Every one morning. It's some time.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Good morning class ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Behold introducing six one guard from Brighton, Illinois and former
high school basketball stand.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
What the hell does that meet? Jumped?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Any conclusions?
Speaker 5 (00:18):
No, not a god, You've got to lower lower your expectations.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hard to believe he could once send a fastball to
Pluto in getting Bucky Jacobs and vibes and former.
Speaker 6 (00:29):
I'll just openly admit I'm a fat, out of shaped
X athlete.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Now there's been a noticeable spike in your blood pressure.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
A five seven guard and a former college water polo
national champions.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
A lot of useless crap up here.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Wow, this is Chuck and Buck in the Morning with
Ashley Ryan.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
What do you buy to lay?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Look casino resort and quilsee the Creek Draft King Sports
Book where the action never stopped you.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Good morning and welcome in.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
It's Chuck It back in the Morning Sports Radio ninety
three point three k j R FM. My name is
Chuck Fowel. Former Mariner Bucket Jacobson is here, so is
Ashley Ryan. As we get this home day edition of
the radio program started, but not just any old run
of the mill hump Day Today, Mark's Game three of
the American League Championship Series. The Mariners back home to
(01:36):
take on the Toronto Blue Jays. They happen to carry
a two to o lead going into tonight's festivities and
a chance to really grab a stranglehold on this ALCS.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And really get the juices going.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I think that Softy made it very obvious to me,
like the moment that it.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Happened, that's as our close US signs on.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
You get a win today and you're even closer to
the World Series than that. This would be that marked
the closest that the organization's ever gotten to the World Series,
being just one win away and so certain.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
But I like that. I kind of like that.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I like having the two oh lead kind of taken
care of business, but still carrying the weight of that
history with you. If there's a team that's not going
to take for granted that they've got a two to
oh lead in the American League Championship Series, it's going
to be our Seattle Mariners. Those players feel it, they
know it, they understand it. I think they've cracked a
(02:35):
little bit under the pressure of it in the past.
But to have the advantage to be have the momentum
to be coming home knowing what kind of home crowd
awaits you. I think it's good to carry that around
a little bit because I don't think you're getting anything
less than one hundred percent tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah they're well, they're not. They're definitely not like in a.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Position of like, well, we're used to this, of course,
and yeah, to we know what it feels like to
close this situation out. I just think about the difference
between the Mariners and Dodgers. Both did the same thing,
go win two games on the road, and yet you
hear the Dodgers people coming out you're two wins away
from the World Series again, like it just seems like.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It'll be posted that yesterday on x Yeah. Yeah, Dodgers
are two wins away from the World Series.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Yeah, and yet it just doesn't even feel like you
can go there yet as a Mariner fan, like, I
mean you are, and it is, well, the first pitch tonight,
you're as close.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
As you've ever been.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
And yet I think there is a part of it
off if you just take like the difference between the
two teams that are sitting in the same place. One
is like, boy, the job being finished because of the history,
because of the fact they've never achieved the goal of
winning a third game in this situation, and then when
in obviously the necessary fourth game.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
I think that there is, without a doubt a team
of there's still work to be done. And the mission
wasn't to get to the playoffs. It wasn't to just
get through one round of the playoffs. It was to
get to the World Series and then once you're there,
you might as well win the whole LEFN thing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It was interesting though, because with that MLB tweet where
they said, Dodgers are you know, two wins away from
the World Series. Again, when the Mariners went up to
oh in Toronto, I went back to see what they
had said about like what they tweeted when we won,
and it was the Mariners are take a two zero
lead against Toronto and just the wording was different. But
I understand that because the expectations are different, right like
(04:27):
for our series, I think nobody thinks that our series
is even close to over, whereas you can tell they
think that Dodgers Brewers series is basically over because now
they're heading to LA for three games.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I think people think our series is over.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I'm just glad that our guys don't right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I would agree.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I haven't gotten that impression.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Yeah yeah, So I mean I don't I don't get
I don't see a lot of don't worry about Toronto
comments out there. I think that what we showed in
Toronto had everybody going, oh gosh, wow, look at this
Mariners team. Not only are we've been saying for years
if they got in the playoffs, they would be dangerous.
(05:14):
And now all of a sudden, they got over that
first hump where the real pressure existed, and now, man,
they're just playing free and easy out there right now.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Don't listen to the guys in New York.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
New York media have their heads so far up New
York's but that they don't pay attention to anybody.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
That's not called the Yankees, the Mets. But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I mean, we just had Harold on yesterday and asked
him where's the path that the Blue Jays get back
in this thing? And he says, I really don't see one.
I mean, granted, he's a Mariner guy, but he's also
a national guy. He's the face of the damn network,
for goodness sake. So I think people believe both series
are over. I'm just glad that our players don't feel
(05:58):
that way. Won't approach it that way. Damn, We'll make
sure they don't approach it that way. I want them
to carry the weight of the entire city on their
shoulders into tonight and acting like they don't.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
We can't slip up once. We don't want them back
into this series.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I think George goes in there with the furious intent
and there is absolutely a plan to start it off
three to oher and not in any way or form
let Toronto think that they're back in this series.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, I mean I don't remember.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
I saw somewhere what the percentages are of once you
get up to zero, and it's minimal. I mean, it's
not a big percentage of teams that do come back
in a seven game series after going down to zip.
And yet the fact that it's not zero is enough
that you better not. Yeah, overlook it. It has happened
before it can happen. I mean it was four I
(06:52):
think was that first that when the Red Sox came
back from down three zip right and came back, and
so that was seen insurmountable at that point in time.
They were still carrying the burden of the curse, and
yet they ended up rallying and finding a way. So
I mean, it's just you can just think. I mean,
I think as a baseball player, you find yourself in
(07:13):
the you got to stay where you are present, right
and whatever happened before doesn't matter now, and we don't
know what the future holds, so just treat the present
like a gift. I think that that comes true in
a situation like this, because the field could be completely
different if tonight goes really south and all of a sudden,
you're like, oh man, because I mean just two to
(07:33):
zero feels like basically undefeat in this whole thing.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I mean, kind of killing.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Them right now, whereas two to one you're like, oh
my goodness, you could scuffle one time here you know
tomorrow and next thing you know, you find yourself feeling
like they have seized all the momentum and you're in
some must win situation in Game five before you got
to go back to Toronto. So I think that the
team gets it, and I think that there's times when
(07:58):
the media just kind of just say, well, they look
so good or they the other team, they've stifled them.
I mean, coming into this series, the way in which
Toronto hit against the Yankees, and now they haven't hit
for two games. It doesn't mean they can't hit, you
know what I mean. I heard MJ on my way
home yesterday talking about Vlad Guerrero, what a disappointment. Gave
(08:19):
him half a billion dollars. He hasn't got one hit
in this whole series. It's like, Okay, dude's still pretty good.
I wouldn't just think that he's pretty much.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Won series by himself against the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Yeah, he's still having a pretty decent postseason. He just
has not gotten off the schneid when it comes to
hitting against us in two games. And yet there's not
a pitcher in the Mariners organization. I mean, you can
talk about an a ball kid that's sitting at home
watching the playoffs that isn't a little fearful of Vlad
Guerrero walking up to the dish, including all the guys
are going to be thrown to him.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
And look, DODG just did deserve the benefit of the
doll They are world champions, they do they have gotten here.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Many of times before. We never have.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
So if there is a little bit of you still
got to prove it, they still got to prove it.
So I mean, the Dodgers have been here, they know
they've written this story before, and yeah, they look like
a damn mismatch for the Milwaukee Bers. I think they
are a mismatch for the Milwaukee Bears as not a
great matchup. Milwaukee is a feisty ass team. It's hard
to just put together singles. They're not really trying to
(09:19):
steal bases because they've been thrown out a couple of times.
They can't get on base because the Dodgers pitching has
been just so dominant here throughout the entire postseason.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So I don't watching that series.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I don't blame people for thinking that the Dodgers ticket
is already punched. I kind of feel like we have
a little bit of a mismatch with the Toronto Blue Jays.
