This is not Dave, Softie Maller, that is not Dick Fane, Jackson,
Felts anders Hurst.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Here.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
They've let the inmates run the asylum, I guess. And
there's no goofing around today. We have to actually do
some work and talk about the sports we let Softie
and Dick talk about all day every day.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, and it's weird because I'm going from the pros
pro and ian for ness in the one to three
show to now the producers are running the show from
the three to seven drive time radio. So I get
both ends of the spectrum today. But appreciate you have
me on with you, and it's gonna be fun. This
is gonna be a fun day today. Softie is still
in Greece. I think he's traveling to London tomorrow because
(00:38):
my friend Adam Nathan over in London spurs fan. I said, Oh,
I'm gonna meet up with Softy and as Oh, so
Softie's going from Greece to London, you know? Is he
just gonna traverse the entire globe before he makes his
way back to Seattle. He's gonna be out for I
mean a few more days. Dick Fane calling a Storm
game tonight. He's back tomorrow with Hugh Millen. But yeah,
Jackson Felts anders Hurst here taking you up all the
(00:59):
way to seven o'clock. You know, it was funny Andrews
kind of prepping for this shows. It's we've we've done
so much together, you know, because we do the Hollywood
Weekly podcast talking movies and TV and I don't know
how many hours we've spent talking Star Wars and other media.
And it's like, Okay, you a little bit different here, buddy.
We actually have to talk some sports day and there's
(01:20):
I mean there's quite a lot. I mean, especially seeing
as how it's a Mariner team that coming off of
that road trip and coming off of Sunday's loss, which
feels like yesterday, because today feels like a Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't know about you, man, but I'm still frustrated.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm still fuming off of Sunday because you're looking at
a situation. There's so much to talk about with Dan
Wilson and some questions to ask him. But before we
get into the Mariners, quickly outline today's show. We're gonna
talk some more MS at four o'clock with ty Dane Gonzalez.
He hosts the Mariners Locked On podcast. He'll be joining
us later on. We're also gonna have our normal Tuesday guests.
(01:55):
John Wilner from the San Jose Mercury News The Willner
Hotline at five o'clock talks some call sports.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
There is a new.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Format to the college football playoff, and thank goodness it
came now and not a year ago when it would
have benefited Oregon.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So John'd joined at five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
We're gonna hear from Dan Wilson ahead of the Mariners
opening series tonight against the Nationals. We're here at five thirty.
Brian Schmester, five forty five. You make the call six o'clock.
Textimonials four nine, four or five to one to the
unsponsored text line, send them an all day every day,
four nine, four or five to one. But Anders, yeah, man,
let's let's start with the Mariners, because overall this road
(02:31):
trip six and four, you get the sweep in San Diego,
start strong, you get the series win against Chicago and
then losing three to four to Houston. And it's how
you lost three to four of Houston, and it's how
Sunday's game went down.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It just it leaves you feeling so frustrated.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, and it's as someone who hosts a daily Mariners postcast,
like is what we call it. So it's the postgame
show right on the Lockdown Mariners YouTube channel. It's weird,
like because we react to that specific game in that
specific game only. But when you put it in the
grand scheme of things, if you were to tell me
going into the ten game road trip, three in San Diego,
(03:08):
three in Chicago, and then four in Houston, that we
would end up six and four, Yeah, I would take
that ten times out of ten. Then I would have expected, Okay,
if that's the case, and we probably take two of
three in San Diego, we probably take two of three
in Chicago, and then we split the Houston series. Great,
I would have like, imagine how much different it feels
if that's the case. But it's the same record, but
(03:28):
except and having the last series. But the Houston series
also makes a difference because that's the last thing that
you're reacting to. But you sweep in San Diego, so
that gives you like kind of that buffer room for error,
so to speak. And then but you do drop three
of four in the final series against Houston, which it
does hurt you a little bit more than the previous scenario,
because you know, we've seen so many times in the
(03:50):
past couple of years that like these one or two
games that you play against division rivals can come back
as tiebreakers. So right, I mean, we'll get into the
game in just a sec. But I just want overall,
I think six and four road trip isn't the end
of the one.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I mean, flip it the other way around. Let's say
that we get swept by San Diego and we say
three of four from Houston and we end up, you know,
getting the six wins that way, and we're saying, Okay,
we're coming off of a win on Sunday, saying we
just look at leading the AL West. It's suddenly expanded
to what it would be five and a half, maybe
six and a half games, whatever it ends up being.
So it's entirely different because it was the Astros, because
(04:24):
the race in the West has just tightened so much so,
and because of I think how Sunday's game went, and
because Sunday was one of the more frustrating games of
the year. Man, I mean, there's so many Dan Wilson
decisions to talk about. He gets ejected for the first
time ever that this is a player or coach exactly. Yeah.
I mean you think about how many years and games
(04:45):
he spent, you know, a catcher behind the plate. He's
never been ejected once, and then he chooses that time
to get ejected. One of the weirdest occasions where it's
the strikeout to Randy Rose Arena. It wasn't even I
don't think listen las Diaz had a bad game. Yeah,
it's very obvious he had a poor game, but that
strikeout that came right before the ejection, that wasn't a
(05:08):
bad strike call at the end. At the end of
the day, I think it's just the accumulation of everything
and maybe I don't know, Danny trying to spark his
team but backfired.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Well, and it's funny because this is a well known
thing with MLB managers. It's it's one of those situations
where maybe he wasn't like, oh my god, that was
a strike. That's why I'm coming out to argue. He's
trying to get his team fired up. His teammates like
know that they have hit or he has their back.
It's it would be a great time to rally and
(05:39):
kind of come back from this. That wasn't the only
weird part about his decision making.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But there's a lot.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, you're you're so right. A was not a strike.
B Randy or Rose Arena was just having a pretty
tame conversation with Las Dia was like, hey, just checking
to see if that was a strike sort of situation.
They both speak Spanish. I'm sure it was a lot
along those lines. And then you just see Dan Wilson
come out of nowhere, feel me, and it's like where
did this come from? And you could see even Randy's
(06:06):
like what's going on here? It was a weird time
to do it. I can understand if, like everyone's feeling
frustrated and like, oh my god, we just and then
your manager does that and it gets everyone fired up,
But I don't think it was the right time to
do it. I understand you to pick your moments to
get your team fired up and like maybe spark a comeback,
but like you said, it didn't end up being the case.
I just wonder, you know, some other pitching decisions were
(06:29):
going on.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, let's talk about Casey like a mean because he
goes for two innings on Saturday and then he pitches
the ninth inning on Sunday and obviously he gives up
the walk off shot to Christian Walker, and I'm kind
of just, you know, for Dan Wilson, I will listen.
Maybe he's not the one making that call in that moment.
I like to think that the decisions were already made
(06:50):
and planned out, but at the end of the day,
I mean, it's a guy pitching on Sunday. I'm not
sure how tax that bullpen was. Maybe there were guys
who just were strictly not available and you have but
if there was one guy who wasn't available, it should
be somebody who pitched two winnings the previous day out
of the pen. I don't get having Casey there in
that spot. And also, I mean Matt Brash, who had
(07:12):
faced what two batters prior. Maybe Matt Brash's pitch count
is ten that would surprise me, but still he's faced
two guys. He could come in in the ninth ready
to go and kind of start you off. And if
you have to bring in Casey after Brash has you know,
faced a number of you know, pitches, fine, but I
guess I don't understand going Casey over Brash in that moment,
(07:32):
and I'll be interested to hear why Dan or why
his staff continued with that decision.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So to me, it's an obvious case of pitching to
the back of the baseball card. I am fine with
not going Brash there. I would have started Brash in
the inning instead of Colin Snyder in the eighth inning,
but they end up doing Coln Snyder. He gets a
couple guys on base, but also gets an out. Brash
ends up having the bases loaded and he gets out
of it.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
The ninth inning, though, is the big one to me
because this has happened all year, And this is where
Dan Wilson and Scott's Service are very different managers, right.
Scott's Service would always put his best reliever in the
most high leveraged situation, no matter at what time in
the game that came. So, say you're facing the top
of the lineup in the eighth inning and you're up
(08:17):
by a run, that's where he would use Andres Munyos.
He wouldn't wait till the ninth inning for a save
quote unquote opportunity.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But that's what Dan Wilson's done all year.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Dan Wilson has waited until the Mariners have had the
lead for Andre's Munas to come in.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Changes somebody else than Dan making this call to no.
