use Munjos for a couple of innings. I'm planning to
use Brash for an inning tonight, and I'm planning to
use some sort of combination of Kirby and Castillo for
like five. And if it's just Kirby, then all five,
that's fine. But the moment that anybody is in trouble,
especially that Carpenter matchup, I'm using everybody else just to
(23:19):
fill in the cracks. I'm not committing to a game
spier for more than get me this left hand er
out and get out of the inning, and then I'm
taking you out and I'm starting with somebody else freshly
very next inning. All right, offensive game plan this we
didn't get to a little bit earlier.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Are you.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Just gonna rely on what we did in Game two
against school Ball? And that's just let everybody just try
to hit a solo home run here. That's how we're
going to score runs, because it's very hard to string
hits against this guy, and he doesn't walk a lot
of guys as well. Or do you try to play
a little small ball, maybe lay down a couple of months.
He's not a very good fielder. He doesn't hold runners
(23:58):
on very well. Do you try to steal some bases?
Do you try to create some havoc? Try to get
him off of his game by doing some things that
normally you don't do, but you are capable of doing
them the most. I mean I'd do a little bit
of both. I mean I would.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
If I'm run under a rose arena, probably isn't gonna
do it. But if I'm JP, I might bring a
bunt with me right lefty, un lefty. Tough matchup. Now
he's gotten a knockoff and before it's not like he's
it's impossible. Your dudes that you flat out and rely
on for them to do damage, then they're gonna go
up there trying to do damage. If you have, If
your guy that has the capability of putting some pressure
(24:36):
on him fielding his position, do it. We've seen it.
It's not just that one that he not snapped. He
struggles a little bit coming off the mound and making
plays and so putting that extra seed in his mind
and then stealing. The lefties don't like when you are aggressive.
Now he doesn't have a bad move, but he doesn't move.
He doesn't come over there all that often. A lot
of lefties don't because they think I'm looking at you.
(24:58):
You won't go when I'm looking at you. They need
to go a little bit. They need to put some
pressure on them. I think that is part of our
game plan. When we're playing our best, we're making we're
making it difficult on them defensively, just basically with our aggressiveness.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
So I want him to do that.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
But ultimately, this team does live and die at times
by the long ball. And you know, the weather's kind
of rolling in. Maybe the ball ain't going to carry
quite as much. But we got enough guys that if
they arrive on time, he will supply the power. You
don't got to be big, you just got to be
on time.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, Well that's what I'm wondering. If they don't want
to run into any outs, they want to preserve as
many as they can for the long ball. I think
there's an expectation that is going to be a low
scoring game tonight. And the other thing, the most rattle
I've ever seen Trek Schoolble is when he hit a
guy in the face with a pitch. Maybe Luke Rayley,
(25:47):
Who's who are you going to have to be sacrificial lamb? Hey?
But go try to bunt one up there and wear
it in your face. I mean, if anyone could softy
and would do it. Yeah. I don't know if that's
worse than a bow of crossbow of the butt or not.
I think it's about the same. Finally, I just want
to mention this again. Defense, I think it's crucial tonight.
(26:10):
I think not not allowing extra outs to the Detroit
Tigers could be essential, and not just that. I think
taking some hits away. We got Rod Blaze, we got Rodriguez,
We've got some and we got col behind the plate
throwing people. I think defense could play a really big role.
We at least at the very minimum, have to be
(26:30):
clean tonight, and I think maybe there'll be a requirement
to be spectacular a time or two. You got to
keep this thing low scoring, and hard way of keeping
it low scoring is by giving a team an extra
out at any point during the course of the game.
So I think defense we've got to be stellar tonight. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Well, I mean this time of year, every ever out matters,
and if you give a team an extra one just
because of how dialed in the hitters are and the
added pressure it puts on the pitch to have to
try to get a fourth or a fifth out in
an inning, and it hardly ever works out.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
But in the postseason works out even harder. All right,
coming up next, What a huge night that we have
for year at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
And what a huge night that the Seattle sports fan
finds itself up against. I mean, it has been one
heck of a weekend, and so we will preview the night,
the entire night next. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
(27:28):
A team of scientists have been working around the clock
to try to figure out how to clone Dave Maler,
And I mean not with just like another Softy, you know,
baby softy, but like with one his exact age, with
his exact knowledge of what has happened to this point
in his life as a Seattle sports fan, so that
(27:48):
that clone can go to the Mariners game while he's
doing Huskies probably would lead to the end of the world.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Great.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I love how he told me. He said, I'm going
to find a quiet corner to watch the Mariners game.
And I'm like, no corner remains quiet once you've entered it,
not on like a normal moment, let alone that moment
quiet corner instantly becomes a loud corner, the loudest. Yeah.