I talked about it yesterday with Ryan Healy. I think
we have better starting pitching. I think we have better bullpen,
and I think we have a better lineup. I mean,
what more do you need on paper to convince yourself
you've got the better team. We've just got a better
(09:52):
match up with them. But we don't have the history
of proving that we know how to handle this situation,
that we know how to handle prosperity, that we know
how to finish an American League championship series, because it's
never been done here before. So if there's a little
bit of doubt that's been raised by national pundits, local
(10:14):
pundits in the clubhouse, then that's been earned over fifty
years of the Mariners having never gotten there before. But
in terms of like who looks like the better teams,
it's not just the results. The Brewers are a terrible
matchup for the Dodgers, and I don't and I'd be
saying something different if the Yankees would have beaten the
Blue Jays. We didn't match up nearly as well with
(10:35):
the Yankees as we do the Blue Jays. But I
feel we match up very well against Toronto and should win,
should win in five games.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's my expectation for him.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
But you still, when you've got that entire history being
carried carried on your shoulders, you can't let up for
one second. Keep the foot on the frickin gas pedal.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, and I think too, Yeah, you look at that
Blue Jays Yankees series and how potent the Blue Jays
offense was. I think everybody just thinks, well, just give
them time and they'll find their bats again. Whereas I
mean in the Detroit series, after we played Errek Scuble
in Game two and one, Derek Jeter went on MLB
or Fox whatever it is and said, you know, we
(11:17):
kind of forgot about the Mariner's pitching. Everybody kept talking
about Trek Scooble, Trek scoobl Trek Scuble.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
We forgot about the Mariner's pitching. And I think that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
That's kind of been because it's a more of everybody's
just as good on our team. We don't have mediocre
pitching in that one ace, so people don't tend to
look at us as a collective of dominant pitching.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
I think the idea, yeah, I mean, you need to
have a well rounded team. You'd look at the four
teams that are left in this thing, and they're all
dangerous in their own right.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
They all deserve to be where they are.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
They all have some danger in their lineup, and they
all have some good pitching. I think that yesterday you
saw and you heard it on the broadcast when talking
about the length of the Dodgers' lineup.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
And they had a dude out there that decides to
just go complete game on you too, CG.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
How's that taste.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Yeah, maybe a bullpen is suspect, Well, get it pretty
good if they all just stay in the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
It's a really good bullpen.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Matter of fact, you can't score a run on them
if they never come in the game, and that's not
going to continue to happen. But I think that it's
something we've talked about because we follow this team. And
yet even if you do pay attention to it, to
your point, actually, even if you do recognize how good
the Mariner's pitching staff is, it's not something that is typical.
This is not something you typically watch where you get
(12:35):
to see It's like you talk about, you can never
take a deep breath. You can never take a deep
breath when you have a deep lineup. Think about you
get down into the six spot and it's Tasker Hernandez
or yesterday or whatever.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Think about it.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
On the other hand, when you're a hitter and you
never get to take a breath based on who's going
to be starting against you the next day, Whereas there
is times I can tell you from experience, you all
of a sudden are facing some dude, it's not their best,
it's the third or fourth best pitcher, and you're like, today,
I'm having a day today, you know, I mean, I'm
feeling good about the way that things are going to
(13:09):
go today. You can't have that feeling. I don't care
who it is that the Mariners are running out there
against you, And so it's just kind of one of
those constantly walking up hill when it comes to trying
to generate offense against the squad.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Well, it's the best starting rotation in baseball. And maybe
Philadelphia could have had that argument before Zach Wheeler went down,
but nobody else can make that argument. The Dodgers went healthy.
They have the ability to make that argument, and we're
seeing it. They're finally all healthy. They got healthy at
the right time this year as opposed to a year ago.
(13:41):
They can make that argument potentially, and they're playing like
it right now.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And they're going to be a really.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Difficult matchup if in fact we do meet the Dodgers
in the in the World Series. But yeah, I believe me.
You know, maybe Derek Jeter was sleeping on it. No
national people were sleeping on the Marion. And they've been
talking about for five years how great this team's pitch,
and know how relentless that they can be, night after
night after night coming at you. And we'll see it
(14:07):
hopefully tonight with George Kirby. Also something that people are
a little worried about showing up tonight is how much
Royal Blue is going to be in the stadium. We
know during the regular season that Toronto fans, Canadian baseball
fans who have adopted the Blue Jays as their team
(14:28):
from coast to coast make their way down and kind
of take over the stadium during the regular season, so
there's a little bit of concern about whether or not
that's going to happen tonight. I really can't answer that.
I don't know of any well, maybe some ticket people can.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I don't know what to expect on that front. I'm
assuming the.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Way that they sell tickets for the postseason and the
fact that Mariner fans who might have tickets have probably
held onto them much more tightly than they would have
a regular season ticket to make sure that that doesn't happen.
But certainly there's going to be a few people that
bought tickets initially with the plan of selling tickets at
(15:11):
some point, Donald, I want to go to one or
two games, and then I want to sell a ticket
to some Canadian uh, and then I get to go.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Then that means I could have gone for free, or
w I did go for free. I can't.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I don't think anybody can handicap this. I have no
idea what to expect. I certainly predict that it won't
be like it looks like in the regular season. But
I'm also just as sure that it's going to be
a lot more Toronto weed than it was Detroit Y
last week.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
I mean, they're still going to have some folks that
are coming down, and yeah, some people are selling tickets
for the reasons you explained. It's like, oh again, buy
a little strip here for you know, whether it's through
all of the playoffs and I can give up a
couple and get some of my money back. I don't
even have a problem with that. I actually don't even
mind it. It's definitely not going to be like it
is in the regular season. When you can plan ahead
(16:04):
for months to make a trip down here to watch
your Blue Jays play, and it's you know, beautiful weather,
and it's not going to be near the takeover that
we see during the regular season. And to some degree,
I kind of think, because you are going to get
a full house of mostly Mariner fans, that if they
try there, let's go Blue Jay.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
If they try that, it's going to get drowned out quickly.
You know.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
It's actually going to give the Mariner fans an opportunity
to be like, no, no, And so I'm expecting it
to be hyped. I mean, even though there's definitely gonna
be more Blue Jay fans here than we saw Tiger fans,
not enough that.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
It's going to matter.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, that's one thing that I was I was, I
guess maybe surprised by is that I didn't see a
lot of Tigers fans. I think I would have expected
to see more given that it was Game five, but
at the same time, knowing that they hadn't even really
shown up in their own stadium, I suppose.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I was a fan base with respecting the Mariners. I
don't think they ever expected to beat us.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
No, I.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Mean, we've seeing Game four in that stadium. It didn't
seem like it, And so I do think there are
going to be a good number, and that is annoying.
But I mean, kudos to them, Good on them for
supporting their team. But yeah, we've got to We've got
a job to do. Mariunderstands it's not just the team
that has a job to do. Mariners fans have a
job to do and a responsibility to not let those
fans take over the stadium.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
A responsibility that's right to walk that dog. Well, I again,
I don't know. I mean, I've had a lot of
people ask is they're.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Gonna be I don't know. Yeah, no, one doesn't. I
mean maybe, I hope not. I'm certainly it's not going
to be as bad. I don't know how to control that.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I don't know if the Mariners know how to control that.
So on an individual basis, if any everybody that's a
Mariner fan decides to sell their tickets to make up
for it, and they think to themselves, well it's just
one ticket, it's just two tickets. Well, if you know
a thousand people do that, well they're going to get infiltrated.
I have no idea what to expect with this, but
(17:58):
I'm certainly trust that it's not going to be as
bad as it was during the regular season. And I'm
also trusting that we're going to have kind of a
maniacal crowd like we did on Friday, because that was
some impressive stuff to see to close out the Tigers.