I think this is Dan.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
This is because this is what we did before with
Scott's service, and then now this is what Dan Wilson
is doing. Yeah, but this is a this situation where
you need to change your approach because like having to
wait for Andres Munos until you have a lead. Of course,
it was tied in the ninth inning at that point,
so you're waiting for the Mariners to take high leverage
situation still, and you're managing a situation where that situation
(08:58):
might not come. And it didn't come, you risk not
having the opportunity to use your best picture and waiting
for something that isn't likely to come, and that's what
ends up happening if you're saving Andres Munos for that
save situation. And it's not like he wasn't available. He
had the day before off, the Mariners had Monday off,
so he was completely able to pitch. They were just
(09:18):
waiting for the Mariners to take the lead. And I
understand a little bit. Munyos has actually talked in multiple
you know situations with the media and said he likes
knowing exactly when he's gonna come in. He knows he's
gonna be the ninth inning pitcher, and he knows he's
gonna be the closer quote unquote. But I think in
this situation, you have to use your best picture against
the middle of Houston's lineup to try and split this series.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Exactly because it's such a device. This game is the
difference between one and three and two and two, the
mentality coming home, finishing the road trip. And I agree
and that circumstance, but I mean, you know, we have
ty Dan Gonzol as a host of the Lockdown Mariner
podcast at four o'clock, and I also want to ask
him about the overall you know, thinking and philosophy of
(10:02):
how Dan Wilson uses his pitchers. It's starters, I should say,
because we've seen him kind of, for lack of a
better word, baby guys and just make sure that they can,
you know, go deep into September or maybe October by
limiting their pitch count. And you've seen that, you know,
over the end of last season and this season so far.
And then we see Luis Castill go out and throw
one hundred and fourteen pitches, second most pitches he's ever
(10:25):
thrown in a Seattle uniform on Sunday, And I love that,
don't don't, baby, I want to see this constantly. Maybe
this is the new philosophy of Wilson is just I
have horses like Luis Castillo.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I have a rock.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Literally, let's go use that. So I liked seeing Luis
Castillo go to one hundred and fourteen. I guess I
would just, you know, wonder that kind of dichotomy between
I'm gonna ask ty this lit four o'clock, the element
of using guys, so it's one hundred and fourteen pitches,
but also saying now we want it. Maybe it's the age,
I don't know, anders, Maybe it's the element of, you know,
(10:58):
younger guys. I want to watch the pitch count there
because we have to think about not only twenty twenty five,
but we have to think about twenty six, twenty seven,
and Luis Castillo may not be part of the extended place,
but yeah, either way, it just interests me how the
thought process of using starters can be so different.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, and so if you put everything in context in
that game, So if you are gonna wait for munios
until you have the lead. If you are not gonna
necessarily use Gabe Spire, a couple guys aren't available. As
we talked about earlier, that makes more sense and why
he extended Luis Castillo's to be like, hey, you gotta
get through six.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
We can't have.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Another reliever coming in, and we need to get more
outs than we have available. But I also think what
you said is very true. The age comes, it becomes
a huge factor. Injury history becomes a huge factor. Luis Castillo,
as you said, is a rock.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
He is.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Ever since he came to Seattle, he has made almost
every single start that's available to him. That's why I
think he's actually one of the more valuable starters. I
understand he's kind of on the tail end of his
career and he's not as dominant as when he first
came here, but the best of best abilities availability in fact,
especially as a starting pitcher when there's so many injuries
and knowing that you're going to get six innings out
of a guy every single time. I understand he didn't
(12:08):
have his best start, but I love that. I didn't
hate that. I should say hate the decision to stick
with Luis Custio in that game, it ends up kind
of hurting them because he gives up the double that
ties the game. At that point, you could have gone
to a reliever, maybe been a little bit more proactive.
I don't hate that one. It's the closing. It's the
closing situation that I was furious about it exactly. I mean,
at the end of the day, it was one of
(12:30):
crazy stat As I was watching the game. How at
one point the Houston just kept getting single after single
after single, and eventually.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It made him pay.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
But at one point across games, the Astros had hit
twenty four straight singles. Yep, I haven't seen that many
singles since I was using dating apps in twenty twelve,
Like twenty forms all right, straight singles for Houston. I mean,
I guess credit to the starting staff for you know,
limiting a yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I think the other big storylining outside of Dan Wilson's
decision making is the offense, because I think we've credited
it rightly, so you know, Edgar and Sitzer and that
whole crew for their hitting approach this year. But I
think specifically the stat that kind of wowed me, it
felt coming out of Sunday's game, And let me see
if you felt the same way before I give you
(13:21):
this stat. It felt that wow, runners left on base
and runners left in scoring position, that for me was
just the glaring red alarm in that game. And I
thought to myself after watching it, Yeah, it feels like
that's kind of been a little bit of a problem
this season. It kind of felt that way before I
looked into the stats. Has it felt that way for
you or maybe you have looked into the stats.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I haven't looked into exactly because a lot of the
RASP numbers can be inflated because a lot of the
teams that have the most runners left on base I think,
is that the one you're talking about, Yeah, that means
you're getting more opportunities with runners left on base. So
if they actually look at Mariners of the twenty three
and twenty four where I would say our offense was
(14:05):
worse than it is now at situational hitting, at everything
year the last two years, but it's because they weren't
even getting the opportunity.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It's the point.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
So getting runners on base in general is the bigger
issue I think, or not issue but that's the bigger
number to look for. But you're right, I don't think
their offense in situational hitting with runners on base in
less than two outs has improved as much as other
parts of it has exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I mean, I think I think that's that's pretty correct there.
And because Sunday I looked up ten men left on
base for the Mariners. On Sunday, the Astros had eleven.
I think that's the story of the game's both teams.
But this season over I mean, then this is also
a team second most home runs in the American League.
This team hits the Long Bowl, but overall with runners
left on base, we're at seven point three eight a game.
(14:54):
That's second from the bottom in the league. We're the
second worst team with runners left on base. So yes,
Edgar Citzer, the whole Danny, the whole staff should be
credited with the hitting approach. But I need to see
that number go down, the runners left on base, and
we saw it so much on Sunday. That needs to
(15:15):
drop because we can't be having ten in a game.
You know, that is a we fast forward. I mean,
what if that game's in September and we have ten
runners left on base we're going to be out of
our minds.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Well, I mean, that's basically what happened in twenty twenty
two in the eighteen zero games.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Don't remind me about that, but uh.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, And you're what you're outlining there so eloquently is
that the Mariners are a team that relies on the
long ball. Yeah, and when they don't hit home runs,
they don't score runs. And they have been doing well
at hitting home runs this year, better than in the
last couple of years, mainly because of Cal Rawley, Jne
Polanco's hot streak to start the season. Now, I have
(15:54):
concerns about Polonko right now because he has been bad
in the month of May and he does not look healthy.
That's something are gonna ask Tie as well at four o'clock.
I'm wondering maybe if there's an ale stint coming with him.
But they need him to be right, and you're seeing
Julio kind of opposite, had a slow April, but then
his month of May was really good. So Cal has
just been good all year long. And if the Mariners
(16:15):
don't hit home runs, which I mean, if you're looking
at all of the ways that baseball contributes luck, especially offensively.
Hitting home runs is the way to take luck out
of it, because if you hit it over the fence,
you can't, like, no one can catch it. You like,
it's not like a pretty good random place that you
put it in the grass where it's like hit it
where they ain't sort of situation. So that is the
(16:37):
way to kind of remove that, but it does hurt
your situational hitting when maybe home runs aren't as likely
and you need to just move a runner over or
just put the ball in play it you're seeing those
deficiencies still, even with the improvement of the offenses.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
We're up against the break, but we don't have time
to get into Dylan Moore the leadoff hitter experiment.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Let's be done with that. That's all I have to say.
Let's be done with well. I can't say it any
better myself. We have a lineup out for the Seattle Marions.
We also have injury updates from Mariners general manager Justin Hollander.
We'll get to that coming up as the Mariners are
starting Game one of a three game series tonight against
the Nationals over at Teamobile Park. Got Logan Evans on

Dick fan will continue and give you that Mariner's lineup,
give you some very interesting injury updates from Justin Hollander.