When soft he enters it. I feel for him, though,
(28:17):
I feel for him. It's quite a night here in
Seattle sports, and it's gonna be tough on soft. He'll
be hosting the Hawks at two o'clock and then the
kickoff is at six. Meanwhile, our baseball game first pitches
at five o'clock, so we can split our interests, but
we can't be two places at once. And fortunately, but
(28:38):
the Hosky's in action tonight against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
There's a little bit of vengeful taste, I think on
the lips of Jetfish in this game. And he's also
facing a Rutgers team that has the same identity they've
always had. They are going to try to run the football.
They run the ball more than they throw the football,
but they haven't had near the success running the ball
as they've had throwing the football. So as Cam Cleveland
(29:01):
struggled with on Wednesday. That's the challenge tonight is we
obviously have to play to stop the run because that's
going to be how they beat us. And yet their
passing game is what's dangerous about Rutgers. How do you
defend that but.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Try to do both?
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I guess right, I may I continue to make it
difficult for them to run the ball even though because
they they commit to it, and yet they basically strike
and score through the air. So I don't know exactly
how you do it, but I rely on those big
long dbs and then hopefully your defense is stout up front.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, I still don't think we have an update. I
mean I have been flying back from Detroit on Tacario Davis.
Don't know if he's playing just yet. Last I heard
that it was still up in the air. But six
o'clock kickoff for the Dogs and the nights that will
get the evening started to get that. I should say.
The week started in the Big Ten. But what a
(29:56):
week in the Big Ten. Eight different matchups, all conference games,
so nobody is on by this week it'll be Ohio
State at Illinois as the nine am kickoff. That's one
versus seventeen in the country. UCLA the fighting Jerry Neuheisel's
trying to make it two in a row. There'll be
an East Lansing taking on SPARTI. Yeah, we just saw
(30:17):
we spend some time with some Spartans here the last
couple of days nine am kickoff there between Michigan State
and the Bruins. Then in the twelve to thirty kickoffs,
you'll have Northwestern at Penn State, you'll have Nebraska at Maryland,
and then the big game of the weekend is number
seven Indiana at number three Oregon. It's very funny about
these two teams because they're kind of known as finesse teams.
(30:41):
They are not finesse teams. Indiana and Oregon try to
beat you the hell up, and yes they've got some
weapons offensively, but these are teams that are strong in
the trenches. Illinois couldn't move the ball against Indiana, and
they've got a pretty good team. Meanwhile, Oregon is a
t that almost for three quarters anyway, was shutting down
(31:04):
Penn State entirely. These two teams are very physical. They're
about trench warfare, even though they're kind of known as
finesse programs.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah, well, I'm hoping and expecting that this is one
where the when it comes to muscle versus muscle that
I think the Ducks might just be a couple of
years ahead of that, because that's not an easy transition
to go from the you know, hurry up offense, high
flying thing that we watched the Ducks do when they
kind of came became a decent team and have been
(31:35):
talked about, and I think hopefully Indiana is still a
couple of years behind on getting that much sand in
their pants.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I hope Indiana beats them. Yeah, stupid, Yeah, Ashley, who
are you oping to wins Indiana?
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yea Indian beats them by I think that's shocky happy
that your guys' weekend will suck at that moment.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
At that moment only, I'm not an Indiana fan at all.
As a matter of fact, they grew up considering them
a rival. But I hope they went by fifty. Uh.
Iowa at Wisconsin is the four o'clock kickoff, Michigan at
USC for thirty, and then Minnesota hosting Purdue. No one
really cares that's at four thirty tonight or on Saturday
as well. So there you go. Let's wrap up the
(32:16):
segment and then head into our nine o'clock hour here
on a football and baseball Tito's Friday. By just quickly
going through our green jacket fantasy teams. Ashley's leading the
way right now with four eighty five Bucky past Kid
this past week. Kid's just like I'm not dropping anybody.
I love my roster. I don't care if they're all
on buy in one week. I don't give a damn.
(32:37):
I'm going to win it in the end. Bucky's got
four to thirty four. Kid has for twenty nine, and
even though I scored one hundred points this past week,
had by best week by far, I'm still one hundred
points back of third place. So I got a lot
of work to do. So we always do pickups. Kid
is passing again from the number one pickup position. Ashley,
you've got the next pickup position. I am going to
(33:00):
up Wayman Jordan okay, and drop Nick Marsh. I believe
it is who I had. All right, Yeck Marsh, the
wide receiver out of Michigan State. Buck, are you making
any move? I am not making a move this week.
I am not making a move either. So Ashley is
the only person with a move this week, as she
adds the trojan running back. All right, here we go
nine o'clock hour, x'es and o's with Hugh Miller next
(33:22):
on KJR.