All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's
radio program.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
What's on TEP, what's on TEP?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
All right, five pm start tonight. It will be Shane
Bieber going against George Kirby. Angie Mentink will join us
today as she has all season long, and of course
you don't get as much Angie in your life these
days now that the national networks have taken over coverage
from the local people. So I'm sure you're very curious
to hear what Angie has to say about the way
the series is going. So we'll talk to her at
(18:46):
eight thirty. Also, comedian Dustin Nickerson, who is become one
of our favorite Mariner fans out there. He's going to
be joining us today at nine thirty. If you're not
following along with him, living and dying with every pitch
on Twitter, you need to do it. It's actually very
(19:06):
comical as it turns out.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
He's a comedian.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
He is one of us, so he'll join us today
at nine thirty.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Brian Woo says he's ready.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
The only thing that he has left to cross off
the list in terms of getting to pitch in a
playoff game is being told it's time to pitch in
a playoff game. So he believes physically he's one hundred
percent and he is ready to go and ready to
potentially dominate. We'll see how the Mariners intend to use
him as this series unfolds. As we mentioned, the Dodgers
(19:36):
are up two to zero in the National League Championship Series.
They defeated Milwaukee last night by a final score of
five to one.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's hump Day and.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Usually this is when we really dive into the seahawks
next opponent that will be the Houston Texans. But we
do have an extra day because this is Monday Night
football week for the Seahawks, and so hump Day gets
a little clouded when it comes to the Hawks on
a Monday night football week. Greg Bell will join us
today at seven five though, to give us the latest information,
(20:08):
it's Thursday night football even the National Football League Tomorrow
the Steelers will be at Cincinnati. That's pretty much the
Bengals last gasp effort to try to get back into
this playoff race, as they'll take on the Steelers at home.
Joe Flacco against Aaron Rodgers, two forty plus year old
quarterbacks going head to head on Thursday night. Football College
(20:29):
football Huskies have a huge game against the Michigan Wolverines
at the Big House this Saturday. Cam Cleveland will join
us today at eight o'clock to discuss it. And the
Montreal Canadians did defeat the Kraken last night by a
final score of five to four, but it did go
into overtime, so we got a point. Allison and Ian
(20:49):
both seem to be really happy with that point. When
you think about it. Yeah, you go on the road
for the very first time, it's their home opener. You
put four goals on the board, and you lose because
a guy skates right and has about three inches to
get the ball the puck into the net. It hits
off Joey to Cord's shoulder and it was the only
(21:10):
three inches of the net that he wasn't protecting and
it went into the goal.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And that's how you lose the game.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Yeah, so you get a point out of it. You've
got to point out of all three games thus far.
And so they'll continue the road trip later on this week.
But they did lose an overtime last night, five to four.
All right, we are underway here on this Wednesday. The
ABC's of the m's coming your way early this morning,
as a matter of fact, next on Sports Radio ninety
(21:36):
three point three KHARFM. There are other things during our
four hours together, but the ab seeds of the MS
coming your way early here this morning. We use the
alphabet as a guide. They're a daily Mariner segment, and
we are right at the beginning of the alphabet starting today.
It rolled over on us yesterday. And so a is
(21:57):
four attrition, which is usually what is described when you
talk about a Major League Baseball season and getting into
the Major League Baseball playoffs. You think about what you
have to go through, the players that you lose because
of injuries, and a lot of teams. By the end
of the year, you know, you typically don't have your
(22:18):
healthiest group, you don't have your ideal starting lineup, you
don't have your ideal starting rotation. And it's another one
of the things to be excited about if you're a
Mariner fan. And I think it's a credit to the organization,
especially their pitchers, and the way that they tend to
keep them healthy. I think Brian Wu probably would have
pitched through that injury on another organization, but because of
(22:41):
our starting pitching depth, you didn't have to risk that
until you were sure he was one hundred percent before
you put him back into a lineup. We haven't really
suffered from that. I think about when we faced the
Toronto Blue Jays. We got swept by them at home
a little bit earlier this year, and I went back
to look at those lineups, Bucky. Last we played the
Blue Jays, they finished off a sweep against us. Here's
(23:03):
our We had Rowdy Tellez hitting sixth, Leodi tavera Is
hitting seventh, Dylan Moore hitting eighth, and Ben.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Williamson hitting ninth. I think maybe we've improved the lineup
since that time.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Yeah, and we had coming out of the bullpen that
day Legumina, Snyder and Taylor Wow, three guys that didn't
even make our postseason roster. Yeah. So that was forty
games into the season. Logan Evans pitched game number two
of that series, they injured Bryce Miller pitched game number
(23:37):
three and gave up seven runs and two innings that day,
which forced you to pitch at one point in that game.
Leo Revas actually pitched in that game. And so, I mean,
it's a complete We have a completely different team. We
have a better team than we had when we faced
the Blue Jays earlier this year. And that's the beautiful
thing about the postseason. The hard part about it is
(23:59):
some people, we'll get through one hundred and sixty two
games and then a round of the playoffs or two
rounds of the playoffs, and they're just beaten down. Toronto
doesn't have Bob Baschett right now. For example, the Dodgers
a year ago had one healthy starting pitcher at the
better this year one healthy starting pitcher at the end
of last season. The Mariners have a almost their ideal
(24:20):
lineup available to them, plus the two guys that they
added at the trading deadline, and all five of our
starting pitchers in our rotation, our ideal starting rotation, are
healthy and ready to go again. I mean, at the
ten game mark, Luke Rayley was hitting fifth for US,
didn't even make the roster this round. We had Miles
(24:41):
master Bony in game number two of that first series
with the Blue Jays, which we won by the way,
two out of three games, leading off in game number one.
So yeah, he was our leadoff hitter in that game.
So it's just, you know, there's facing Toronto at the
ten game mark, and then there's face them at the
forty game mark, and then there's facing them in the
(25:03):
American League Championship Series when you are clearly throwing your
best that you have available to you, and we just
have more available to us than they do.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
M M yeah, I mean the the the lineup part
of it, I did not realize. I mean, I obviously
remember when we had Rowdy and and and company, But
I didn't remember ever having Miles leading off. And yet
there was before the trade deadline, there was holes, if
you will, or things I would just say, soft spots
(25:31):
in the lineup. You didn't you most certainly didn't have
the thought of once we get either yeah, once you
get past yeah, once you get past five or six,
you know, there most certainly was a okay, you could
take a deep a little bit of a deep breath,
and I like how some of those guys battled a
little bit, Williamson in particular, uh for getting his first taste.
But yeah, there's no doubt about it. That lineup is better.
(25:54):
There's one I mean, people can criticize Jerry and Justin
and sure there's things to criticize, but one thing you
can't criticize is their eye for talent one their ability
to develop it on the pitching side of things. And
they have some hitters too. For those that can't wait
to text in the will, they don't have never delivered
a or developed a hitter. It's like, I guess Kle
just hit He's got sixty two homers. He kind of
(26:15):
came up to the organization Julio's I mean, if he
just keeps up this Trendy's under the way to the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
But yeah, you're right, they can't do that.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Pitching wise, though, they have without a doubt, figured out
a way that they have some sort of formula. This
is what we like, and then this is how we're
going to bring him up. And then when we get
him here. As much as it is difficult, I'm sure
for a manager and a front office and and the
player to to not go out there and play full
blast when you're just kind of dinged up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
This team fe has figured out how.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
To do that too, because they know right now is
the most important part time to be healthy, and so
they did. They put Brian Wuo on the shelf for
a little bit and hopefully he's going to be ready
to rock and roller soon.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, Naylor over tell As, Uh, you know, can zone
over Rayley, roblaze over Tavares.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
And you're playing your best nine night and day.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Yeah, you're playing your best nine, so you're not worried
about giving guys days off all of that stuff. So yeah,
it's just a it's a it's just a different different rosters.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
It's a different time of the year.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
And uh, and I think that anybody that's surprised that
our two and zero start isn't really looking at the
talent because I think we have it in spades over
the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
All right.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Be as for Bieber, now, this has been a change.