Speaker 2 (17:48):

London tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Dick fane Off calling a Seattle Storm game tonight so
myself and Anders rocking all the way till seven pm tonight. Andrews,
you ready to give away one hundred dollars on Thursday?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh yeah, let's uh. I'm excited for that. It's coming
out of your own pocket, by the way. Oh what
and every single hour for five weeks? Yeah, great for that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Speak you see, not Thursday, you see note thursdays they
are back.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Thankfully they're not coming out of Anders pocket because I
would not be able to supply that very much. Certainly.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
All right, well, everybody get ready for Thursday, and you
don't need to call now. We're not hitting a sounder,
but there will be a queue to call coming up
on Thursday, becau because every Thursday, between this Thursday and
Many twenty ninth and Thursday July tenth, we're gonna be
given away one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Every hour or it'll roll over the next hour. Here's
how it works.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Starting at six am, you'll be directed to text your
first and last name and the city you're from the
four nine, four or five to one. Then at the
top of the next hour, one name will be called out.
That listener will have five minutes to call back and
claim their one hundred dollars. If they don't call back
in that five minutes, the one hundred dollars will roll over.
It's become a fun little competitive thing here with our shows,
(19:31):
seeing who ends up having the best percentages and seeing
if we end up, you know, getting every single hour
except for one, which is the show that breaks the
perfect game. So look forward to that on Thursday, and
hopefully many many of you will be getting one hundred
dollars every hour. Again goes all the way until Thursday,
July tenth. We have a Mariner's lineup out Anders for
(19:54):
tonight's Game one against the Nationals of this three game
homestand JP Crawford leading off for Rodriguez.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
God, I was ready for it. I hadn't looked at it.
I was waiting for you to say the name.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
But yes, that experiment can can kindly, I don't know
if it.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Will because it's like they do it against lefties. So
do I have any other options? I mean, I just
I I'll get to that after you name the lineup.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'll get to what I am once again, leading off,
JP Crawford, Julio Rodriguez, second, cal Rawl.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Your catcher is third. Randy A.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Rose Arena, Mitch Garver. Mitch Garver clutch hit on Sunday.
He's back in the lineup, batting fifth today. Then, yes,
he's in there. Dylan Moore. Then Donovan Solano is your
first baseman, de leyland Tavares your right fielder, and of
course Williamson is at third base, rounding app the lineup
before we talked about that. Anders Also injury updates from
(20:47):
Justin Holland or Hollanders spoke at T Mobile Park a
little bit of go has some news here first up
and noverybody wants to know about the starting pitching. And
I have a question for you about the starting pitching.
About the Mariners Logan Gilbert, his rehab assignment will start
later this week. I guess that's good news that we
are seeing kind of the end of the tunnel for
Logan Gilbert. Bryce Miller should return to the rotation during
(21:10):
this homestand which is outstanding uses he has getting this
off of a Tim Booth's Twitter. He has a small
bone spur in his elbow, but is not believed to
be the cause of his inflammation.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
That from Justin Hollander. Also a couple other notes.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Luke Rayley is back to Seattle this week, likely starting
a rehab assignment next week June third. Victor Roeblace as well.
He's to start strengthening in his shoulders soon, expected to
return the major league roster in September. Not until then,
baseball activities hopefully beginning in July. So long way out
(21:45):
for Victor Roeblace. But I mean Anders with Logan Gilbert
starting the rehab assignment later this week, with Bryce Miller
returning to the rotation we've seen I mean Logan Elvins
goes tonight. I mean two and one, three point three
to three e L five starts so far, he's looked
pretty darn good. You also got Kirby back, you got
Emerson Hancock, who's been looking good. I'm kind of wondering,
(22:06):
is there an odd man out who you throw back
down to Tacoma or do you dare build a six
man rotation?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, I think as of now I would. I would
definitely option Logan Evans back. I know his results have
been okay. One of those was against the White Sox, though,
and like he's gotten some luck, he does his stuff
just I don't think is up to major league par
just yet. And he's only was drafted a couple of
years ago, so he's still I think could use one
(22:33):
or two more years in the miners to kind of
develop his secondary pitches and such. He's definitely a fine
option if you do have the injuries that you do
have now. But the real question is when Logan Gilbert
comes back, if you go with the normal five guy,
what is that because Castillo wu Kirby Gilbert and Bryce Miller,
(22:55):
and then that leaves out Emerson Hancock, who has I
think done enough to show you at this point to
stay on the major league team. I still think he's
a pretty significant drop down. I want to see how
good Kirby looks in his second start. He was a
little rusty in his first start. I want to see
how good Bryce Miller looks when he comes back. Supposedly
this rest has done wonders for him. If he's gonna
(23:15):
be the same pitcher we saw last year, then I
think that should be that's the biggest news for me.
And then same thing with Logan Gilbert. So I think
we have a while to go before we think about
putting Emerson Hancock back down. And if it does get
to that point where they all look good, maybe you
do kind of throw in a six man rotation.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well, it goes back to the conversation we had earlier
about how much Dan Wilson is using those arms and
bathing his guys and making sure that they don't tax
themselves too much because your thart thinking about September and
October potentially, and when Luis Castile goes one hundred and
fourteen pitches on Sunday, it says he's willing to kind
of throw those guys out there, And maybe that's a
thought of, Hey, I'm willing to go one hundred and
(23:53):
fourteen pitches because I know I'm about to give everybody
an extra day arrest moving to a six man rotation.
But at the same time, I mean the way that
he's using Bryce Miller goes against that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
So same with Brian Wu exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I think there's a couple of people he would do
that with, especially now with Kirby coming off injury. He
would have been one of those guys that I think
you let go one hundred and fourteen. But I think
at this point it's really only Luis Castillo, and when
he's healthy, Logan Gilbert, Ryan Wu, they still he has
a major injury history as well, so they're real, like
you said, baby and those guys. So it just depends
(24:25):
on who it is.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And there's another switching topics here. We'll get back to
Mariners later on. But Seahawks OTAs started today out at
the vMac. I know that because I woke up and
saw the news, and because the Seahawks posted a picture
of Sam Darnold walking out onto the field in one
of those great old.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
School royal blue Gosh, why I just go to those
full time? Please do walking out to practice today. But
it was.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
It's interesting because usually there's a lot of buzz around this,
and we get emails from the Seahawks saying, all right,
here's your media schedule for OTAs, here's when the press
conferences are, here's when media can be out at. I
got none of that, and and I kind of just learned, okay, well,
OTAs are beginning for the Seahawks today. And I guess
for me, like there's obviously thoughts of okay, well, which
rookie are you looking to see, which is a decent
(25:11):
question we can get into. But for me, the other
element is just the fact that, boy, it's a beautiful
day out. We're in the mid seventies and you know,
rookies out there, the whole team, Sam Donold's out there.
Sure would be nice Seahawks to open that up for
you know, and this is very selfish, but we the media,
and you know, it comes see take pictures, videos, put
it out there, be part of the news cycle.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And I went back and looked and yeah, every.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Year it seems like the Seahawks welcome out media to
the first day of OTAs. And I was out at
Sounders practice Leer today talking with Masvita Naire.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
We were kind of just chatting about it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
It is kind of weird that the Seahawks were closed
today when you kind of just been I don't know,
maybe it is selfish, but been part of the new
cycle and you had press conferences and you know, hear
from Mike McDonald on you know, getting going in beautiful. Well,
I don't know, it kind of it could have gotten
me a little bit hyped and in the mood for
Seahawks and it kind of just falls flat a little
bit because nobody's out there. At least that's just for
(26:07):
me than the media.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, I think it's another symbol of the changing of
the guard in Seattle. I think this is just another
step of the process of this is becoming Mike McDonald's
team and not no longer Pete Carroll's old team. Obviously
he was the coach last year or so, but there
was some remnants of that old like kind of just
a transitional phase. But with Mike McDonald, he's a buttoned
up guy. He likes to keep things kind of close
(26:28):
to him. Never says anything, no soundbites whatsoever in terms
of like bulletin board material or anything like that. The
bigger thing for me, though, that I saw from recent
NFL news is ESPN has their FPI rankings, so it's
kind of their analytics version of power rankings. Right, Okay,
where do you think the Seahawks landed on those power.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Rankings on the and this is this is all based
on analytics and right, yes, give me fourteenth lower their
twenty first.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I mean first, that's the lower third.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yes, the amount of hours spent by Dick Fane and
Softy debating what lower third. What the difference of the
was Gino Smith the eighteenth quarterback goes the twenty first
quarterback different.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
A few spots causes so many ements. That's so true,
but it's like they also fourth in a division. According
to these analytics their last they have the Rams at tenth,
forty nine, Ers at eleventh, Cardinals at twentieth, and the
Seahawks at twenty first. Ye I don't I personally, that's
a that's way too low for me. I don't think.
