Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I'm gonna tell you right now, if I like,
I don't want we Admittedly, when things aren't good, sometimes
that can be when the molly Whoppers are at their best.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yes, I would say.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
But let's be honest. We all rather see them win
and talk about wins. Hey five and one week, let's
let's talk about the good things that didn't happen the
opposite did one in five And because of that, I
hear from a lot of you guys listening right now, Hey,
we are mollywopping. You guys are on mollywopping them money
right like they need it. They need it, and we

(00:39):
will give it to that like a mix. And then
when cam Zone is going to come up and save
the day, Oh no, it's I don't know about I'm
not gonna speak for Chris, but I can speak for Nathan.
I'll just tee it up for him for his opening
thoughts and we'll just let him go. But that's like
his least favorite player of all time. Yeah, and so
it'll be entertaining. Uh that I'm more. I thought that

(01:03):
was really interesting that he was gonna do an autograph signing.
Canzone really like that's something people had an interest.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
In seriously, man, Okay, they want the hand symbol too
on the autograph for the Italian thing, just because his
last name is guns Lordy.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
You know, it's wild. I mentioned this to MJ and
the crosstalk think about how different things are. Though they
get the win yesterday, there were a couple of bright
spots in that win. We'll get to Kirby in a second.
But the day that Randio Roseraina had was really good.
In fact, two days in a row. Yeah, Rose Rain

(01:41):
has done really well. So but but the second one
coming two doubles in a win, and then George Kirby
was I mean, he was George Kirbye and then some Yeah.
So you come out of that game, you're like, all right,
well this is really good, Like Kirby's great, and and

(02:02):
you see some signs of life from from from Morose Arena.
And we've been you know, Sarah's has been telling us forever. Yea, hey,
this guy will heat up at some point and look
out and he hadn't yet. Well he did yesterday. We'll
see if you can carry that over through Arizona, the
Arizona series before they come home next weekend. But it's

(02:24):
wild because if that game had happened on Saturday, how
different would you feel as a Mariner fan? Maybe not
at all, but how different would you feel if they
would have won Saturday? Kirby would have been great, and
then they would have had Saturday's game yesterday and that
was the final game of the series.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, you can think about that, or you can think
about Saturday's game. Because if Julio doesn't get hit by
that ground ball, just a freak accident, right, he scores
on that play to go up by four, I want
to say, at that point, right right, and he stays
in the center field where Leodi Taveres doesn't fumble two balls.
By the way, you see the difference in centerfield defense

(03:00):
when Julio's not out there just saying, and the.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Center fielder, by the way, if they do indeed send
down Ta varies.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I mean, Julio played yesterday.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
The backup.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
God, I don't even know if you don't really have
one at this point. No, there's zero chance that guy's
playing centerfield. I think the only reason you're keeping to
Varius is because nah, no, I honestly don't think you
have any like, like I'm being serious, like, like, no,
you don't.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'll ask Chris like if they like if if like
I know, everyone was killing Leonti and I get it,
I mean defensively, that's but like he could play center field, okay, yeah,
like most of the time, like like that game was
notwithstanding Rylan Thomas, is he your backup centerfielder? He's ended
up right now, is he?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
No, he's not.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Like so like if something were to happen to Julio,
or is Julio just get to play every game for
the rest of the year.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I mean, that's kind of what it's looking like at
this point, unless you're, like, like I said, if you're keeping.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm talking about today roster today, like if indeed, because
we think that's what's gonna happen, right, that's gonna be
the corresponding roster move is to Varius goes down, I
don't know, or he could go down he just get dfaight, Yeah,
I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I honestly don't know. They can do a couple options.
I think they could, you know, forgo master Bony. I
think they have to keep to Varius on the roster
because of that exact reason.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, So we'll see what they end up doing Yeah,
I don't know. Uh, interesting, all right, well, yeah we'll
get to that. But yeah, I'm sorry you were saying about.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, so you could you could flip it the other
way and saying that if they win that game, which
I think, if Julio stays in the center field doesn't
get hit, they are by four runs he catches those
two balls that Leoti doesn't get, uh, then they win
the series. And you feel a lot different about you know,
last week than you do now just because of one game,
which is pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah, and my point is just sometimes the timing of
the one game.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's true.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Now you've go to Arizona, go okay, you know things
are I think, because here's the glass half full?

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Is this?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
You have a one in five week and we will
certainly address one and five, like no doubt we're going
to address one in five. But you have a one
in five week, but your last one is so encouraging
because of what a Rose Raina did. You saw those
signs of life there, just that one game was good
and Kirby was so good that UK, Okay, maybe we

(05:15):
can put to bed the concerns for George Kirby and
his command. I mean, the fourteenth strikeouts most is twenty
eighteen when it was our guy, your guy, you know,
the maple Leaf, the big Leaf whatever they called him
back then, the Big Maple. Yeah, you know, had had
the same and it's it's encouraging in that regard. At
the end of the day, though a week ago you

(05:37):
had a half game lead in the American League West
and now you're two and a half out, yeah, two
and a half. Like a week and a half ago
you had a three and a half game lead. Like
it's it goes away quick. We saw this last year
as well. I think we see the warts in the lineup.
You know, Mark brought up MG brought up the left

(05:57):
on base stuff going on. Right now, we're starting to
see the warts. And now it's gonna be hard because
we're gonna watch a team play tonight that you know,
Chuck had a great breakdown in the pregame. You know,
this morning at at eight or actually nine thirty a
preview of the series. You're gonna see a game tonight,
a team tonight. Their best picture is going to night
for Arizona. After that, they don't have much pitching. Their

(06:17):
bullpen's a mess, but they can hit, they get on base,
they walk a lot, and they've got some guys at
the top of the order that are really good and dangerous.
So if your pitching's not on for Seattle, it's a
dangerous series. And then we're gonna watch Suarez and he's
gonna Gino is gonna do you know what he's gonna
do over three games.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's gonna hit like four bombs.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, he's gonna hit. He's gonna strike out like eight
times and hit two or three home runs. Yeah, and
those home runs will leave everybody wanting yes, like right,
it's like, uh, man, yeah, only right, yeah, only I
mean only.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
The biggest thing from the one in five week for
me is that the fact that George Kirby and I like,
if he's himself, if he is that ace pitcher that
you know is that is in there, right, that's a huge,
huge difference in the outlook for this team.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I think.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, and especially if you get Logan Gilbert coming back. Uh,
it's it's gonna be it's gonna be a different story
for the pitching staff moving forward, because I think that's
the biggest difference in performance than expectations at this point.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
So hello, sorry, I'm talking to Ron Francis. Oh you
got you got pushed aside for a second. Sorry, bring
him on, let's go. No, he's he's he's got he's
with like important people. Oh it's he walked. Yeah, it's
it's the press. Yeah. I heard what you're saying, though. Yes,
he was asking about he wasn't asking about the Emmy's
on Saturday. Uh, Kraken got an Emmy on Saturday for