This has been additioned to the Toronto organization. Cleveland made
a strange trade at the deadline, moving on from one
of the best pitchers in franchise history, uh and sending
him to Toronto, even though Cleveland ended up getting back
into the race and eventually won the division. For goodness sake,
(27:54):
probably would have liked to add Shane Bieber against the
Tigers in the playoffs for all the well, he's not
the Bieber that he's been in the past. He's been
pretty good since going to Toronto three point five seven
era a whip of just over one. I mean, this
guy will carve you up. I mean he's not the
most I mean, he's not gonna throw one hundred miles
per hour. But even though he's coming off an injury
(28:14):
and he's not cy young Shane Bieber, this guy still
has the potential. He's really smart. He knows you know
where to throw the ball. He knows how to keep
you off balance. This guy can carve you up if
you let him.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
He's a pitcher. I mean, nowadays we will see a
lot of throwers out there. He's not one of those,
and it's not like his stuff. You can sit back
there and yawn while he's throwing it at you. You
still got to be ready. But he can throw multiple
pitches for strikes at any point in time. He's thinking
more about location than just raring back and blowing it
by in and that is effective. It just is less
(28:47):
effective if he makes mistakes. Those are easier to catch
up to and do damage with. And that's what we're
gonna need to do.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
See is for Calloween, Ashley has made a second pumpkin
for I didn't even realize this till I saw your
photo of your dumpkin that you carved for Calloween, and
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Literally, I liked it.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
I liked it all social media, but I didn't realize
the method behind your madness.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yes, so there is a Calloween or a pump a
dumpkin for every level of the playoffs. So Dumpkin number
one took us through the Alds.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Nice job, Dumpkin.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Oh boy, Dumpkin number one had its work cutout for him,
because after the end of that fifteen inning game he
was moldy falling in on himself. She managed to just
hold himself up just long enough to be thrown out
on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You know, fifteen innings can wear out a dump It
really can.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
And I mean that thing was perfect in the morning
on Friday, by no, not really, that had been really funny.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
We come home, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Like I couldn't take it anymore. So now Dumpkin number two.
That's our ALCS dumpkin and it does look better better. Yeah,
so I've got to step up my game if we win.
We I'm not gonna say anyth again.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But Dumpkin number on three, should he come to fruition, Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Huh, will be majestic.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Oh, I don't have any less of an expectation than majestic.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Okay, I mean.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
You took it to a new level with Dumpkin number
two for the Alcs, and now if there is another level. Yeah, man,
I'm expecting the greatest Dumpkin that I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I know, I'm trying not to like with Dumpkin number two.
Didn't plan anything out.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Until it's great sexy, until we won.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
The ALDS, and then I saw the logo on the
shirts and I was like, that's it. There's Dumpkin number
two right there. So Dumpkin number three will be inspired
in the moment, by the moment when the moment arises.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
You know, I've always loved Halloween, always been.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I just love it.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I think it's a magical month, magical time of the year.
Calloeen's even better, it really is.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yeah, In fact, you know what Calloween is so much better.
I haven't even put up any actual Halloween decorations. I
just have a Mariner's signs all over my house, towels
and dumpkins.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
That's all I've got. That's Calloween for you.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Well, the first year doing it. We'll figure out the
marketing plan next year. Who knows where it goes from here?
All right, Greg Bell's going to join us at seven
oh five. We'll talk some Seahawks, and even though we're
gonna talk mostly baseball here today doesn't mean we aren't
going to recognize what the Huskies have in front of
them on Saturday. This is a real opportunity for them
(31:24):
to prove their worth. We'll talk about it next. Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
You.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Greg Bell's going to join us at seven oh five.
We also have headlines at seven o'clock and a lot
more on tonight's Game three of the American League Championship
Series coming your way, including an up close and personal
breakdown at George Kirby his chances tonight as starter for
the Mariners.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Will do that at seven thirty.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
But there is there are some other things going on,
you know, Yeah, there are there are, including a huge
game for the Huskies huge on a lot of levels.
I mean, you're just simply facing Michigan and you're facing
them one of the most famous stadiums in college football,
one of the great home field advantages in college football.
So that alone is a big storyline. But in considering
(32:11):
what Washington needs in the Jedfish era, they sort of
need that victory that propels them forward. And look, I'm
gonna say something, and I know that Husky fans, I
know Seattle sports fans are sensitive about this. I don't
know why Husky fans get so upset about rankings, but
they do. And right now the team is not currently ranked,
(32:32):
and so we are the flagship, and so this is
really dangerous kind of this is like saying something. This
is like telling family members you need to act better.
You shouldn't be ranked right now. The Washington Husky should
not be ranked right now. They are twenty eight. That's
about where they should be. And they're in both polls,
both the coaches poll and the Writer's poll. They are
twenty eighth. They need a signature win. They don't have one.
(32:54):
Beating Maryland and beating Rutgers. I mean, they are a
combined one in five in the Big Ten Conference. Your
non conference opponents were terrible, and you got drubbed by
Ohio State at home, which everybody is gonna get drubbed
by Ohio State. I think they're better than they were
a year ago. They are so good on defense. My goodness,
(33:17):
are they good on defense. So you don't have that
signature win that jumps you in to the top twenty five.
You beat Michigan, who currently right now is ranked right
ahead of you twenty seventh. You beat them this week,
you're in guarantee you you are in on the next
poll if you win on the road against Michigan, and
if you lose, you got more work to get back
(33:38):
into just being number twenty eight. So I don't think
the Husky should be ranked right now. But with a
win against Michigan on Saturday, hell yeah, they will jump
into the top twenty five, no doubt about it.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Yeah, I'm with you on that. I mean, it seems
like the way in which you just painted the picture.
I mean, there hasn't been a game that I've been like, Wow,
what a dub. I mean, you ended up winning a
couple against some teams that you should that you should beat,
you know, I think that if you hadn't beaten Rutgers,
or if you hadn't been able to travel to Maryland
(34:11):
and beat them, then I would have been like, this
team's not really not even really should be in the
conversation of being getting ready to crack the top top
twenty five. The fact that they pulled those games out,
the fact that they have now won a couple of
games on the road, Okay, they're definitely.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
As an achievement, better than you were a year ago.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
And this is where you get to kind of put
your stamp on it. If you want to be considered
a team that really right now you're looking okay, five
and one the only loss in Big Ten, you won two.
You lost the one to the number one team in
the country. If you want to be considered a team
that should be talked about as a possible playoff team,
then you win this ball game. When you win the
(34:49):
ball game, you're going to jump up the rakings quite
a bit.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I think they have a great chance of winning, yeah, exactly,
And I do too, And I do think, Yeah, don't
worry about where you're ranked, or if you're ranked, or
any of it.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Just get the job done.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I mean, I don't think the teams up there saying,
oh gosh, guys, we really aren't in the top twenty five, how.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Is that possible? They're probably using it as fuel.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
These guys don't think we can do any These guys
are underestimating this. Like play with a chip on your shoulder.
We know, this day and age, everybody needs to manufacture something.
There they're giving you one.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's how I would use I
would use it if I was Jedfish.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
They disrespect you, Yeah, but that's fine.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
That's fine.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
The only poll that matters is the last one anyway,
exactly sure, Yeah, so you know, just don't. I don't
know why Husky fans get so bothered by not being
ranked or where they ranked.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
But I don't look at it as a slight.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
I think you're exactly where you should be, right on
the outside looking in until you get a big win
this year against the quality opponent, be it home or road.
And that opportunity comes this weekend against Michigan, and you
get it, and I can promise you you'll be in
the top twenty five right now.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
In both poles.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
You've got four big ten teams clustered from twenty five
to twenty eight. They're in different order, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan,
and you dub those four in a row at twenty
five to twenty eight, and the coaches it's Illinois, probably
because of Illinois history and tradition, then Michigan, then Nebraska,
and then you dubbed so you know, BOT twenty eight
(36:18):
in both. I mean, I don't think they're wrong about this,
So let's just go ahead.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Go in there.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Demond Williams, play like Demond Williams, like you did on Friday.