(27:33):
I think you guys talked about it on your show
last week, But this team was ten and seven last year. Now,
I understand that the tenth win was against backups, so
I always say they were nine and seven last year.
The tenth game doesn't count because the last game against
the Rams they put the backups in.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
So, but they're not a worst team than they were
last year. I think at worst they are the same team,
and they have an easier schedule, So there's no way
I think they're winning less than nine games this year.
And like I can't say that about the the Niners,
I can't say that about the Cardinals. Maybe you could
say that about the Rams. But I just think the
Seahawks are at least in the top half of this division.
(28:10):
Typical ESPN, Yeah, typical. I mean it's analytics. It's not
like these these random like talk show hosts saying it. So,
I mean whatever, I don't know what analytics you're using,
but yeah, FPI or whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You can twist stats to make your case in any
certain way. Anyway, all right, we'll get a break here
on the show. Jackson Felton andrews Hurst in for Dave
Softi Maller and Dick Faine. Today we're gonn get a
little fun with audio next. Ty Gaine Gonzalez, host of
the Locked On Mariners Podcast. Four o'clock, John Wilner five o'clock.
Continue to hear texts in four nine four five one?
(28:41):
You want to see the Mariners go to a sixth
man rotation here? Or do you want to see Logan
Evans or maybe Emerson Hancock go back down to Tacoma?
What do you want to see the Mariners and Dan
Wilson do with his starting lineup? Four nine four or
five to one for textimonials? Four forty five John Wilner
five o'clock, Dan Wilson, five thirty, Brian Schmitzer five forty five.
We're rocking and roll on a Tuesday on Sports Radio
(29:01):
ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It's now time for Softy and Dix.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Fun with audio, Jimmy g pawn Star, Jimmy mister garoppolo.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Now let's have some fun with audio. It's not Softy
in Dick's fun with audio today.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
We're not gonna hit that Hugh Millin drop either, Jackson
Feltz Anders hurt here. I just love that Hugh isn't
You can't say it himself though?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
So we have to play it for him? Thankfully, No,
we don't. We don't need that today.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Professional radio people here.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Jackson Anders sitting in for Dave, Softy Maller and Dick
Faine to hear today, but all the usual Tuesday stuff,
including fun with audio.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Anders, did you hear that? What's that? Jackson?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Let's go, Let's go to the world of inside the NBA.
There's a couple of clips here. First up, Charles Barkley
and Charles Barkley has had an issue with pronouncing names sometimes.
Last week he could pronounce the name of Minnesota Timberwolves
guard Nikkeil Alexander Walker. So over the weekend, mister Alexander
(30:07):
Walker hears about Chuck not being able to pronounce his
name and gives him a.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Little crap over it.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So then the NBA on t n T plays the
clip from Nikkeiel Alexander Walker clowning Barkley, and Chuck gets
to respond to him.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I thought, like in media, you know, they give them that,
you know, in dictionaries, how they have like that pronunciation thing.
Maybe he's not reading it. I don't know, but yeah,
my name is Nikhil Alexander Walker.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Spell another brother named Diamond Quarter.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
He's not French, and Alexander not Anderson.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
But I'm the name Nichol is not a name, Nikhil
Alexander Walker, great player.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Chuck Nikkeel's not Nickel.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Goodness gracious names though where it's like how do you
say that? And they do for anyone who knows, like
especially if you're in play by play. So maybe they
didn't give Charles Barklay this this phonetic.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Spelling of it had to have been available to him,
someway available versus like, hey, Charles, make sure you read
this before you say a bunch of names and try
and represent players.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You only have four teams to worry about, Charles. You
have the four teams left in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, yeah, especially someone who's playing as well as Alexander walker.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Thank you, it's not yet exactly. Not Anderson, Alexander Walkers.
My name's Anderson, not not Nicholas Nikkiel Barkley. All right,
let's let's stick with Barkley here because this is another
clip here he Andrews.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Did you hear that? What's that? Jackson?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Inside the NBA yesterday's broadcast, they did a promo finally,
I've been just going so long we haven't talked soccer.
They did a promo for the FIFA Club World Up
starting next month, and Charles Barkley had some thoughts on
soccer in America and a player that he called Christian Pulsik.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Thirty two clubs, eleven cities, four weeks and one World champion.
Club World Cup begins June fourteenth on TMZ and streaming.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Shack On does.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
All how we love?
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Chuckle? Right now, let's say you look good man. We
suck at soccer up? The women agree, the women a
game Christian pulls pulls the game plan Hey right now?
Women agree?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Christian Pulsic, Christian Policic, say it with me, Charles again,
this is about pronouncing names.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Christian Policic.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, to be to be fair to Charles on this one.
A it's not his sport. No, yeah, of course that's fine.
And B there is a lot of like you'll hear
announcers with Christian Polisic. H well, then on multiple broadcasts
say it it's it's Polisic, it's policy, it's Christian. It's like,
there's so many other are pool is sick pull a
(33:01):
sick Like there's there's little like intricacies of his names specifically,
so I'll give him a little pass on this.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I do love that they're promoting the Club World Cup,
which the Seattle Sounders are in, by the way, everybody
coming up in just less than three week hosting exactly
hosting three of the biggest clubs around the world.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Uh so those those that's coming out anyway.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So the Club World Cup is specifically clubs as opposed
to countries. But Shack's like America, right, America, Now that's
next year, Shack. This is this is so we suck
as a we suck as an American soccer country.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I guess anders the club club not the international teams.
It's why it's called the FIFA Club World Cup.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Active listening, boys, active listening. And did you hear that
what's that, Jackson? All right, let's go to we have time,
let's go to four. I want to fit four in
for sure. So this is an interesting one. Softy would
hate this clip, which is why we're playing it because
Softy hates when we ask him to listen intently to something.
Actually like active listening. Right, listen very closely to this.
(34:02):
So cal Rawly Homer's on Friday night against the Astros
is game winning to run shot. The call here is
from Todd Kallus of the Houston Astros Space City Home
Network on TV. So on this call from callus, if
you listen closely, you can hear Aaron Goldsmith on the
Root Sports call in the booth right next to callus.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Tied to three, and this is hit down the line
and it is a fair ball and a Q run
home run by cal Rally. Ball has hit a mile
in the air. Maybe you couldn't hear it completely, but
(34:48):
I could. It's very clear.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Is it fair?
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Is it fair?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
It is gone?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Eric Goldsmith, I love you. That was a great call,
by the way, Oh yeah, one of the best I've
heard and since the twenty twenty two season. Honestly, like
it was so well timed so well put and also, okay,
could you tell that the Houston guys could almost.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Be like is that Aaron? That's almost like a double take.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
It's sort of like when you you have certain field
conditions that affect both teams, right, yes, and and you
know that the condition so with these broadcasts booths, which are.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Clearly right next to each other.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, when there's a good asstos thing that happens, you're
in here on route. When there's a good marinything that happens,
you clearly just heard it on the Space City Home network.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I love being able to have that blur. It's sort
of like when you have a color analyst who taught
I mean, Jay Buner does this, and I love it
because soft indicated. I love it because I want to
hear that color analyst. Yes, the fan come out and
I want I want to hear the interesting elements, the
unique elements of a broadcast kill another team's broadcast on
top of your own.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
I love it. It's great.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Side note, I love Jay Buner on all three of
the call, like just and honestly not just him having
him and Ryan Goldsmith as two analysts or sorry, Ryan Goldsmith,
Ryan Rowland Smith with Aaron Goldsmith. So having both of
those guys, I don't think it like they don't get
in each other's way. They ask like questions, you got
one hit or one pitcher? It's perfect. I loved the
(36:17):
three man booth with with those three guys over the weekend,
even though.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Lost three out of four, is still a great broadcast.
Absolutely love it. All. Right, we'll switch gears here in Actually, well, no,
we aren't gonna switch gears. We're gonna continue to talk
Mariners because ty Dane Gonzalez is the host of the
Locked On Mariner podcast. He also writes a belief for
Emerald City Spectrums and DLM. So we're gonna talk to
ty Da Gonzalez about the Mariners starting the series against
(36:43):
the Nationals, coming off of that frustrating series down in Houston.