(07:43):
in game. We didn't win for pre game, but they
got one for game. So one of us is a
two time nominee, a two time loser, and that'd be
the guy you're talking to right now. Okay, yeah, congrats
to the progressor Ryan Shaber and Pat Brown, foresln ed
z O j T. Piper, everybody except for Ian and
Allison and Festering.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Basically, that's what it sounds like.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Two time loser.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Oh god.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
And you know what's funny, as you're talking about Saturday,
we're we're kind of glancing at our phones during this
long ass ceremony, which you know, just goes on and on.
I'm like, okay, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Look at the mollywop chat.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it was all right, Well,
let's without further ado, let's get to them. Let's get
let's get to the Mully whoppers. They're standing by, probably
angry at the world. At least one of them will be.
Chris is usually a little more. How is Chris the
I didn't hear the postcast on Saturday? How was he?

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, I was not not pretty because that was the
five in a row at that point. Yeah, Julio getting injured,
it looked bad. At that point, I thought we were
going to see him kind of be out for a while.
But he ends up being able to play the next day.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
So that was crazy, right, because it looked it did
look bad for a minute. It did look bad. All right,
that's Andrews. I mean, we'll get check in with the
Mully Whoppers. Nathan and Chris are coming up.

Speaker 7 (09:04):

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Seeing what you were just telling me, just came in as.

at checkout with our good friends at Simply Seattle, and gentlemen,
we do have breaking news to start right off the
get go. We knew this was coming. We were waiting

(10:00):
to see what we thought would be the corresponding move.
It is the corresponding move. Yes, breaking news from Low
Sparre and Arrows Seattle Renders. Executive vice president and general
manager of Baseball Operations Justin Hollander announced today the following
roster moves. The favorite of one Nathan Bition Dominic Canzone

(10:22):
recalled from Tacoma. The corresponding roster move we hardly knew yet.
Leote Tavarus d f A. So he's in the df
he's in the DFA portal. He's going to wave hide
to Casey Lawrence, who's been there eighteen times this year already.

(10:43):
And with that, after a one and five week and
help is on the way and the form of dominic Canzone,
we've got our whole crew here, Andrews. I'm not going
to read what your thing says on your stream yard.
But Nathan, Yeah, Nathan is just Nathan. And then Melton
in Shelton sixty nine. That would be our guy, Chris Crawford,

(11:07):
is it warm? And Shelton right now? Help me out.
I'm in a hockey rink right now. It's actually very pleasant.

Speaker 8 (11:12):
I'm dying.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
That's it. The shortest answer from Chris Crawford ever.

Speaker 9 (11:21):
It could have been the team too.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, well, let's get right to it then. I will, Oh, Andrew,
did you find the other thing I asked for?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Not yet, I'm looking at the log right now. I'll
let you know what I get.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
It, what the I'll give you time. It would have
been no hold on nine twenty ish. I think something
like that. I was just mentioned to the like, you
guys it's big time now, Like somehow, some way management
has decided to accept you too. I don't know how
or why. When I did this, when I did my

(11:55):
show in Portland rather Salt Lake called Area fifty one
because literally man management would not acknowledge us, kind of
ignored us, thought we didn't exist, and we had an
open that says, yeah, they don't exist. This is a
show that we don't endorse. Really for the last since

(12:15):
twenty twenty one, that's kind of been this show. And
I'm driving along today after having people reach out to
me all week and say, Ian, it's a at that point,
oh and five week ends up being a one in
five week, you are malu wopping Monday. No, there's a
crack and press conference in all that. You guys are
having the boys on Monday. And I said yes, and

(12:36):
so much so that I heard this this morning.

Speaker 7 (12:39):
It's Mullywop Monday with Ian Forness join him today and
what with Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop where they take
a hard swing at the Mariners. Brought to you by
Simply Seattle. Mullywop Monday on Sports Radio and NTTY three
point three KJR FM.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
You know, when you're a critically acclaimed show, oh without
a lot of commercial success, and people just really kind
of want to push you to the side, you end
up going to Netflix. That's kind of what I look
like with Molly Water. And now all of a sudden,
the Big Network, the Big Network says we need to
promote these guys. We need to tell people when they're
coming on.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
We get the big Vic Orlando voice.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Let's Go is massive for us.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Any time I hear my name in that guy's coming
out of that guy's mouth, I get super excited.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Pretty cool.

Speaker 8 (13:26):
That all I've ever wanted for basically my entire life.
So that's fine. I will say, we take a hard
fair swing at the Seattle America.

Speaker 6 (13:35):
We're not just a bitches. We're not just tagging at bitches.
We take a hard, fair swing.

Speaker 9 (13:40):
We are seeing the z.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Most do. So let's start with you, Chris Crawford. Today.
We'll get to our cleanup hit in a second opening
statement for the one to five week.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
Because I just want to give you one stat. I
just want to give you one stat and then I'm
gonna let Nathan un Chris.

Speaker 8 (13:59):
This is from the stats.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Oh you thought I was gonna eat that. I'll give
that sat at the end of great But it does
involve cal Rawley. So over the last fifteen games coming
into Sunday, cal Rawley had ten homers over the last
fifteen game and no other Seattle Mariner had more than one.
Cal Raley has driven in twenty runs over the last
fifteen games. No other Seattle Mariner has more than five.

(14:23):
Would you guys like to guess how many other MLB
players have had that statistic?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm gonna get zero.

Speaker 8 (14:30):
Oh, it's zero. It's zero, baby.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
It is the first time anyone has ever had that.

Speaker 8 (14:36):
In the history.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
And oh, by the way, the Seattle Mariners went four
and eleven in those games. We talk a lot about
wasting performances. We talked all year last year about wasting
the starting pitching of the Seattle Mariners. The year before that,
we talked about mostly the starting pitching, but wasting Julio
Rodriguez having an MVP season for a lot of that year.

(14:57):
Now we're literally talking about wasting one the most historical
seasons of all time. And as fun as Sunday was,
and Anders and I had a lot of fun on
the postcost talking about how that's all we have to
talk about today, we just get to talk about it. Well,
now I have to do this stupid show that apparently
has promotion behind it now and talking about how crappy
the Seattle Mariners have been as a blake and it's

(15:19):
not good enough. It's not good enough. But I will
give that one stat that Andrews doesn't want me to give.
Mariners are two and oh when cal Raley doesn't start.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Not my m VP, just the fact hard to be
in the m VP conversation when your team has a
perfect record when you don't play.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
It really is, guys, it's a joke. I know the
thing is gonna be taken out of hyperbole.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's a joke. Jokes on this show, Nathan, You're open
for the week. People have been waiting for this.