You'll beat Michigan and we'll be talking about a ranked
team on Monday morning. All right, Coming up next headlines
in Greg Bell Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
Every one morning. It's some time.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Good morning class ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Behold introducing six one guard from Brighton, Illinois and former
high school basketball stand.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
What the hell does that meet? Jumped?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Any conclusions?
Speaker 5 (00:18):
No, not a god, You've got to lower lower your expectations.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hard to believe he could once send a fastball to
Pluto in getting Bucky Jacobs and vibes and former.
Speaker 6 (00:29):
I'll just openly admit I'm a fat, out of shaped

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Now there's been a noticeable spike in your blood pressure.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
A five seven guard and a former college water polo
national champions.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
A lot of useless crap up here.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Wow, this is Chuck and Buck in the Morning with
Ashley Ryan.

What do you buy to lay?

Look casino resort and quilsee the Creek Draft King Sports
Book where the action never stopped you.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Good morning and welcome in.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
It's Chuck It back in the Morning Sports Radio ninety
three point three k j R FM. My name is
Chuck Fowel. Former Mariner Bucket Jacobson is here, so is
Ashley Ryan. As we get this home day edition of
the radio program started, but not just any old run
of the mill hump Day Today, Mark's Game three of
the American League Championship Series. The Mariners back home to
(01:36):
take on the Toronto Blue Jays. They happen to carry
a two to o lead going into tonight's festivities and
a chance to really grab a stranglehold on this ALCS.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And really get the juices going.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I think that Softy made it very obvious to me,
like the moment that it.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Happened, that's as our close US signs on.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
You get a win today and you're even closer to
the World Series than that. This would be that marked
the closest that the organization's ever gotten to the World Series,
being just one win away and so certain.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
But I like that. I kind of like that.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I like having the two oh lead kind of taken
care of business, but still carrying the weight of that
history with you. If there's a team that's not going
to take for granted that they've got a two to
oh lead in the American League Championship Series, it's going
to be our Seattle Mariners. Those players feel it, they
know it, they understand it. I think they've cracked a
(02:35):
little bit under the pressure of it in the past.
But to have the advantage to be have the momentum
to be coming home knowing what kind of home crowd
awaits you. I think it's good to carry that around
a little bit because I don't think you're getting anything
less than one hundred percent tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah they're well, they're not. They're definitely not like in a.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Position of like, well, we're used to this, of course,
and yeah, to we know what it feels like to
close this situation out. I just think about the difference
between the Mariners and Dodgers. Both did the same thing,
go win two games on the road, and yet you
hear the Dodgers people coming out you're two wins away
from the World Series again, like it just seems like.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It'll be posted that yesterday on x Yeah. Yeah, Dodgers
are two wins away from the World Series.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Yeah, and yet it just doesn't even feel like you
can go there yet as a Mariner fan, like, I
mean you are, and it is, well, the first pitch tonight,
you're as close.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
As you've ever been.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
And yet I think there is a part of it
off if you just take like the difference between the
two teams that are sitting in the same place. One
is like, boy, the job being finished because of the history,
because of the fact they've never achieved the goal of
winning a third game in this situation, and then when
in obviously the necessary fourth game.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
I think that there is, without a doubt a team
of there's still work to be done. And the mission
wasn't to get to the playoffs. It wasn't to just
get through one round of the playoffs. It was to
get to the World Series and then once you're there,
you might as well win the whole LEFN thing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It was interesting though, because with that MLB tweet where
they said, Dodgers are you know, two wins away from
the World Series. Again, when the Mariners went up to
oh in Toronto, I went back to see what they
had said about like what they tweeted when we won,
and it was the Mariners are take a two zero
lead against Toronto and just the wording was different. But
I understand that because the expectations are different, right like
(04:27):
for our series, I think nobody thinks that our series
is even close to over, whereas you can tell they
think that Dodgers Brewers series is basically over because now
they're heading to LA for three games.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I think people think our series is over.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I'm just glad that our guys don't right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I would agree.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I haven't gotten that impression.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Yeah yeah, So I mean I don't I don't get
I don't see a lot of don't worry about Toronto
comments out there. I think that what we showed in
Toronto had everybody going, oh gosh, wow, look at this
Mariners team. Not only are we've been saying for years
if they got in the playoffs, they would be dangerous.
(05:14):
And now all of a sudden, they got over that
first hump where the real pressure existed, and now, man,
they're just playing free and easy out there right now.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Don't listen to the guys in New York.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
New York media have their heads so far up New
York's but that they don't pay attention to anybody.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
That's not called the Yankees, the Mets. But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I mean, we just had Harold on yesterday and asked
him where's the path that the Blue Jays get back
in this thing? And he says, I really don't see one.
I mean, granted, he's a Mariner guy, but he's also
a national guy. He's the face of the damn network,
for goodness sake. So I think people believe both series
are over. I'm just glad that our players don't feel
(05:58):
that way. Won't approach it that way. Damn, We'll make
sure they don't approach it that way. I want them
to carry the weight of the entire city on their
shoulders into tonight and acting like they don't.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
We can't slip up once. We don't want them back
into this series.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I think George goes in there with the furious intent
and there is absolutely a plan to start it off
three to oher and not in any way or form
let Toronto think that they're back in this series.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, I mean I don't remember.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
I saw somewhere what the percentages are of once you
get up to zero, and it's minimal. I mean, it's
not a big percentage of teams that do come back
in a seven game series after going down to zip.
And yet the fact that it's not zero is enough
that you better not. Yeah, overlook it. It has happened
before it can happen. I mean it was four I
(06:52):
think was that first that when the Red Sox came
back from down three zip right and came back, and
so that was seen insurmountable at that point in time.
They were still carrying the burden of the curse, and
yet they ended up rallying and finding a way. So
I mean, it's just you can just think. I mean,
I think as a baseball player, you find yourself in
(07:13):
the you got to stay where you are present, right
and whatever happened before doesn't matter now, and we don't
know what the future holds, so just treat the present
like a gift. I think that that comes true in
a situation like this, because the field could be completely
different if tonight goes really south and all of a sudden,
you're like, oh man, because I mean just two to
(07:33):
zero feels like basically undefeat in this whole thing.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I mean, kind of killing.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Them right now, whereas two to one you're like, oh
my goodness, you could scuffle one time here you know
tomorrow and next thing you know, you find yourself feeling
like they have seized all the momentum and you're in
some must win situation in Game five before you got
to go back to Toronto. So I think that the
team gets it, and I think that there's times when
(07:58):
the media just kind of just say, well, they look
so good or they the other team, they've stifled them.
I mean, coming into this series, the way in which
Toronto hit against the Yankees, and now they haven't hit
for two games. It doesn't mean they can't hit, you
know what I mean. I heard MJ on my way
home yesterday talking about Vlad Guerrero, what a disappointment. Gave
(08:19):
him half a billion dollars. He hasn't got one hit
in this whole series. It's like, Okay, dude's still pretty good.
I wouldn't just think that he's pretty much.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Won series by himself against the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Yeah, he's still having a pretty decent postseason. He just
has not gotten off the schneid when it comes to
hitting against us in two games. And yet there's not
a pitcher in the Mariners organization. I mean, you can
talk about an a ball kid that's sitting at home
watching the playoffs that isn't a little fearful of Vlad
Guerrero walking up to the dish, including all the guys
are going to be thrown to him.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
And look, DODG just did deserve the benefit of the
doll They are world champions, they do they have gotten here.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Many of times before. We never have.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
So if there is a little bit of you still
got to prove it, they still got to prove it.
So I mean, the Dodgers have been here, they know
they've written this story before, and yeah, they look like
a damn mismatch for the Milwaukee Bers. I think they
are a mismatch for the Milwaukee Bears as not a
great matchup. Milwaukee is a feisty ass team. It's hard
to just put together singles. They're not really trying to
(09:19):
steal bases because they've been thrown out a couple of times.
They can't get on base because the Dodgers pitching has
been just so dominant here throughout the entire postseason.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So I don't watching that series.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I don't blame people for thinking that the Dodgers ticket
is already punched. I kind of feel like we have
a little bit of a mismatch with the Toronto Blue Jays.