Still textimonials coming up four nine, four or five to
one at four forty five, John Woolmer five o'clock, Brian
Schpenzer five forty five. We'll also fit in some Dan
Wilson audio along the way. A lot to get to
here on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R
f M
This is not Dave, Softie Maller, that is not Dick Fane, Jackson,
Felts anders Hurst.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Here.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
They've let the inmates run the asylum, I guess. And
there's no goofing around today. We have to actually do
some work and talk about the sports we let Softie
and Dick talk about all day every day.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, and it's weird because I'm going from the pros
pro and ian for ness in the one to three
show to now the producers are running the show from
the three to seven drive time radio. So I get
both ends of the spectrum today. But appreciate you have
me on with you, and it's gonna be fun. This
is gonna be a fun day today. Softie is still
in Greece. I think he's traveling to London tomorrow because
(00:38):
my friend Adam Nathan over in London spurs fan. I said, Oh,
I'm gonna meet up with Softy and as Oh, so
Softie's going from Greece to London, you know? Is he
just gonna traverse the entire globe before he makes his
way back to Seattle. He's gonna be out for I
mean a few more days. Dick Fane calling a Storm
game tonight. He's back tomorrow with Hugh Millen. But yeah,
Jackson Felts anders Hurst here taking you up all the
(00:59):
way to seven o'clock. You know, it was funny Andrews
kind of prepping for this shows. It's we've we've done
so much together, you know, because we do the Hollywood
Weekly podcast talking movies and TV and I don't know
how many hours we've spent talking Star Wars and other media.
And it's like, Okay, you a little bit different here, buddy.
We actually have to talk some sports day and there's
(01:20):
I mean there's quite a lot. I mean, especially seeing
as how it's a Mariner team that coming off of
that road trip and coming off of Sunday's loss, which
feels like yesterday, because today feels like a Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't know about you, man, but I'm still frustrated.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm still fuming off of Sunday because you're looking at
a situation. There's so much to talk about with Dan
Wilson and some questions to ask him. But before we
get into the Mariners, quickly outline today's show. We're gonna
talk some more MS at four o'clock with ty Dane Gonzalez.
He hosts the Mariners Locked On podcast. He'll be joining
us later on. We're also gonna have our normal Tuesday guests.
(01:55):
John Wilner from the San Jose Mercury News The Willner
Hotline at five o'clock talks some call sports.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
There is a new.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Format to the college football playoff, and thank goodness it
came now and not a year ago when it would
have benefited Oregon.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So John'd joined at five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
We're gonna hear from Dan Wilson ahead of the Mariners
opening series tonight against the Nationals. We're here at five thirty.
Brian Schmester, five forty five. You make the call six o'clock.
Textimonials four nine, four or five to one to the
unsponsored text line, send them an all day every day,
four nine, four or five to one. But Anders, yeah, man,
let's let's start with the Mariners, because overall this road
(02:31):
trip six and four, you get the sweep in San Diego,
start strong, you get the series win against Chicago and
then losing three to four to Houston. And it's how
you lost three to four of Houston, and it's how
Sunday's game went down.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It just it leaves you feeling so frustrated.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, and it's as someone who hosts a daily Mariners postcast,
like is what we call it. So it's the postgame
show right on the Lockdown Mariners YouTube channel. It's weird,
like because we react to that specific game in that
specific game only. But when you put it in the
grand scheme of things, if you were to tell me
going into the ten game road trip, three in San Diego,
(03:08):
three in Chicago, and then four in Houston, that we
would end up six and four, Yeah, I would take
that ten times out of ten. Then I would have expected, Okay,
if that's the case, and we probably take two of
three in San Diego, we probably take two of three
in Chicago, and then we split the Houston series. Great,
I would have like, imagine how much different it feels
if that's the case. But it's the same record, but
(03:28):
except and having the last series. But the Houston series
also makes a difference because that's the last thing that
you're reacting to. But you sweep in San Diego, so
that gives you like kind of that buffer room for error,
so to speak. And then but you do drop three
of four in the final series against Houston, which it
does hurt you a little bit more than the previous scenario,
because you know, we've seen so many times in the
(03:50):
past couple of years that like these one or two
games that you play against division rivals can come back
as tiebreakers. So right, I mean, we'll get into the
game in just a sec. But I just want overall,
I think six and four road trip isn't the end
of the one.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I mean, flip it the other way around. Let's say
that we get swept by San Diego and we say
three of four from Houston and we end up, you know,
getting the six wins that way, and we're saying, Okay,
we're coming off of a win on Sunday, saying we
just look at leading the AL West. It's suddenly expanded
to what it would be five and a half, maybe
six and a half games, whatever it ends up being.
So it's entirely different because it was the Astros, because
(04:24):
the race in the West has just tightened so much so,
and because of I think how Sunday's game went, and
because Sunday was one of the more frustrating games of
the year. Man, I mean, there's so many Dan Wilson
decisions to talk about. He gets ejected for the first
time ever that this is a player or coach exactly. Yeah.
I mean you think about how many years and games
(04:45):
he spent, you know, a catcher behind the plate. He's
never been ejected once, and then he chooses that time
to get ejected. One of the weirdest occasions where it's
the strikeout to Randy Rose Arena. It wasn't even I
don't think listen las Diaz had a bad game. Yeah,
it's very obvious he had a poor game, but that
strikeout that came right before the ejection, that wasn't a
(05:08):
bad strike call at the end. At the end of
the day, I think it's just the accumulation of everything
and maybe I don't know, Danny trying to spark his
team but backfired.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Well, and it's funny because this is a well known
thing with MLB managers. It's it's one of those situations
where maybe he wasn't like, oh my god, that was
a strike. That's why I'm coming out to argue. He's
trying to get his team fired up. His teammates like
know that they have hit or he has their back.
It's it would be a great time to rally and
(05:39):
kind of come back from this. That wasn't the only
weird part about his decision making.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But there's a lot.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, you're you're so right. A was not a strike.
B Randy or Rose Arena was just having a pretty
tame conversation with Las Dia was like, hey, just checking
to see if that was a strike sort of situation.
They both speak Spanish. I'm sure it was a lot
along those lines. And then you just see Dan Wilson
come out of nowhere, feel me, and it's like where
did this come from? And you could see even Randy's
(06:06):
like what's going on here? It was a weird time
to do it. I can understand if, like everyone's feeling
frustrated and like, oh my god, we just and then
your manager does that and it gets everyone fired up,
But I don't think it was the right time to
do it. I understand you to pick your moments to
get your team fired up and like maybe spark a comeback,
but like you said, it didn't end up being the case.
I just wonder, you know, some other pitching decisions were
(06:29):
going on.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, let's talk about Casey like a mean because he
goes for two innings on Saturday and then he pitches
the ninth inning on Sunday and obviously he gives up
the walk off shot to Christian Walker, and I'm kind
of just, you know, for Dan Wilson, I will listen.
Maybe he's not the one making that call in that moment.
I like to think that the decisions were already made
(06:50):
and planned out, but at the end of the day,
I mean, it's a guy pitching on Sunday. I'm not
sure how tax that bullpen was. Maybe there were guys
who just were strictly not available and you have but
if there was one guy who wasn't available, it should
be somebody who pitched two winnings the previous day out
of the pen. I don't get having Casey there in
that spot. And also, I mean Matt Brash, who had
(07:12):
faced what two batters prior. Maybe Matt Brash's pitch count
is ten that would surprise me, but still he's faced
two guys. He could come in in the ninth ready
to go and kind of start you off. And if
you have to bring in Casey after Brash has you know,
faced a number of you know, pitches, fine, but I
guess I don't understand going Casey over Brash in that moment,
(07:32):
and I'll be interested to hear why Dan or why
his staff continued with that decision.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So to me, it's an obvious case of pitching to
the back of the baseball card. I am fine with
not going Brash there. I would have started Brash in
the inning instead of Colin Snyder in the eighth inning,
but they end up doing Coln Snyder. He gets a
couple guys on base, but also gets an out. Brash
ends up having the bases loaded and he gets out
of it.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
The ninth inning, though, is the big one to me
because this has happened all year, And this is where
Dan Wilson and Scott's Service are very different managers, right.
Scott's Service would always put his best reliever in the
most high leveraged situation, no matter at what time in
the game that came. So, say you're facing the top
of the lineup in the eighth inning and you're up
(08:17):
by a run, that's where he would use Andres Munyos.
He wouldn't wait till the ninth inning for a save
quote unquote opportunity.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But that's what Dan Wilson's done all year.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Dan Wilson has waited until the Mariners have had the
lead for Andre's Munas to come in.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Changes somebody else than Dan making this call to no.