Speaker 9 (15:53):
Uh well, Chris took the I was gonna cite that
catat but uh yeah, so it's you know, what's a
real shame. I think I joked last week that cal
Rawley is doing Felix Hernanda's butt for hitting. And again
that's not a joke, that's just a fact. And that's
kind of in line with what Chris was saying, but
then something I've been thinking about before this week, and
I feel like we've kind I've kind of gotten the

(16:14):
win taken out of my sales because I feel like
every time I'm about ready to let loose on these guys,
they like win two out of three or something right
before we go on here. Well, they didn't do that
this past week. This roster sucks, guys. It's very, very bad,
and it was built to be bad. And the thing
that I was wondering was are the Seattle Mariners underperforming
their talent level? And you go look at this roster

(16:34):
and it's like, on this positional side.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Who is underperforming?

Speaker 9 (16:38):
Who's giving you significantly less than you think that you
should be expecting to get from them from when you
came into the season and you were getting right around
what you thought you could get from Julio right around.
He's having a better year than he was last year.
You're getting a big bounce back from JP Crawford. You're
getting maybe slight underperformance from Randia Rosarina, but it's very
much within the range of what he's been over the

(16:58):
course of his career. You're getting, as Chris just said,
one of the greatest seasons of all time from Cal
Rawly and you're just crapping the bed everywhere.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
And why is it?

Speaker 9 (17:08):
Because literally, those guys I just named are the only
people that deserve to be regularly in a Major League
Baseball lineup, on this entire roster.

Speaker 8 (17:16):
And we just called up what what are our answers?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Now?

Speaker 9 (17:18):
What are these brain geniuses that have had a decade
to build this thing going to do. They're gonna recall
Dom Canzone. They're gonna eat three and a half million
dollars with Leoti taveries for playing for two months. They're
gonna spend at least that much money again having to
reinforce the wall at T Mobile Park before Dom goes
slamming into it for the eighteenth time. I have no
idea what the plan is here. There's nothing that's going

(17:41):
and you're seeing whenever they promote these guys from the
PCL and this is not a shot at these young guys.
This is not a shot at Ben Williamson, this is
not a shot at Cole Young or even Dom Canzone.
But you're hearing them whisper about Harry Ford as well.
The jump from the PCL to MLB is huge. It
is massive, and you were seeing guys like Cole Young
have to adapt to something they have never come close

(18:03):
to experiencing before. It is not Not only is it,
as Chris said, not good enough, it is hilariously far
from good enough.

Speaker 8 (18:12):
They need three.

Speaker 9 (18:13):
Four quality Major League baseball players to have an actual
baseball team, and it's going to just come down to
the same thing that we've been talking about for the
last four years. Holy crap. I sure hope, and you
saw it yesterday.

Speaker 10 (18:26):
Holy crap.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
I hope this.

Speaker 9 (18:27):
Rotation gets healthy enough that they can carry this garbage
roster in this horrible division, in the worst American league
we've seen in a decade to like the second or
third wild Card with like eighty four or eighty five wins.
This sucks, man. I am so tired of watching this
crap and having to talk about it like this with
you guys. As easy as it is for me to do,
I do not enjoy it. I just want a really

(18:49):
good baseball team for once to root for, and it's
not even close. It's so frustrating. Sorry, that's it.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
I love it. No, And I think you speak for
a lot of America, and I get that. I think
what we're what we're seeing is where it was really
solid early, right and things were going well. The regression
back to the norm and to to to what it was,
to what we would expect offensively, I want to I'm
glad you brought up Harry Ford for a second, because yeah,

(19:17):
because I want to get I want to get back
to that in the next segment, guys, because I and
I want to get Chris's thoughts on that and lean
on him because I've got it. I'm roster construction at
this point is hard. But you know, with the regression
of Polanck on some of the things, I'm gonna throw
something you guys the next segment, let's let we'll let's
go with glass half full just for a second, and
Chris will start with George Kirby. Ye, and as bad

(19:38):
as last week was and as bad as this team
is offensively, they are going to have to do what
we thought they were gonna have to do, and that's relying.
They're starting pitching. Yeah, we know what the injuries and
and some inconsistencies. It hasn't been what we would hope,
but the first two stars h but command was eh,
but boy, like it's like, Okay, you got your first

(19:59):
two shorting starts out of the way, George, look at
you yesterday.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Yeah, that was really impressive. That was probably the most
impressive I've seen.

Speaker 8 (20:08):
Kirby.

Speaker 6 (20:08):
Anders and I were kind of debating whether it was
that start against Houston in the wild card in the
Alds round or if it was that start, and I
think it was probably this one. I rewatched it last
night because I had nothing better to do, and again,
I'm dying from melting, so I might as well watch
something that's fun to watch while you are dying and melting.
His command was so good, and that was the issue.

(20:29):
Like those first few starts, I had no issues with
George Kirby's stuff. The slider looked good, the velocity was good.
He just couldn't locate anything. He located everything minus one pitch,
one mistake to Taylor Ward. And oh thank god, they
score two runs, so that start isn't wasted. Oh thank goodness,
gracious that they had come back and win that game,

(20:50):
because boy, that would have just been such a hard
way in the week. You know, But those fourteen strikeouts,
I didn't even realize he had fourteen strikes.

Speaker 8 (21:00):
He was that efficient.

Speaker 6 (21:01):
Like he was throwing so many strikes and I kept
looking at the side thing.

Speaker 8 (21:05):
He's like, oh, he's up to eighty four. I think
that they could probably get him seven.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
And then they show this thing on the scoreboard saying
that he has fourteen strikeouts, and I was like, what
in the world it is normally fourteen strikeouts. You're talking
one hundred and fifteen, one hundred and twenty pitches. To
have that many strikeouts and only throw ninety six pitches
is insane. And he threw sixty nine nice strikes to
able to get that done. This is just this is

(21:30):
what they need. They need George Kirby to be that
upper echelon starter, and they're gonna need Luis Castillo to
be in that upper echialon. They're gonna need Logan Gilbert
when he comes back and I don't know, twenty twenty
eight or so.

Speaker 8 (21:42):
To be that type of guy. They need this starting pitching.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
They are going to win baseball games because of their
elite starting pitching and hopefully very good run prevention. The
offense isn't gonna be the thing that carries him as
much as Nathan, Like, you know, Nathan's right, They do
need three or four more hitters.