I talked about it yesterday with Ryan Healy. I think
we have better starting pitching. I think we have better bullpen,
and I think we have a better lineup. I mean,
what more do you need on paper to convince yourself
you've got the better team. We've just got a better
(09:52):
match up with them. But we don't have the history
of proving that we know how to handle this situation,
that we know how to handle prosperity, that we know
how to finish an American League championship series, because it's
never been done here before. So if there's a little
bit of doubt that's been raised by national pundits, local
(10:14):
pundits in the clubhouse, then that's been earned over fifty
years of the Mariners having never gotten there before. But
in terms of like who looks like the better teams,
it's not just the results. The Brewers are a terrible
matchup for the Dodgers, and I don't and I'd be
saying something different if the Yankees would have beaten the
Blue Jays. We didn't match up nearly as well with
(10:35):
the Yankees as we do the Blue Jays. But I
feel we match up very well against Toronto and should win,
should win in five games.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's my expectation for him.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
But you still, when you've got that entire history being
carried carried on your shoulders, you can't let up for
one second. Keep the foot on the frickin gas pedal.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, and I think too, Yeah, you look at that
Blue Jays Yankees series and how potent the Blue Jays
offense was. I think everybody just thinks, well, just give
them time and they'll find their bats again. Whereas I
mean in the Detroit series, after we played Errek Scuble
in Game two and one, Derek Jeter went on MLB
or Fox whatever it is and said, you know, we
(11:17):
kind of forgot about the Mariner's pitching. Everybody kept talking
about Trek Scooble, Trek scoobl Trek Scuble.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
We forgot about the Mariner's pitching. And I think that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
That's kind of been because it's a more of everybody's
just as good on our team. We don't have mediocre
pitching in that one ace, so people don't tend to
look at us as a collective of dominant pitching.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
I think the idea, yeah, I mean, you need to
have a well rounded team. You'd look at the four
teams that are left in this thing, and they're all
dangerous in their own right.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
They all deserve to be where they are.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
They all have some danger in their lineup, and they
all have some good pitching. I think that yesterday you
saw and you heard it on the broadcast when talking
about the length of the Dodgers' lineup.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
And they had a dude out there that decides to
just go complete game on you too, CG.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
How's that taste.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Yeah, maybe a bullpen is suspect, Well, get it pretty
good if they all just stay in the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
It's a really good bullpen.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Matter of fact, you can't score a run on them
if they never come in the game, and that's not
going to continue to happen. But I think that it's
something we've talked about because we follow this team. And
yet even if you do pay attention to it, to
your point, actually, even if you do recognize how good
the Mariner's pitching staff is, it's not something that is typical.
This is not something you typically watch where you get
(12:35):
to see It's like you talk about, you can never
take a deep breath. You can never take a deep
breath when you have a deep lineup. Think about you
get down into the six spot and it's Tasker Hernandez
or yesterday or whatever.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Think about it.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
On the other hand, when you're a hitter and you
never get to take a breath based on who's going
to be starting against you the next day, Whereas there
is times I can tell you from experience, you all
of a sudden are facing some dude, it's not their best,
it's the third or fourth best pitcher, and you're like, today,
I'm having a day today, you know, I mean, I'm
feeling good about the way that things are going to
(13:09):
go today. You can't have that feeling. I don't care
who it is that the Mariners are running out there
against you, And so it's just kind of one of
those constantly walking up hill when it comes to trying
to generate offense against the squad.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Well, it's the best starting rotation in baseball. And maybe
Philadelphia could have had that argument before Zach Wheeler went down,
but nobody else can make that argument. The Dodgers went healthy.
They have the ability to make that argument, and we're
seeing it. They're finally all healthy. They got healthy at
the right time this year as opposed to a year ago.
(13:41):
They can make that argument potentially, and they're playing like
it right now.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And they're going to be a really.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Difficult matchup if in fact we do meet the Dodgers
in the in the World Series. But yeah, I believe me.
You know, maybe Derek Jeter was sleeping on it. No
national people were sleeping on the Marion. And they've been
talking about for five years how great this team's pitch,
and know how relentless that they can be, night after
night after night coming at you. And we'll see it
(14:07):
hopefully tonight with George Kirby. Also something that people are
a little worried about showing up tonight is how much
Royal Blue is going to be in the stadium. We
know during the regular season that Toronto fans, Canadian baseball
fans who have adopted the Blue Jays as their team
(14:28):
from coast to coast make their way down and kind
of take over the stadium during the regular season, so
there's a little bit of concern about whether or not
that's going to happen tonight. I really can't answer that.
I don't know of any well, maybe some ticket people can.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I don't know what to expect on that front. I'm
assuming the.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Way that they sell tickets for the postseason and the
fact that Mariner fans who might have tickets have probably
held onto them much more tightly than they would have
a regular season ticket to make sure that that doesn't happen.
But certainly there's going to be a few people that
bought tickets initially with the plan of selling tickets at
(15:11):
some point, Donald, I want to go to one or
two games, and then I want to sell a ticket
to some Canadian uh, and then I get to go.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Then that means I could have gone for free, or
w I did go for free. I can't.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I don't think anybody can handicap this. I have no
idea what to expect. I certainly predict that it won't
be like it looks like in the regular season. But
I'm also just as sure that it's going to be
a lot more Toronto weed than it was Detroit Y
last week.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
I mean, they're still going to have some folks that
are coming down, and yeah, some people are selling tickets
for the reasons you explained. It's like, oh again, buy
a little strip here for you know, whether it's through
all of the playoffs and I can give up a
couple and get some of my money back. I don't
even have a problem with that. I actually don't even
mind it. It's definitely not going to be like it
is in the regular season. When you can plan ahead
(16:04):
for months to make a trip down here to watch
your Blue Jays play, and it's you know, beautiful weather,
and it's not going to be near the takeover that
we see during the regular season. And to some degree,
I kind of think, because you are going to get
a full house of mostly Mariner fans, that if they
try there, let's go Blue Jay.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
If they try that, it's going to get drowned out quickly.
You know.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
It's actually going to give the Mariner fans an opportunity
to be like, no, no, And so I'm expecting it
to be hyped. I mean, even though there's definitely gonna
be more Blue Jay fans here than we saw Tiger fans,
not enough that.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
It's going to matter.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, that's one thing that I was I was, I
guess maybe surprised by is that I didn't see a
lot of Tigers fans. I think I would have expected
to see more given that it was Game five, but
at the same time, knowing that they hadn't even really
shown up in their own stadium, I suppose.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I was a fan base with respecting the Mariners. I
don't think they ever expected to beat us.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
No, I.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Mean, we've seeing Game four in that stadium. It didn't
seem like it, And so I do think there are
going to be a good number, and that is annoying.
But I mean, kudos to them, Good on them for
supporting their team. But yeah, we've got to We've got
a job to do. Mariunderstands it's not just the team
that has a job to do. Mariners fans have a
job to do and a responsibility to not let those
fans take over the stadium.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
A responsibility that's right to walk that dog. Well, I again,
I don't know. I mean, I've had a lot of
people ask is they're.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Gonna be I don't know. Yeah, no, one doesn't. I
mean maybe, I hope not. I'm certainly it's not going
to be as bad. I don't know how to control that.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I don't know if the Mariners know how to control that.
So on an individual basis, if any everybody that's a
Mariner fan decides to sell their tickets to make up
for it, and they think to themselves, well it's just
one ticket, it's just two tickets. Well, if you know
a thousand people do that, well they're going to get infiltrated.
I have no idea what to expect with this, but
(17:58):
I'm certainly trust that it's not going to be as
bad as it was during the regular season. And I'm
also trusting that we're going to have kind of a
maniacal crowd like we did on Friday, because that was
some impressive stuff to see to close out the Tigers.