I think this is Dan.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
This is because this is what we did before with
Scott's service, and then now this is what Dan Wilson
is doing. Yeah, but this is a this situation where
you need to change your approach because like having to
wait for Andres Munos until you have a lead. Of course,
it was tied in the ninth inning at that point,
so you're waiting for the Mariners to take high leverage
situation still, and you're managing a situation where that situation
(08:58):
might not come. And it didn't come, you risk not
having the opportunity to use your best picture and waiting
for something that isn't likely to come, and that's what
ends up happening if you're saving Andres Munos for that
save situation. And it's not like he wasn't available. He
had the day before off, the Mariners had Monday off,
so he was completely able to pitch. They were just
(09:18):
waiting for the Mariners to take the lead. And I
understand a little bit. Munyos has actually talked in multiple
you know situations with the media and said he likes
knowing exactly when he's gonna come in. He knows he's
gonna be the ninth inning pitcher, and he knows he's
gonna be the closer quote unquote. But I think in
this situation, you have to use your best picture against
the middle of Houston's lineup to try and split this series.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Exactly because it's such a device. This game is the
difference between one and three and two and two, the
mentality coming home, finishing the road trip. And I agree
and that circumstance, but I mean, you know, we have
ty Dan Gonzol as a host of the Lockdown Mariner
podcast at four o'clock, and I also want to ask
him about the overall you know, thinking and philosophy of
(10:02):
how Dan Wilson uses his pitchers. It's starters, I should say,
because we've seen him kind of, for lack of a
better word, baby guys and just make sure that they can,
you know, go deep into September or maybe October by
limiting their pitch count. And you've seen that, you know,
over the end of last season and this season so far.
And then we see Luis Castill go out and throw
one hundred and fourteen pitches, second most pitches he's ever
(10:25):
thrown in a Seattle uniform on Sunday, And I love that,
don't don't, baby, I want to see this constantly. Maybe
this is the new philosophy of Wilson is just I
have horses like Luis Castillo.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I have a rock.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Literally, let's go use that. So I liked seeing Luis
Castillo go to one hundred and fourteen. I guess I
would just, you know, wonder that kind of dichotomy between
I'm gonna ask ty this lit four o'clock, the element
of using guys, so it's one hundred and fourteen pitches,
but also saying now we want it. Maybe it's the age,
I don't know, anders, Maybe it's the element of, you know,
(10:58):
younger guys. I want to watch the pitch count there
because we have to think about not only twenty twenty five,
but we have to think about twenty six, twenty seven,
and Luis Castillo may not be part of the extended place,
but yeah, either way, it just interests me how the
thought process of using starters can be so different.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, and so if you put everything in context in
that game, So if you are gonna wait for munios
until you have the lead. If you are not gonna
necessarily use Gabe Spire, a couple guys aren't available. As
we talked about earlier, that makes more sense and why
he extended Luis Castillo's to be like, hey, you gotta
get through six.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
We can't have.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Another reliever coming in, and we need to get more
outs than we have available. But I also think what
you said is very true. The age comes, it becomes
a huge factor. Injury history becomes a huge factor. Luis Castillo,
as you said, is a rock.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
He is.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Ever since he came to Seattle, he has made almost
every single start that's available to him. That's why I
think he's actually one of the more valuable starters. I
understand he's kind of on the tail end of his
career and he's not as dominant as when he first
came here, but the best of best abilities availability in fact,
especially as a starting pitcher when there's so many injuries
and knowing that you're going to get six innings out
of a guy every single time. I understand he didn't
(12:08):
have his best start, but I love that. I didn't
hate that. I should say hate the decision to stick
with Luis Custio in that game, it ends up kind
of hurting them because he gives up the double that
ties the game. At that point, you could have gone
to a reliever, maybe been a little bit more proactive.
I don't hate that one. It's the closing. It's the
closing situation that I was furious about it exactly. I mean,
at the end of the day, it was one of
(12:30):
crazy stat As I was watching the game. How at
one point the Houston just kept getting single after single
after single, and eventually.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It made him pay.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
But at one point across games, the Astros had hit
twenty four straight singles. Yep, I haven't seen that many
singles since I was using dating apps in twenty twelve,
Like twenty forms all right, straight singles for Houston. I mean,
I guess credit to the starting staff for you know,
limiting a yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I think the other big storylining outside of Dan Wilson's
decision making is the offense, because I think we've credited
it rightly, so you know, Edgar and Sitzer and that
whole crew for their hitting approach this year. But I
think specifically the stat that kind of wowed me, it
felt coming out of Sunday's game, And let me see
if you felt the same way before I give you
(13:21):
this stat. It felt that wow, runners left on base
and runners left in scoring position, that for me was
just the glaring red alarm in that game. And I
thought to myself after watching it, Yeah, it feels like
that's kind of been a little bit of a problem
this season. It kind of felt that way before I
looked into the stats. Has it felt that way for
you or maybe you have looked into the stats.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I haven't looked into exactly because a lot of the
RASP numbers can be inflated because a lot of the
teams that have the most runners left on base I think,
is that the one you're talking about, Yeah, that means
you're getting more opportunities with runners left on base. So
if they actually look at Mariners of the twenty three
and twenty four where I would say our offense was
(14:05):
worse than it is now at situational hitting, at everything
year the last two years, but it's because they weren't
even getting the opportunity.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It's the point.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
So getting runners on base in general is the bigger
issue I think, or not issue but that's the bigger
number to look for. But you're right, I don't think
their offense in situational hitting with runners on base in
less than two outs has improved as much as other
parts of it has exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I mean, I think I think that's that's pretty correct there.
And because Sunday I looked up ten men left on
base for the Mariners. On Sunday, the Astros had eleven.
I think that's the story of the game's both teams.
But this season over I mean, then this is also
a team second most home runs in the American League.
This team hits the Long Bowl, but overall with runners
left on base, we're at seven point three eight a game.
(14:54):
That's second from the bottom in the league. We're the
second worst team with runners left on base. So yes,
Edgar Citzer, the whole Danny, the whole staff should be
credited with the hitting approach. But I need to see
that number go down, the runners left on base, and
we saw it so much on Sunday. That needs to
(15:15):
drop because we can't be having ten in a game.
You know, that is a we fast forward. I mean,
what if that game's in September and we have ten
runners left on base we're going to be out of
our minds.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Well, I mean, that's basically what happened in twenty twenty
two in the eighteen zero games.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Don't remind me about that, but uh.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, And you're what you're outlining there so eloquently is
that the Mariners are a team that relies on the
long ball. Yeah, and when they don't hit home runs,
they don't score runs. And they have been doing well
at hitting home runs this year, better than in the
last couple of years, mainly because of Cal Rawley, Jne
Polanco's hot streak to start the season. Now, I have
(15:54):
concerns about Polonko right now because he has been bad
in the month of May and he does not look healthy.
That's something are gonna ask Tie as well at four o'clock.
I'm wondering maybe if there's an ale stint coming with him.
But they need him to be right, and you're seeing
Julio kind of opposite, had a slow April, but then
his month of May was really good. So Cal has
just been good all year long. And if the Mariners
(16:15):
don't hit home runs, which I mean, if you're looking
at all of the ways that baseball contributes luck, especially offensively.
Hitting home runs is the way to take luck out
of it, because if you hit it over the fence,
you can't, like, no one can catch it. You like,
it's not like a pretty good random place that you
put it in the grass where it's like hit it
where they ain't sort of situation. So that is the
(16:37):
way to kind of remove that, but it does hurt
your situational hitting when maybe home runs aren't as likely
and you need to just move a runner over or
just put the ball in play it you're seeing those
deficiencies still, even with the improvement of the offenses.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
We're up against the break, but we don't have time
to get into Dylan Moore the leadoff hitter experiment.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Let's be done with that. That's all I have to say.
Let's be done with well. I can't say it any
better myself. We have a lineup out for the Seattle Marions.
We also have injury updates from Mariners general manager Justin Hollander.
We'll get to that coming up as the Mariners are
starting Game one of a three game series tonight against
the Nationals over at Teamobile Park. Got Logan Evans on
the mound today. George Kirby tomorrow. Emerson Hancock on Thursday,
(17:21):
ty Dan Gonzalez from the Lockdown Mariners podcast joining us
at four o'clock. John Wilner talking some college football the
new playoff format. At five o'clock Brian Schmetzer five forty five.
We'll also hear from Dan Wilson. We'll get something you
make the call text Ammonials four nine, four five one.