Speaker 8 (21:58):
That's not gonna happen. So they better be.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Elite at pitching, an elite at run prevention if they
have any chance to win this division.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Nathan Kirby was great, and then we saw, you know,
when he's on, maybe the best, most dominant closer in
the game as well, throwing the slider that is unhittable
most of the time too. So we did see that
like that gives us a little glimmer, does it not?

Speaker 9 (22:23):
Yeah, I was thinking watching George pitching. I think part
of the reason why the strikeout snuck up is because
so many of them were looking, which is a testament
to his command. He had seven called third strikes last night,
and most of them were just that running two seamer
that just nixy outside or inside corner out of play.
Is such a beautiful pitch to watch. I earnestly don't
think I can recall off the top of my head.

(22:45):
Chris has a better memory than I do. The last
time a Seattle Mariners started threw a start that good.
It was incredible. It was vintage Felix Hernandez at his
absolute peak, reincarnated in George Kirby. So part of why
I'm so frustrated that I had to go on that
ran a couple of minutes ago, is because we can't
lead with that. We can't lead with George Kirby and

(23:05):
Cal Rawley being so amazing, And it's exactly to that point.
I just I don't know if the rotation is going
to quite come together in the way that we're all
hoping it's going to come.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
I still bry Miller, Bryce Miller, is that's a concern, right,
Like they have to be. There's really we can't keep
just sweeping out of the rug and saying there's no
big deal, like that's a concern. Has to be a concern.

Speaker 9 (23:28):
Yeah, Logan Gilbert is pushed back for another rehab start.
It sounded like he didn't actually look one hundred percent
in his last start. That injury is going to be
something that's going to be in the back of my
mind for the entire rest of the year.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
So it's it's.

Speaker 9 (23:42):
Gonna need to be. Brian wou George Kirby, and Luis
Castill are a great start to a major league rotation,
and with anything resembling competence on the other side of
the ball, it would be an easy shoeing to get
a real good playoff team in place, But we just
don't have that here. So they're gonna need Logan and
or Bryce to come back and be good, and they're
gonna need what we saw from George. You're not gonna

(24:02):
see that every five days, but something closer to that
than the first two starts at JAS need to see
on the regular real quick.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
On Bryce Miller, I would I have said that his
next inning should be in Tacoma. If it's not in Tacoma,
they seriously need to consider having an opener before Bryce Miller,
to have something where he's throwing three to four innings
and not relying on him to give you those five
or six. Have somebody opening in front of Bryce Miller
so that it's less pressure on him, because just watching

(24:32):
him pitch right now is hard because it's nowhere close
to the same stuff as twenty twenty four or twenty
twenty three, not even close. So if you can limit
those innings and limit those amount of times through the
rotation or through the batting lineup, excuse me. I think
that's something the Seattle Mariners seriously need to consider. But
there's also no harm in sending him into Coma and
getting right either.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Chris Crawford Nathan Bishop molliwap Monday brought to my simply
Seattle simply sail dot com mulliwap fifteen at check out
through the website WOP fifteen. You get a fifteen percent
discount every day using our discounts. Sometimes have more of
twenty percent. Sometimes pops up there on the website too,
so you go check it out. Chris all joking aside,
why can Zone and why DFA Tavaris.

Speaker 6 (25:16):
Clearly hey didn't love what they saw from Leodi defensively
and offensively, and they still have a they still have
a fondness. I almost said a really bad word there
for Canzone's power, the ability to hit the ball over
the fence, and they you know, he does have elite power,

(25:37):
like the raw power, competes with a lot of players.
His ability he to get to that power while also
being a below average defensive player makes this a pretty
questionable move for me.

Speaker 8 (25:48):
I know he's been.

Speaker 6 (25:49):
Doing really well in Tacoma, and I know that Jerry
Depoto really wants to win that trade, so I understand
why we are seeing that move. I will be surprised
if dom end Zone is anything more than an up
and down player for the rest of his life. But
I gotta be honest with you. As much as I
like the Leoti Tavares move, it was free, it was
worth a look. I can't say I'm super disappointed to

(26:12):
see him off the roster.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Let me let me take you a quick pause, Nathan Andrews,
Are you okay? I just want to check on you. No, No,
I keep seeing your hands over your face, shaking the head,
nodding down. I don't know. You just want to This
is a wellness check on you, buddy. I mean, I
know you're a huge Dylan Moore fan and everything. So
as I see on your your screen there, are you okay?

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Well, you brought up a point last segment that that
I didn't even think about. We saw what could happen
when Julio gets injured. Who now plays center field? If
he doesn't, I'm kid.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Zone, Oh boy, that would be seriously though, I'm not
actually been doing in Tacoma.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
Has he really been playing center?

Speaker 10 (26:50):
I have do it?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
You cowards.

Speaker 9 (26:53):
We got a we got a Mike Morris, Jason Bay and.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Wait, did you just throw a micro horse out? Did
you just sow Mike Morse out, is he gonna like,
let's do it? Is Ken Zone gonna have his shoulder
explode on a on a routine fly ball like Morse did?

Speaker 9 (27:08):
Jacksonnzick just needed time to implement a system. Let's get
Dominic ken Zone out in center field and let it rip.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Wasn't that the mors thon? What did he did? He like?
He was a routine play, right and he and his career.
I shouldn't joke about it, but basically he shrudded his
shoulder on a routine play, did he not? Because he
never really played outfield?

Speaker 7 (27:26):
That not.

Speaker 9 (27:29):
Very possible.

Speaker 6 (27:31):
All I remember is that Mike Morse was the most
obvious steroid person I've ever seen in my entire life.
Like he went from looking like anders to looking like
a bodybuilder.

Speaker 8 (27:41):
All due respect to Andrew.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Come on here, so you're saying, I like, basically, be okay,
I get a your build. All right, we'll take a break.
Come back. I'm gonna bring up the Harry Ford thing
in a second. I'm gonna throw an idea at you
guys and tell me if this is because because roster
can truction the offense needing help, I'll throw something at

(28:05):
you that I'll probably get laughed at, I'll probably get shunned.
And next week Andrews will be hosting this segment instead
of me. Great because you guys will refuse to come
on with me again. But I'm gonna throw that at you.
Coming up next, Malli wat Monday continues on nine three
point three KJFM.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
On casting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist
Broadcast Studio. Now back to Ian Fornez powered by Seattle's
Close to the Sports Book Snow Call Me Casino on
Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Molliwat Monday continues, writ you if by simply say ittle
simply Saalele dot com, Nathan and Chrisser. Here, Lane Lambert,
head coach of the Seattle Crack and first sit down
with an interview with us coming up today at two pm.
Looking forward to sitting now Lane Lambert for the first
time face to face again. That's coming up in about
thirteen minutes time. All right, let me let me throw
something at you. Guys, raise your hand, whoever wants to
take this first? Once I do it, Jorge Polonco is

(29:02):
our topic for a second. Over the last twenty eight days,
so four weeks he is this is his line one
fifty nine average, two oh five on base percentage, slugging
at two seventeen is ops is four twenty three. Had
a better week last week sort of two eighty six
three eighteen three thirty three six fifty two, but the

(29:24):
previous week must have been just got awful because his
last two weeks one seventy nine, two hundred two five
four oh five. You get the point. Jorge Polanco is
really struggling right now. Would you be better off, Chris Crawford.
Would you be better off calling up Harry Ford as
your backup catcher and getting Mitch Garber some more at
bats right now?