All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's
radio program.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
What's on TEP, what's on TEP?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
All right, five pm start tonight. It will be Shane
Bieber going against George Kirby. Angie Mentink will join us
today as she has all season long, and of course
you don't get as much Angie in your life these
days now that the national networks have taken over coverage
from the local people. So I'm sure you're very curious
to hear what Angie has to say about the way
the series is going. So we'll talk to her at
(18:46):
eight thirty. Also, comedian Dustin Nickerson, who is become one
of our favorite Mariner fans out there. He's going to
be joining us today at nine thirty. If you're not
following along with him, living and dying with every pitch
on Twitter, you need to do it. It's actually very
(19:06):
comical as it turns out.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
He's a comedian.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
He is one of us, so he'll join us today
at nine thirty.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Brian Woo says he's ready.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
The only thing that he has left to cross off
the list in terms of getting to pitch in a
playoff game is being told it's time to pitch in
a playoff game. So he believes physically he's one hundred
percent and he is ready to go and ready to
potentially dominate. We'll see how the Mariners intend to use
him as this series unfolds. As we mentioned, the Dodgers
(19:36):
are up two to zero in the National League Championship Series.
They defeated Milwaukee last night by a final score of
five to one.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's hump Day and.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Usually this is when we really dive into the seahawks
next opponent that will be the Houston Texans. But we
do have an extra day because this is Monday Night
football week for the Seahawks, and so hump Day gets
a little clouded when it comes to the Hawks on
a Monday night football week. Greg Bell will join us
today at seven five though, to give us the latest information,
(20:08):
it's Thursday night football even the National Football League Tomorrow
the Steelers will be at Cincinnati. That's pretty much the
Bengals last gasp effort to try to get back into
this playoff race, as they'll take on the Steelers at home.
Joe Flacco against Aaron Rodgers, two forty plus year old
quarterbacks going head to head on Thursday night. Football College
(20:29):
football Huskies have a huge game against the Michigan Wolverines
at the Big House this Saturday. Cam Cleveland will join
us today at eight o'clock to discuss it. And the
Montreal Canadians did defeat the Kraken last night by a
final score of five to four, but it did go
into overtime, so we got a point. Allison and Ian
(20:49):
both seem to be really happy with that point. When
you think about it. Yeah, you go on the road
for the very first time, it's their home opener. You
put four goals on the board, and you lose because
a guy skates right and has about three inches to
get the ball the puck into the net. It hits
off Joey to Cord's shoulder and it was the only
(21:10):
three inches of the net that he wasn't protecting and
it went into the goal.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And that's how you lose the game.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Yeah, so you get a point out of it. You've
got to point out of all three games thus far.
And so they'll continue the road trip later on this week.
But they did lose an overtime last night, five to four.
All right, we are underway here on this Wednesday. The
ABC's of the m's coming your way early this morning,
as a matter of fact, next on Sports Radio ninety
(21:36):
three point three KHARFM. There are other things during our
four hours together, but the ab seeds of the MS
coming your way early here this morning. We use the
alphabet as a guide. They're a daily Mariner segment, and
we are right at the beginning of the alphabet starting today.
It rolled over on us yesterday. And so a is
(21:57):
four attrition, which is usually what is described when you
talk about a Major League Baseball season and getting into
the Major League Baseball playoffs. You think about what you
have to go through, the players that you lose because
of injuries, and a lot of teams. By the end
of the year, you know, you typically don't have your
(22:18):
healthiest group, you don't have your ideal starting lineup, you
don't have your ideal starting rotation. And it's another one
of the things to be excited about if you're a
Mariner fan. And I think it's a credit to the organization,
especially their pitchers, and the way that they tend to
keep them healthy. I think Brian Wu probably would have
pitched through that injury on another organization, but because of
(22:41):
our starting pitching depth, you didn't have to risk that
until you were sure he was one hundred percent before
you put him back into a lineup. We haven't really
suffered from that. I think about when we faced the
Toronto Blue Jays. We got swept by them at home
a little bit earlier this year, and I went back
to look at those lineups, Bucky. Last we played the
Blue Jays, they finished off a sweep against us. Here's
(23:03):
our We had Rowdy Tellez hitting sixth, Leodi tavera Is
hitting seventh, Dylan Moore hitting eighth, and Ben.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Williamson hitting ninth. I think maybe we've improved the lineup
since that time.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Yeah, and we had coming out of the bullpen that
day Legumina, Snyder and Taylor Wow, three guys that didn't
even make our postseason roster. Yeah. So that was forty
games into the season. Logan Evans pitched game number two
of that series, they injured Bryce Miller pitched game number
(23:37):
three and gave up seven runs and two innings that day,
which forced you to pitch at one point in that game.
Leo Revas actually pitched in that game. And so, I mean,
it's a complete We have a completely different team. We
have a better team than we had when we faced
the Blue Jays earlier this year. And that's the beautiful
thing about the postseason. The hard part about it is
(23:59):
some people, we'll get through one hundred and sixty two
games and then a round of the playoffs or two
rounds of the playoffs, and they're just beaten down. Toronto
doesn't have Bob Baschett right now. For example, the Dodgers
a year ago had one healthy starting pitcher at the
better this year one healthy starting pitcher at the end
of last season. The Mariners have a almost their ideal
(24:20):
lineup available to them, plus the two guys that they
added at the trading deadline, and all five of our
starting pitchers in our rotation, our ideal starting rotation, are
healthy and ready to go again. I mean, at the
ten game mark, Luke Rayley was hitting fifth for US,
didn't even make the roster this round. We had Miles
(24:41):
master Bony in game number two of that first series
with the Blue Jays, which we won by the way,
two out of three games, leading off in game number one.
So yeah, he was our leadoff hitter in that game.
So it's just, you know, there's facing Toronto at the
ten game mark, and then there's face them at the
forty game mark, and then there's facing them in the
(25:03):
American League Championship Series when you are clearly throwing your
best that you have available to you, and we just
have more available to us than they do.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
M M yeah, I mean the the the lineup part
of it, I did not realize. I mean, I obviously
remember when we had Rowdy and and and company, But
I didn't remember ever having Miles leading off. And yet
there was before the trade deadline, there was holes, if
you will, or things I would just say, soft spots
(25:31):
in the lineup. You didn't you most certainly didn't have
the thought of once we get either yeah, once you
get past yeah, once you get past five or six,
you know, there most certainly was a okay, you could
take a deep a little bit of a deep breath,
and I like how some of those guys battled a
little bit, Williamson in particular, uh for getting his first taste.
But yeah, there's no doubt about it. That lineup is better.
(25:54):
There's one I mean, people can criticize Jerry and Justin
and sure there's things to criticize, but one thing you
can't criticize is their eye for talent one their ability
to develop it on the pitching side of things. And
they have some hitters too. For those that can't wait
to text in the will, they don't have never delivered
a or developed a hitter. It's like, I guess Kle
just hit He's got sixty two homers. He kind of
(26:15):
came up to the organization Julio's I mean, if he
just keeps up this Trendy's under the way to the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
But yeah, you're right, they can't do that.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Pitching wise, though, they have without a doubt, figured out
a way that they have some sort of formula. This
is what we like, and then this is how we're
going to bring him up. And then when we get
him here. As much as it is difficult, I'm sure
for a manager and a front office and and the
player to to not go out there and play full
blast when you're just kind of dinged up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
This team fe has figured out how.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
To do that too, because they know right now is
the most important part time to be healthy, and so
they did. They put Brian Wuo on the shelf for
a little bit and hopefully he's going to be ready
to rock and roller soon.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, Naylor over tell As, Uh, you know, can zone
over Rayley, roblaze over Tavares.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
And you're playing your best nine night and day.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Yeah, you're playing your best nine, so you're not worried
about giving guys days off all of that stuff. So yeah,
it's just a it's a it's just a different different rosters.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
It's a different time of the year.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
And uh, and I think that anybody that's surprised that
our two and zero start isn't really looking at the
talent because I think we have it in spades over
the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
All right.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Be as for Bieber, now, this has been a change.