Coming up at four forty five.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Jackson Feltz and Andershurst in for Dave Softy Maller and
Dick fan will continue and give you that Mariner's lineup,
give you some very interesting injury updates from Justin Hollander.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
We'll get to that and more next.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
On Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
FM, Jackson Felts, anders Hurst in for Dave Softie Maller
who is in Greece right now, I think traveling to
London tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Dick fane Off calling a Seattle Storm game tonight so
myself and Anders rocking all the way till seven pm tonight. Andrews,
you ready to give away one hundred dollars on Thursday?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh yeah, let's uh. I'm excited for that. It's coming
out of your own pocket, by the way. Oh what
and every single hour for five weeks? Yeah, great for that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Speak you see, not Thursday, you see note thursdays they
are back.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Thankfully they're not coming out of Anders pocket because I
would not be able to supply that very much. Certainly.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
All right, well, everybody get ready for Thursday, and you
don't need to call now. We're not hitting a sounder,
but there will be a queue to call coming up
on Thursday, becau because every Thursday, between this Thursday and
Many twenty ninth and Thursday July tenth, we're gonna be
given away one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Every hour or it'll roll over the next hour. Here's
how it works.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Starting at six am, you'll be directed to text your
first and last name and the city you're from the
four nine, four or five to one. Then at the
top of the next hour, one name will be called out.
That listener will have five minutes to call back and
claim their one hundred dollars. If they don't call back
in that five minutes, the one hundred dollars will roll over.
It's become a fun little competitive thing here with our shows,
(19:31):
seeing who ends up having the best percentages and seeing
if we end up, you know, getting every single hour
except for one, which is the show that breaks the
perfect game. So look forward to that on Thursday, and
hopefully many many of you will be getting one hundred
dollars every hour. Again goes all the way until Thursday,
July tenth. We have a Mariner's lineup out Anders for
(19:54):
tonight's Game one against the Nationals of this three game
homestand JP Crawford leading off for Rodriguez.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
God, I was ready for it. I hadn't looked at it.
I was waiting for you to say the name.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
But yes, that experiment can can kindly, I don't know
if it.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Will because it's like they do it against lefties. So
do I have any other options? I mean, I just
I I'll get to that after you name the lineup.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'll get to what I am once again, leading off,
JP Crawford, Julio Rodriguez, second, cal Rawl.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Your catcher is third. Randy A.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Rose Arena, Mitch Garver. Mitch Garver clutch hit on Sunday.
He's back in the lineup, batting fifth today. Then, yes,
he's in there. Dylan Moore. Then Donovan Solano is your
first baseman, de leyland Tavares your right fielder, and of
course Williamson is at third base, rounding app the lineup
before we talked about that. Anders Also injury updates from
(20:47):
Justin Holland or Hollanders spoke at T Mobile Park a
little bit of go has some news here first up
and noverybody wants to know about the starting pitching. And
I have a question for you about the starting pitching.
About the Mariners Logan Gilbert, his rehab assignment will start
later this week. I guess that's good news that we
are seeing kind of the end of the tunnel for
Logan Gilbert. Bryce Miller should return to the rotation during
(21:10):
this homestand which is outstanding uses he has getting this
off of a Tim Booth's Twitter. He has a small
bone spur in his elbow, but is not believed to
be the cause of his inflammation.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
That from Justin Hollander. Also a couple other notes.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Luke Rayley is back to Seattle this week, likely starting
a rehab assignment next week June third. Victor Roeblace as well.
He's to start strengthening in his shoulders soon, expected to
return the major league roster in September. Not until then,
baseball activities hopefully beginning in July. So long way out
(21:45):
for Victor Roeblace. But I mean Anders with Logan Gilbert
starting the rehab assignment later this week, with Bryce Miller
returning to the rotation we've seen I mean Logan Elvins
goes tonight. I mean two and one, three point three
to three e L five starts so far, he's looked
pretty darn good. You also got Kirby back, you got
Emerson Hancock, who's been looking good. I'm kind of wondering,
(22:06):
is there an odd man out who you throw back
down to Tacoma or do you dare build a six
man rotation?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, I think as of now I would. I would
definitely option Logan Evans back. I know his results have
been okay. One of those was against the White Sox, though,
and like he's gotten some luck, he does his stuff
just I don't think is up to major league par
just yet. And he's only was drafted a couple of
years ago, so he's still I think could use one
(22:33):
or two more years in the miners to kind of
develop his secondary pitches and such. He's definitely a fine
option if you do have the injuries that you do
have now. But the real question is when Logan Gilbert
comes back, if you go with the normal five guy,
what is that because Castillo wu Kirby Gilbert and Bryce Miller,
(22:55):
and then that leaves out Emerson Hancock, who has I
think done enough to show you at this point to
stay on the major league team. I still think he's
a pretty significant drop down. I want to see how
good Kirby looks in his second start. He was a
little rusty in his first start. I want to see
how good Bryce Miller looks when he comes back. Supposedly
this rest has done wonders for him. If he's gonna
(23:15):
be the same pitcher we saw last year, then I
think that should be that's the biggest news for me.
And then same thing with Logan Gilbert. So I think
we have a while to go before we think about
putting Emerson Hancock back down. And if it does get
to that point where they all look good, maybe you
do kind of throw in a six man rotation.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well, it goes back to the conversation we had earlier
about how much Dan Wilson is using those arms and
bathing his guys and making sure that they don't tax
themselves too much because your thart thinking about September and
October potentially, and when Luis Castile goes one hundred and
fourteen pitches on Sunday, it says he's willing to kind
of throw those guys out there, And maybe that's a
thought of, Hey, I'm willing to go one hundred and
(23:53):
fourteen pitches because I know I'm about to give everybody
an extra day arrest moving to a six man rotation.
But at the same time, I mean the way that
he's using Bryce Miller goes against that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
So same with Brian Wu exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I think there's a couple of people he would do
that with, especially now with Kirby coming off injury. He
would have been one of those guys that I think
you let go one hundred and fourteen. But I think
at this point it's really only Luis Castillo, and when
he's healthy, Logan Gilbert, Ryan Wu, they still he has
a major injury history as well, so they're real, like
you said, baby and those guys. So it just depends
(24:25):
on who it is.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And there's another switching topics here. We'll get back to
Mariners later on. But Seahawks OTAs started today out at
the vMac. I know that because I woke up and
saw the news, and because the Seahawks posted a picture
of Sam Darnold walking out onto the field in one
of those great old.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
School royal blue Gosh, why I just go to those
full time? Please do walking out to practice today. But
it was.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
It's interesting because usually there's a lot of buzz around this,
and we get emails from the Seahawks saying, all right,
here's your media schedule for OTAs, here's when the press
conferences are, here's when media can be out at. I
got none of that, and and I kind of just learned, okay, well,
OTAs are beginning for the Seahawks today. And I guess
for me, like there's obviously thoughts of okay, well, which
rookie are you looking to see, which is a decent
(25:11):
question we can get into. But for me, the other
element is just the fact that, boy, it's a beautiful
day out. We're in the mid seventies and you know,
rookies out there, the whole team, Sam Donold's out there.
Sure would be nice Seahawks to open that up for
you know, and this is very selfish, but we the media,
and you know, it comes see take pictures, videos, put
it out there, be part of the news cycle.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And I went back and looked and yeah, every.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Year it seems like the Seahawks welcome out media to
the first day of OTAs. And I was out at
Sounders practice Leer today talking with Masvita Naire.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
We were kind of just chatting about it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
It is kind of weird that the Seahawks were closed
today when you kind of just been I don't know,
maybe it is selfish, but been part of the new
cycle and you had press conferences and you know, hear
from Mike McDonald on you know, getting going in beautiful. Well,
I don't know, it kind of it could have gotten
me a little bit hyped and in the mood for
Seahawks and it kind of just falls flat a little
bit because nobody's out there. At least that's just for
(26:07):
me than the media.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, I think it's another symbol of the changing of
the guard in Seattle. I think this is just another
step of the process of this is becoming Mike McDonald's
team and not no longer Pete Carroll's old team. Obviously
he was the coach last year or so, but there
was some remnants of that old like kind of just
a transitional phase. But with Mike McDonald, he's a buttoned
up guy. He likes to keep things kind of close
(26:28):
to him. Never says anything, no soundbites whatsoever in terms
of like bulletin board material or anything like that. The
bigger thing for me, though, that I saw from recent
NFL news is ESPN has their FPI rankings, so it's
kind of their analytics version of power rankings. Right, Okay,
where do you think the Seahawks landed on those power.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Rankings on the and this is this is all based
on analytics and right, yes, give me fourteenth lower their
twenty first.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I mean first, that's the lower third.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yes, the amount of hours spent by Dick Fane and
Softy debating what lower third. What the difference of the
was Gino Smith the eighteenth quarterback goes the twenty first
quarterback different.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
A few spots causes so many ements. That's so true,
but it's like they also fourth in a division. According
to these analytics their last they have the Rams at tenth,
forty nine, Ers at eleventh, Cardinals at twentieth, and the
Seahawks at twenty first. Ye I don't I personally, that's
a that's way too low for me. I don't think.