Speaker 6 (29:46):
At DH huh boy, that's a really good question. By
the way, I did not raise my hand. I was
gonna let Nathan dude, either one of.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
You did, like just for the records, so our listeners
know neither one of you guys raise your hand. When
I said I.

Speaker 9 (29:58):
Thought he wanted it, I'm sorry. I didn't want to.
I didn't want to take the mic away from Anders.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
And if I'm being completely honest with you, I'm still
thinking about two punters on the top fifty for the Seahawks.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
But I will go ahead with this question as well.

Speaker 6 (30:10):
I don't think that they would be better off in
that regard.

Speaker 8 (30:14):
I will tell you where.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
I think they might be better off is, and I
know Mitch Garver had a pretty decent day yesterday.

Speaker 8 (30:20):
Is designating Mitch.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
Garver for assignment and having Harry Ford take his spot
on the roster.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
I'm just cut ties with Garver period. Y just cut
tied with Garver period.

Speaker 8 (30:31):
The swing and I talked about this again.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
I'll keep promoting the postcast because that's what I'm going
to but I talked about it that yesterday was the
first time where I felt like he actually took full swings,
which is an encouraging thing. But there's just so much
defensive hacks there that I don't think he's comfortable playing
baseball right now outside of catching, which is a weird
thing to say. He's basically become a defense first catcher

(30:55):
for the Seattle Mariners, and they don't need a defense
first catcher. They have the defense in cal Ralely, Oh, who,
by the way, is putting up those type of offensive numbers.
But I've actually been encouraged with what Polanco has shown
me over the last week And I think the reason
I'm encouraged is I have to give some credit to
Dan Wilson here where he has had Polanco play through this,

(31:15):
because I think one of the biggest issues with Polanco
was he was getting so much time off between playing
time that he wasn't comfortable getting out on the field.
Like he just didn't look like he's a creature of
habit who, when healthy, has been an everyday player. Well,
he wasn't even close to. He was the definition of
the platoon player. Over the last week, the fact that

(31:36):
they're actually having him play every day, I've been really
encouraged by what I've seen from Polanco. He just got
underneath a fastball yesterday. It was the first time I
thought he actually had a chance to hit a homer
in a while. I think the ultimate move here, though,
is and I know you want to get Harry Ford
as much reps as possible if you believe he is
the catcher of the future.

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Blah blah blah. Harry Ford, I think makes the Seattle
my own is better than Mitch Garver.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Does Nathan, do you want to anything that or should
we move on to another topic? Uh?

Speaker 9 (32:06):
Well, I just want to want to counterpoint that with
it may be more. I think that it's you can
make an argument that it makes the team marginally better
if you do that one for one swap with the
acknowledgment that you have absolutely no idea how Harry Ford
is going to hit.

Speaker 8 (32:20):
He's a far better, far better athlete.

Speaker 9 (32:22):
The broader concern for me is is is that the
best thing for Harry Ford's career to come up and
immediately be a part time player, because that's not how
you break into the major leagues as somebody in a
small role. You want to be playing every single day.
So that's all that I would say about that. I
don't think that it would be a big enough upgrade
in my instinct to say it makes it worth it.
But it'd be amusing to watch this team continue to

(32:43):
shed money and eat all of the money that they
spent so that they could save on Robbie Ray's contract
in Ajohania Suarez contract. Yeah, that would be very funny.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
So let me let me stop right there, because that's
my segue. No heart, how hard will it be when
he hits three home runs over the next three days,
he'll strike out nine times as well, He'll strike out
nine times, but they'll hit three bombs, two of which
will be like significant. There'll be good vibes all the

(33:10):
way around. You'll see a guy that's beloved by his
teammates in the dugout and on the field, a leader
on and off the field. Nathan, Can you go try
to get? Would you would? Would you put an effort
into it? In all seriousness? Should they go out and
try to get a guy with whose team is probably
going to be out of it here very soon if
they're not already in geno?

Speaker 9 (33:26):
Absolutely absolutely, and not in putting inside all of the
how funny it would be, and it would you know,
give me at least three or four columns at the
light bat where I could just make plum Jerry for it.
But it would make this baseball team better immediately. And
that's not trying to dog on Ben Williamson, who does
have attributes that make him worth playing from time to time,
but the offensive difference is completely night and day, and

(33:49):
this team needs major league hitters. And Ben Williamson might
be a major leaguer at some point in his career,
but he is not going to do it with his bat.
It's just not going to be what.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
He's gonna do.

Speaker 9 (33:59):
So I would absolutely bring Aohene Suarez back, and with
the understanding that I wouldn't expect him to be what
he was here in Seattle. I think he's on the decline.
He's pretty boom or an always boomer bus skill set
is getting extremely boomier and bustier as he ages. But
I still think it'd be a huge improvement and it
would be a huge hit in the clubhouse. Yeah, a

(34:22):
guy is so beloved and so respected there that I
think it'd be a win for the team. I'd love
to see them do it.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
The only reason that I wouldn't do this right now
is that I just happen to be talking to some
folks that are pretty close to the Arizona Diamondback organization.
His defense looks bad, like really bad, and ah Suarez
was once one of the better defensive players at third base.
It would be a massive drop in defensive production now
it would also be a massive upgrade and offensive production,

(34:51):
so it maybe washes out a little bit, but I
would be a little bit concerned there and I would
want to have like I was just taking a look
at the numbers and talking to some folks Suarez is
way down there in third base rankings right now, and
he is not a spring chicken. This is not a
guy who is in year five or six. He's been
playing baseball for a while. If the Mariners feel super

(35:11):
comfortable with the glove and acknowledging that the vibe improvement
would just be massive. Aohennio Suarez is just one of
those dudes that everybody loves, except for maybe Jerry Depoto
for some reason. Aohenno Saz would be a good get.
But I will warn you that there would be a
significant defensive downgrade right now for the Seattle Mariners because

(35:33):
Ben Williamson has been playing third base at a super
high level right now, and Aohis Suarez is not.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Nathan did you want to hit on a Seahawks segment
or something?