This has been additioned to the Toronto organization. Cleveland made
a strange trade at the deadline, moving on from one
of the best pitchers in franchise history, uh and sending
him to Toronto, even though Cleveland ended up getting back
into the race and eventually won the division. For goodness sake,
(27:54):
probably would have liked to add Shane Bieber against the
Tigers in the playoffs for all the well, he's not
the Bieber that he's been in the past. He's been
pretty good since going to Toronto three point five seven
era a whip of just over one. I mean, this
guy will carve you up. I mean he's not the
most I mean, he's not gonna throw one hundred miles
per hour. But even though he's coming off an injury
(28:14):
and he's not cy young Shane Bieber, this guy still
has the potential. He's really smart. He knows you know
where to throw the ball. He knows how to keep
you off balance. This guy can carve you up if
you let him.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
He's a pitcher. I mean, nowadays we will see a
lot of throwers out there. He's not one of those,
and it's not like his stuff. You can sit back
there and yawn while he's throwing it at you. You
still got to be ready. But he can throw multiple
pitches for strikes at any point in time. He's thinking
more about location than just raring back and blowing it
by in and that is effective. It just is less
(28:47):
effective if he makes mistakes. Those are easier to catch
up to and do damage with. And that's what we're
gonna need to do.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
See is for Calloween, Ashley has made a second pumpkin
for I didn't even realize this till I saw your
photo of your dumpkin that you carved for Calloween, and
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Literally, I liked it.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
I liked it all social media, but I didn't realize
the method behind your madness.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yes, so there is a Calloween or a pump a
dumpkin for every level of the playoffs. So Dumpkin number
one took us through the Alds.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Nice job, Dumpkin.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Oh boy, Dumpkin number one had its work cutout for him,
because after the end of that fifteen inning game he
was moldy falling in on himself. She managed to just
hold himself up just long enough to be thrown out
on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You know, fifteen innings can wear out a dump It
really can.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
And I mean that thing was perfect in the morning
on Friday, by no, not really, that had been really funny.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
We come home, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Like I couldn't take it anymore. So now Dumpkin number two.
That's our ALCS dumpkin and it does look better better. Yeah,
so I've got to step up my game if we win.
We I'm not gonna say anyth again.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But Dumpkin number on three, should he come to fruition, Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Huh, will be majestic.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Oh, I don't have any less of an expectation than majestic.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Okay, I mean.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
You took it to a new level with Dumpkin number
two for the Alcs, and now if there is another level. Yeah, man,
I'm expecting the greatest Dumpkin that I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I know, I'm trying not to like with Dumpkin number two.
Didn't plan anything out.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Until it's great sexy, until we won.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
The ALDS, and then I saw the logo on the
shirts and I was like, that's it. There's Dumpkin number
two right there. So Dumpkin number three will be inspired
in the moment, by the moment when the moment arises.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
You know, I've always loved Halloween, always been.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I just love it.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I think it's a magical month, magical time of the year.
Calloeen's even better, it really is.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yeah, In fact, you know what Calloween is so much better.
I haven't even put up any actual Halloween decorations. I
just have a Mariner's signs all over my house, towels
and dumpkins.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
That's all I've got. That's Calloween for you.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Well, the first year doing it. We'll figure out the
marketing plan next year. Who knows where it goes from here?
All right, Greg Bell's going to join us at seven
oh five. We'll talk some Seahawks, and even though we're
gonna talk mostly baseball here today doesn't mean we aren't
going to recognize what the Huskies have in front of
them on Saturday. This is a real opportunity for them
(31:24):
to prove their worth. We'll talk about it next. Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
You.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Greg Bell's going to join us at seven oh five.
We also have headlines at seven o'clock and a lot
more on tonight's Game three of the American League Championship
Series coming your way, including an up close and personal
breakdown at George Kirby his chances tonight as starter for
the Mariners.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Will do that at seven thirty.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
But there is there are some other things going on,
you know, Yeah, there are there are, including a huge
game for the Huskies huge on a lot of levels.
I mean, you're just simply facing Michigan and you're facing
them one of the most famous stadiums in college football,
one of the great home field advantages in college football.
So that alone is a big storyline. But in considering
(32:11):
what Washington needs in the Jedfish era, they sort of
need that victory that propels them forward. And look, I'm
gonna say something, and I know that Husky fans, I
know Seattle sports fans are sensitive about this. I don't
know why Husky fans get so upset about rankings, but
they do. And right now the team is not currently ranked,
(32:32):
and so we are the flagship, and so this is
really dangerous kind of this is like saying something. This
is like telling family members you need to act better.
You shouldn't be ranked right now. The Washington Husky should
not be ranked right now. They are twenty eight. That's
about where they should be. And they're in both polls,
both the coaches poll and the Writer's poll. They are
twenty eighth. They need a signature win. They don't have one.
(32:54):
Beating Maryland and beating Rutgers. I mean, they are a
combined one in five in the Big Ten Conference. Your
non conference opponents were terrible, and you got drubbed by
Ohio State at home, which everybody is gonna get drubbed
by Ohio State. I think they're better than they were
a year ago. They are so good on defense. My goodness,
(33:17):
are they good on defense. So you don't have that
signature win that jumps you in to the top twenty five.
You beat Michigan, who currently right now is ranked right
ahead of you twenty seventh. You beat them this week,
you're in guarantee you you are in on the next
poll if you win on the road against Michigan, and
if you lose, you got more work to get back
(33:38):
into just being number twenty eight. So I don't think
the Husky should be ranked right now. But with a
win against Michigan on Saturday, hell yeah, they will jump
into the top twenty five, no doubt about it.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Yeah, I'm with you on that. I mean, it seems
like the way in which you just painted the picture.
I mean, there hasn't been a game that I've been like, Wow,
what a dub. I mean, you ended up winning a
couple against some teams that you should that you should beat,
you know, I think that if you hadn't beaten Rutgers,
or if you hadn't been able to travel to Maryland
(34:11):
and beat them, then I would have been like, this
team's not really not even really should be in the
conversation of being getting ready to crack the top top
twenty five. The fact that they pulled those games out,
the fact that they have now won a couple of
games on the road, Okay, they're definitely.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
As an achievement, better than you were a year ago.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
And this is where you get to kind of put
your stamp on it. If you want to be considered
a team that really right now you're looking okay, five
and one the only loss in Big Ten, you won two.
You lost the one to the number one team in
the country. If you want to be considered a team
that should be talked about as a possible playoff team,
then you win this ball game. When you win the
(34:49):
ball game, you're going to jump up the rakings quite
a bit.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I think they have a great chance of winning, yeah, exactly,
And I do too, And I do think, Yeah, don't
worry about where you're ranked, or if you're ranked, or
any of it.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Just get the job done.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I mean, I don't think the teams up there saying,
oh gosh, guys, we really aren't in the top twenty five, how.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Is that possible? They're probably using it as fuel.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
These guys don't think we can do any These guys
are underestimating this. Like play with a chip on your shoulder.
We know, this day and age, everybody needs to manufacture something.
There they're giving you one.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's how I would use I
would use it if I was Jedfish.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
They disrespect you, Yeah, but that's fine.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
That's fine.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
The only poll that matters is the last one anyway,
exactly sure, Yeah, so you know, just don't. I don't
know why Husky fans get so bothered by not being
ranked or where they ranked.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
But I don't look at it as a slight.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
I think you're exactly where you should be, right on
the outside looking in until you get a big win
this year against the quality opponent, be it home or road.
And that opportunity comes this weekend against Michigan, and you
get it, and I can promise you you'll be in
the top twenty five right now.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
In both poles.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
You've got four big ten teams clustered from twenty five
to twenty eight. They're in different order, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan,
and you dub those four in a row at twenty
five to twenty eight, and the coaches it's Illinois, probably
because of Illinois history and tradition, then Michigan, then Nebraska,
and then you dubbed so you know, BOT twenty eight
(36:18):
in both. I mean, I don't think they're wrong about this,
So let's just go ahead.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Go in there.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Demond Williams, play like Demond Williams, like you did on Friday.
You'll beat Michigan and we'll be talking about a ranked
team on Monday morning. All right, Coming up next headlines