(27:33):
I think you guys talked about it on your show
last week, But this team was ten and seven last year. Now,
I understand that the tenth win was against backups, so
I always say they were nine and seven last year.
The tenth game doesn't count because the last game against
the Rams they put the backups in.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
So, but they're not a worst team than they were
last year. I think at worst they are the same team,
and they have an easier schedule, So there's no way
I think they're winning less than nine games this year.
And like I can't say that about the the Niners,
I can't say that about the Cardinals. Maybe you could
say that about the Rams. But I just think the
Seahawks are at least in the top half of this division.
(28:10):
Typical ESPN, Yeah, typical. I mean it's analytics. It's not
like these these random like talk show hosts saying it. So,
I mean whatever, I don't know what analytics you're using,
but yeah, FPI or whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You can twist stats to make your case in any
certain way. Anyway, all right, we'll get a break here
on the show. Jackson Felton andrews Hurst in for Dave
Softi Maller and Dick Faine. Today we're gonn get a
little fun with audio next. Ty Gaine Gonzalez, host of
the Locked On Mariners Podcast. Four o'clock, John Wilner five o'clock.
Continue to hear texts in four nine four five one?
(28:41):
You want to see the Mariners go to a sixth
man rotation here? Or do you want to see Logan
Evans or maybe Emerson Hancock go back down to Tacoma?
What do you want to see the Mariners and Dan
Wilson do with his starting lineup? Four nine four or
five to one for textimonials? Four forty five John Wilner
five o'clock, Dan Wilson, five thirty, Brian Schmitzer five forty five.
We're rocking and roll on a Tuesday on Sports Radio
(29:01):
ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It's now time for Softy and Dix.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Fun with audio, Jimmy g pawn Star, Jimmy mister garoppolo.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Now let's have some fun with audio. It's not Softy
in Dick's fun with audio today.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
We're not gonna hit that Hugh Millin drop either, Jackson
Feltz Anders hurt here. I just love that Hugh isn't
You can't say it himself though?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
So we have to play it for him? Thankfully, No,
we don't. We don't need that today.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Professional radio people here.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Jackson Anders sitting in for Dave, Softy Maller and Dick
Faine to hear today, but all the usual Tuesday stuff,
including fun with audio.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Anders, did you hear that? What's that? Jackson?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Let's go, Let's go to the world of inside the NBA.
There's a couple of clips here. First up, Charles Barkley
and Charles Barkley has had an issue with pronouncing names sometimes.
Last week he could pronounce the name of Minnesota Timberwolves
guard Nikkeil Alexander Walker. So over the weekend, mister Alexander
(30:07):
Walker hears about Chuck not being able to pronounce his
name and gives him a.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Little crap over it.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So then the NBA on t n T plays the
clip from Nikkeiel Alexander Walker clowning Barkley, and Chuck gets
to respond to him.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I thought, like in media, you know, they give them that,
you know, in dictionaries, how they have like that pronunciation thing.
Maybe he's not reading it. I don't know, but yeah,
my name is Nikhil Alexander Walker.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Spell another brother named Diamond Quarter.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
He's not French, and Alexander not Anderson.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
But I'm the name Nichol is not a name, Nikhil
Alexander Walker, great player.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Chuck Nikkeel's not Nickel.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Goodness gracious names though where it's like how do you
say that? And they do for anyone who knows, like
especially if you're in play by play. So maybe they
didn't give Charles Barklay this this phonetic.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Spelling of it had to have been available to him,
someway available versus like, hey, Charles, make sure you read
this before you say a bunch of names and try
and represent players.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You only have four teams to worry about, Charles. You
have the four teams left in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, yeah, especially someone who's playing as well as Alexander walker.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Thank you, it's not yet exactly. Not Anderson, Alexander Walkers.
My name's Anderson, not not Nicholas Nikkiel Barkley. All right,
let's let's stick with Barkley here because this is another
clip here he Andrews.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Did you hear that? What's that? Jackson?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Inside the NBA yesterday's broadcast, they did a promo finally,
I've been just going so long we haven't talked soccer.
They did a promo for the FIFA Club World Up
starting next month, and Charles Barkley had some thoughts on
soccer in America and a player that he called Christian Pulsik.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Thirty two clubs, eleven cities, four weeks and one World champion.
Club World Cup begins June fourteenth on TMZ and streaming.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Shack On does.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
All how we love?
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Chuckle? Right now, let's say you look good man. We
suck at soccer up? The women agree, the women a
game Christian pulls pulls the game plan Hey right now?
Women agree?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Christian Pulsic, Christian Policic, say it with me, Charles again,
this is about pronouncing names.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Christian Policic.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, to be to be fair to Charles on this one.
A it's not his sport. No, yeah, of course that's fine.
And B there is a lot of like you'll hear
announcers with Christian Polisic. H well, then on multiple broadcasts
say it it's it's Polisic, it's policy, it's Christian. It's like,
there's so many other are pool is sick pull a
(33:01):
sick Like there's there's little like intricacies of his names specifically,
so I'll give him a little pass on this.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I do love that they're promoting the Club World Cup,
which the Seattle Sounders are in, by the way, everybody
coming up in just less than three week hosting exactly
hosting three of the biggest clubs around the world.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Uh so those those that's coming out anyway.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So the Club World Cup is specifically clubs as opposed
to countries. But Shack's like America, right, America, Now that's
next year, Shack. This is this is so we suck
as a we suck as an American soccer country.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I guess anders the club club not the international teams.
It's why it's called the FIFA Club World Cup.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Active listening, boys, active listening. And did you hear that
what's that, Jackson? All right, let's go to we have time,
let's go to four. I want to fit four in
for sure. So this is an interesting one. Softy would
hate this clip, which is why we're playing it because
Softy hates when we ask him to listen intently to something.
Actually like active listening. Right, listen very closely to this.
(34:02):
So cal Rawly Homer's on Friday night against the Astros
is game winning to run shot. The call here is
from Todd Kallus of the Houston Astros Space City Home
Network on TV. So on this call from callus, if
you listen closely, you can hear Aaron Goldsmith on the
Root Sports call in the booth right next to callus.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Tied to three, and this is hit down the line
and it is a fair ball and a Q run
home run by cal Rally. Ball has hit a mile
in the air. Maybe you couldn't hear it completely, but
(34:48):
I could. It's very clear.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Is it fair?
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Is it fair?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
It is gone?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Eric Goldsmith, I love you. That was a great call,
by the way, Oh yeah, one of the best I've
heard and since the twenty twenty two season. Honestly, like
it was so well timed so well put and also, okay,
could you tell that the Houston guys could almost.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Be like is that Aaron? That's almost like a double take.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
It's sort of like when you you have certain field
conditions that affect both teams, right, yes, and and you
know that the condition so with these broadcasts booths, which are.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Clearly right next to each other.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, when there's a good asstos thing that happens, you're
in here on route. When there's a good marinything that happens,
you clearly just heard it on the Space City Home network.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I love being able to have that blur. It's sort
of like when you have a color analyst who taught
I mean, Jay Buner does this, and I love it
because soft indicated. I love it because I want to
hear that color analyst. Yes, the fan come out and
I want I want to hear the interesting elements, the
unique elements of a broadcast kill another team's broadcast on
top of your own.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
I love it. It's great.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Side note, I love Jay Buner on all three of
the call, like just and honestly not just him having
him and Ryan Goldsmith as two analysts or sorry, Ryan Goldsmith,
Ryan Rowland Smith with Aaron Goldsmith. So having both of
those guys, I don't think it like they don't get
in each other's way. They ask like questions, you got
one hit or one pitcher? It's perfect. I loved the
(36:17):
three man booth with with those three guys over the weekend,
even though.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Lost three out of four, is still a great broadcast.
Absolutely love it. All. Right, we'll switch gears here in Actually, well, no,
we aren't gonna switch gears. We're gonna continue to talk
Mariners because ty Dane Gonzalez is the host of the
Locked On Mariner podcast. He also writes a belief for
Emerald City Spectrums and DLM. So we're gonna talk to
ty Da Gonzalez about the Mariners starting the series against
(36:43):
the Nationals, coming off of that frustrating series down in Houston.