Speaker 5 (35:43):
What was this?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
I'm looking at the chat.

Speaker 9 (35:44):
Oh, well, we were just having a good time with
the Seahawks Top fifty Players of All Time list, and
we were we were entertained by the fact that there
are infinity number of punters on there, more than there
is Russell o'uns, which is just a funny, a funny
thing to do since I'm pretty sure one of the guys,
was really really, really really important for the team for.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
A long time.

Speaker 9 (36:04):
And we love our we love our punters, but they're
not that important. Sorry, Chris's in your thunder.

Speaker 6 (36:09):
Yeah, two punters and two fullbacks, you know, Russell Kuon
makes no sense to me.

Speaker 8 (36:13):
Whatsoever?

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Did Rick Route and Tooton make the list?

Speaker 6 (36:15):
No, but I have an autographed poster of Rick Tooton
that I'm staring at right now.

Speaker 8 (36:20):
So that's really fun.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
That's that's crazy. Okay, maybe it's not. Actually it really is,
all right, let's uh. The shameless self promotion part of
the project is underway now. Nathan Bishop tell us about
the light Bat.

Speaker 9 (36:36):
Yeah, check out my substack the light Bat dot substack
dot com two posts per week. Additionally, some podcasts sprinkled
in and there there's a formerly columnist while a someone
who's on leave with the Seattle Times right now, who
I don't think is allowed on these air waves. It
is later this month, so it should be a good time.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
The soon to be retired publisher does not like us,
even though the people he doesn't like don't work here anymore.
But it was involved, its involved in a sting operation.
But apparently we all pay the price.

Speaker 9 (37:06):
Okay, I've got in the station. Now they're doing promos
about me. You want me to throw my weight around
a little bit?

Speaker 8 (37:10):
You could.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, you are kind of a big deal, happy to help,
very big deal. Uh, mister postcast, mister Emerald City Spectrum,
Rotal World, et cetera. Fire away, I think you just did.

Speaker 6 (37:20):
But I work for NBC Sports, I work for Emerald
City Spectrum, I work for Locked on Sports. Please check
those out. Also, please follow Maya y I'm gonna be
doing more stuff there as well. It's been kind of
hard because of some health stuff, and again I appreciate
all the support that has gone into that, but yeah,
please follow all of that stuff, and please every single
Mariner game, Me and Andrews are breaking it down sometimes

(37:43):
having mostly.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Said yeah, locked on postcast after Marror game just fantastic,
especially in the flag Ship Television station doesn't really do
postgame anymore. So, uh, go to listen to those guys.
It's great, it's great breakdown. It's a ton of fun.
Your Emerald City Spectrum story on that ran I guess
Saturday early Sunday Chris was awesome than I and I subscribed.
I got the annual subscription to Emeralcy Spectrum. I was

Speaker 7 (40:05):
On testing live from the R and R Foundation specialist
Rod Jazz Studio. Now back to ian Forness foundered by
Seattle's closest sports book, Snow Call Me Casino on Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.

Speaker 11 (40:25):
The attention to detail, you know that, the emphasis on
that sort of thing in order to win hockey games.
That was something for me coming from Edmonton that I
didn't really understand or get. I credit them, both of
them really to helping me really become a better two
hundred foot hockey player, and obviously we had some success there.
So I've always respected in him and that's a big

(40:49):
reason why he's such a great coach. So I was
I was very, very excited when I said, when I
heard the news.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
That is Seattle Kraken captain Jordan Eberley talking about the
new hit coach for your Seattle Cracking, Lane Lambert, who
was an assistant coach along with Barry Trotz, who kind
of referred to them Barry Trotz as well before and
really helped his career. And speaking to Lane Lambert, welcome
back in and in front of us with you with
a thirty two bar and grill cracking community ice Plex
and for the first time here on ninety three point
three k FM, You're home for the Cracking on the

(41:15):
radio during the season. Lane Lambert is joining us. Hello
and congratulations. How are you.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
I'm doing I'm doing awesome. Yeah, thank you, thanks for
that congratulatory note, but certainly excited.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
What a what a fun day you get. I know,
you got to meet with the staff today, you got
to you met with the media here today. Your second
goal round as a head coach, but in the NHL,
not your second goal round as a head coach. Overall.
I'm gonna get all that in a second, but I
just I love seeing this. We mentioned off the air,
my mom was born in Moosejaw. You're from swift Current
Speedy Creek because we used to call her going up
there and the little rink up there. And from the

(41:50):
Prairies to Saskatchewan to your second head coaching job in
the NHL. What a journey.

Speaker 5 (41:54):
Yeah, no, it really has been. You know, you sit
there and sometimes you're you're sitting there and you're you're going, well,
came from Melford, Sascatch and born in Melford, Sascatche.

Speaker 10 (42:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
Well no, but I I I was in Swift Current
for most of my minor hockey. Yeah, but born in Melford.
Jaden Schwartz is born in Melford. By the way, both
of us and you know, hockey has given me everything,
and uh, you know you you earn what you get,
but certainly, uh, what a great.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Life you Uh you mentioned this to our press conference.
We carried it a lot, but I want to kind
of go back a little bit. It's a two way street.
For a coach to get hired. You have to as
the potential candidate, want to come to an organization. At
the same time, they have to want you. We know
that they wanted you. We had Jason bott Roll on
last week. You talked about your attributes. What attracted Lane

(42:45):
Lambert to the Seattle Cracking.

Speaker 5 (42:47):
Uh, well, you know the moment I came here a
couple of weeks ago and I sat down and Samantha
Halloway was there, and Jason and Ron and probably within
about the first five minutes. Just it's about the people.
For me, it's about this organization. You could tell right

(43:08):
off the bat that was first class. You could tell
right off the bat. You know that everything they wanted
to do was designed to try and win. And when
we got into the player personnel's side of it and
looked at the the you know, the lines and the
defensemen and all the youth that's coming here. You know,

(43:29):
on their way, you know at some point as we
go along. It was just an exciting opportunity for me.
It's a team for me that is deep in terms of,
you know, in terms of we can have a four
lane hockey team that can go at people in waves.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
This is two years ago. They're a playoff team. The
last two years they took a step back. That's why
you're here, the third guy in three years. But I
wanted to ask you about that roster a little bit.
I think most of the time you hear in the
night you want to build a team in the middle,
like center icepin In fact, this year like that, you
look and you know everyone's coming center ice been throughout
the league. This team's got Chandler, Stevenson, Shane right, Maddy

(44:05):
Banier's one, two, three, uh number four up for debate.
But when you have one, two and three and whatever
order you want to have, when you've got defenceman on
the back end, five six guys ma herz Re signed,
Ryker restricted, assuming he's back, you've got six seven guys
back there assaulted and the true number one maybe even
one A with the Court and Grubauer, it's a pretty
good place to start.

Speaker 5 (44:25):
Isn't it.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
It is a very good place to start.

Speaker 5 (44:27):
Yeah, And that was the exciting part for me, is
you know, when, like I say, when we were looking
at the the the lines and the dp airs and
the goal tending, you know, they're.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
The pieces to the puzzle so to speak.

Speaker 5 (44:40):
You know, and the fact that you know the the
centerman you know, I know Chandler, I coach Chandler and
they live by growing up Yeah he did, yeah, right
beside me. But uh, you know, and then and then
you've got Maddie and you've got Shane, young guys that
are just going to continue to get better and grow.
There's no question championship teams are built built up the middle.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
How far away is this team I'm not saying to
the hoisted Cup, but like, how far are they when
you've looke because you've obviously done the deep dive into
the personnel going through the process. How far away is
this team from being the playoff team of two years
ago and was frankly a really hard conference.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
Yeah, no, it's it's not that far away, you know.
But at the same time, the process, you know, has
to be put in place, and everybody's got to be
on the same page with the with the team first mentality,
and that's my job. My job is to you know,
to present that, to hold them accountable to that, and

(45:38):
eventually they hold each other accountable and take ownership of that.
But you know I'm looking at it right now is
let's just start and start from day one. Let's get
better every day and come, you know, February March. Let's
be in that conversation.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Laye Lambert, new head coach of the Crack and joining
us here from the Cracker community. I plas thirty two
part grill the team itself as we look at it,
and just the philosophy how you want to coach. Let
me take us back into the coaching role for a second,
and that is from this standpoint. You've been a head
coach in the dub in the American League, You've been

(46:14):
a head coach in the NHL. What's different about Lane
Lambert now than when you were in Moose Jaw or
in the IHL or HL, or even in the NHL
with the Islanders a couple of years ago.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
Experience, I've seen quite a bit, seen quite a bit more,
you know in Prince George when I was head coaching there,
it was like, well, this is a new thing here
right at the s's a whole different world anyway, Well
it is.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
It is.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
The bus rides were tough up there, but you know
it's Lane Lambert as a coach is completely different than
he was, you know, way back in the early two thousands.
I think there's a better understanding of not only the game,
but but even even a better understanding of the importance
of communication, communication with your players and making sure that

(47:04):
everybody you know as a role feels part of it,
because at the end of the day, that's how you win,
and that's how teams win, as if everybody's contributing.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Do you think as a as an ex player and
playing two hundred and eighty three games in the NHL
and then playing in the IHL for a lot of
years as well, you had an HL stint a couple
of times over so and played in Europe. I mean,
you've you've played a lot of hockey as a player.
How much does that help you not just because there's
some guys you know, if you see if you're an

(47:34):
NHL or and a star in the NHL, maybe you
don't relate as well. You went through the grind, you
grind it at the end. You hung on for a
lot of years playing and you know, I mean, now
I can say I can say this, Houston is not
the worst place to play. I called games. I called
your game. I've been talking to Lane before and I
called your games. I'm aging both of us right now
when I was in IHL. But you've been through a
lot of things as a player. Does that help your

(47:55):
communication with guys?

Speaker 5 (47:56):
It does? You know? To your point, I've I've played
at every level and I've played over in Europe. It
helped my communication with European players. Yeah, you know, and
I know what it's like over there. I've been there,
I've lived it, and so I can relate to them
just just through experiences alone.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Is it difference. I've never asked this to day, but
how different is the European player from the North American player?

Speaker 5 (48:25):
Not overly different now? You know, maybe back years ago,
you know they were, but you know, I don't think
there's that much difference now. I mean, there's so much
hockey to be played by. You know, the young young players,
the under sixteens, the under eighteens, the world juniors, and

(48:45):
you know, they're all over the place, and and and
you know, you get situations where players are training with
each other, you know, whether it be at Gary Roberts
in Toronto or whatever. You know, my nephew is is
a Finnish kid. My brothers is finished and he's he
was drafted thirtieth by Winnipeg. So there's another European kid

(49:06):
who you know, you don't think of a finished name
as Brad Lambert, but but he is a finish a
finished player. So I think nowadays not so much, not
as not as much. I think the relationship or the
you know me relating to them is is just the
you know, the geography more so than than the game
of hockey itself. I think, uh players are pretty dialed

(49:26):
into how NHL hockey is played.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Let me ask you about the coaching staff. Some changes already.
You're gonna have to bring a new goal tending coach,
someone new on the penalty kill as well, which is
what you worked on. So I'm sure you'll have keen
interest waiting to see about the power play coach and
as well. Jessica Campbell is coming back and there's been
a lot of talk about that. What was that process, like,
what do they tell you about Jess, and I mean,
she was a trailblazer last year, but what they tell

(49:49):
you about her role and and and her role on
the staff.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Well, you know there was there wasn't a lot of
discussion about her role or her role on the staff
what I did and and that's the nice thing about
coming into you know, you you heard Jason say in
the press conference that you know, Ron and I had
to get to know Lane. We didn't know each other.
You know, I come in with no preconceived notions on anybody,

(50:13):
whether it be players or coaches or whatever. And so
you know, my first call was to to Jess and
I had an incredible conversation with her. You know, her knowledge,
her passion, that all rang through to me. And uh,
you know, so for me, that was that wasn't a
you know, my conversation with her was the determining factor, uh,

(50:37):
from that standpoint with other with without any you know,
any parameters. And you know, she's done a great job,
done a great job in Coachella. Velli, done a great
job last year and certainly you know the Maddy Beeniers
of the World and Shane Writes and those guys, she's
done a great job of working with those guys. So uh,
in our coaching search right now, you know, and and

(50:59):
you we have essentially one chance to get it right.
And we're looking at some people and my job is
to put people in the right positions so that they
can have success. And when the coaches have success, so
do the players. So that's what we're in the process
of doing right now. We're going to make some decisions,
you know, in the near future.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Lene Lambert with us. The perception of this team, in
this organization, You personally had a different because you came
in and met with them, but from the outside looking
at whether, I mean, there's a really important time coming
up a free agency the first of July. Maybe as
important would be ourfas and trade and the trades that
could happen during the draft weekend the end of June
as well. What's the perception around the league about this

(51:42):
organization playing here in Seattle? And I want to just
tell our listeners. We had a the news conference day
in the players Lounge, which I don't think we've been
down there maybe much before. Spectacular setting, this aread of
this complex is spectacular. Not every place in the league.
Thirty two teams has this. Our friends up north three
hours don't have anything, for example. So what's the perception
of this place.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
Well, from an outsider, you know, and and haven't been
in the in the Eastern Conference and only seeing this
team twice a year, the you know, my perception was,
you know, this is a team that you know, a
couple of years ago, was was a good team, was
a structured team. You know, the facilities, the ownership, all

(52:30):
that stuff. I didn't have any any perception because I
didn't know. And it's this has really opened my eyes
coming in here. And I mean it when I say
in the first few minutes of conversation this really this
really affected me. And and and this is where I
wanted to be. And and then from there it's just

(52:51):
we're looking at how first class everything is. You know,
we're sitting here looking at the practice rink in this restaurant,
and you know, everything is, everything is done right. And
you know, I'm excited to be here. I'm excited to
be a part of it. I don't think everybody knows.

Speaker 4 (53:07):
How good it is here, I guess is the way
I would put it.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
That's what I'm wondering, Like, can you attract free agents
to come here, especially guys from Ontario or Quebec or
you know Europeans. That would be a very long flight
to get home in the summer. Things like that. I mean,
I know the yours like guys like you know tolen
In and hopefully Copple Cockle guys like that. I've really
found a nice home here along the way Burkeie and others.
But can you attract free agents to this place?

Speaker 4 (53:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (53:32):
And you know, the bonus is everything that goes along
with that. The attraction is how does the team play right?
So you know that's the coaches job. Yeah, so you
definitely can attract them.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Yes. Structure is something that we heard when Ron Francis
made the move with Dan Bilsma, and then when Jason
got promoted. I've sat down with both of them. We've
heard the word structure over and over and old again.
Then we hear things like, well, Ley Lambert's kind of
more of a defensive minded guy based on your numbers,
that you weren't always a defensive I mean you probably
played both fans. I'm not going to say that, but

(54:09):
you put up points, you know how to score, you
did all those things. I thought it was interesting when
you said the press conference to day, to play with structure,
you have to get the puck in your own zone
and get possession. Can you kind of tell the fans
what to expect from style.

Speaker 5 (54:21):
Of play, Well, look at you as a player. If
you really break it down in a sixty minute game,
you may have the buck. If you're really good, you
may have the puck on your stick for a minute.
If that, you know, so what are you doing for
the other fifty nine minutes? Or you know, if you
play twenty minutes and you've got the puck for a
minute on your stick, what are you doing for the
other nineteen minutes? And that's where that's where the team

(54:44):
game comes in. For me. It's all about team mentality,
team first, and in order to have that, everyone has
to be, you know, on the same page. And that's
that's basically what the structure is about. And if you
have good strug, there's two things that can happen. First
of all, you get the buck back, Okay. The second
thing is you're in the right position to transition. If

(55:08):
you don't have structure, you're going to take longer to
get the buck back. And when you do get it back,
you're not going to be in the right in the
proper position to transition and and go on offense. So
you know, there's this this defensive sort of mantra, and
it's true. I mean, I'm proud of my defensive style
of play to a certain degree, but it also lends

(55:31):
to offensive play. And you know, you look at the
Washington Capitals, Ovechkin and Nick Bakstrom and Berkovsky was on
that team when we win the Stanley Cup. You know,
we've had a lot of success from that standpoint. I
you know, I just came here from Toronto. You know,
you've got Matthews and Marner and those guys, and and
you know, it's just about it's just about everyone buying

(55:53):
in and being on the same page.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Laine Lambert with Ay for a got more moments. The
the team toughness question was asked you, there was our
buddy adye olcheck ed. Zoe would say on the broadcast,
we almost could play the drinking game. NetFront presence help
me off, you'd hear. NetFront presence or lack thereof. Team
toughness is defined in a lot of different ways. NetFront

(56:15):
presence is one, you just played a series as associate
coach in Toronto against the team in Florida that I
don't think of the team. It has like a bunch
of heavyweights like you had to face back in the
days and the dub but they're tough, like there's a response.
How would you describe team toughness, Well.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
It's team toughness. Is exactly what it means. It's team.
It's not one guy, it's not two guys. It's not
you know, nineteen eighty three like when I first started. Ye,
you know, everybody's involving team toughness. You take care of
each other, you have each other's backs.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
That's team toughness.

Speaker 5 (56:48):
And you are to me, it's just so important to
be willing to win those fifty to fifty battles, to
go into the corner first.

Speaker 4 (56:59):
That's team toughness. That's tough.

Speaker 5 (57:01):
That's playing tough. You know, you know I alluded to
in the press conference. You know, blocking shots, that's tough.
You know, it's not it's not fun, price the way
paying the price. So to me, that's team toughness. And
if anything happens, and if you know, you need anything,
or if there's a response needed, you've got five guys
in there.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Yeah, I love it. Before I let you go, you've
mentioned we everly the captain, Huge s. Grubauer you coached,
Burkie you coach as well. Audrey Berkowski's an interesting guy.
A lot of injuries the last couple of years. Last
year was the first year is kind of healthy for
the first time. We haven't seen the guy that you
saw in Washington. What's there? What's there with ninety five?

Speaker 5 (57:39):
Well, you know, Andre's a highly talented, very very smart,
offensive individual. He's got tremendous skill and you know, he
like you say, I haven't I haven't coached him. I've
only seen him on occasion here over the last few

(58:00):
years because he's been you know, Colorado and he's been here.
But the the potential is limp is endless with him.

Speaker 4 (58:09):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (58:09):
You know when he first came here, prior to getting injured,
he was he was on fire, you know. So what's
there with with him is there's a lot of attributes
and abilities and and it's up to you know, it's
our job to help him regain that final.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Thing for you you mentioned, I thought it was really
interesting you talked about coming here with your family wanting
to kind of establish yourself in the community with your wife.
What does that mean.

Speaker 5 (58:33):
I think it's huge. I just you know, getting here
and even this morning coming.

Speaker 4 (58:39):
Into the staff meeting.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
Uh, there's a real sense of family, uh, within the
organization and uh, you know, it's got to from from
my perspective, it's got to extend out in the community
and h So for me, you know, being part of
that and being part of some of the important things

(59:02):
out in the out out in the community, I think
it's a I think it's a responsibility and I take
it seriously.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
I lie to fans. You mentioned that, I want you to.
We're speaking to the fans right now. You mentioned coming
into this building as an opposing coach a couple of
times and what it was like.

Speaker 5 (59:17):
Yeah, I didn't like the fans and how loud they were,
and how much I felt like there was moments certainly
in the game where you know, they were you know,
for lack of a better term, seventh man kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (59:32):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
Players feed off energy. Players feed off the home fans energy.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
They just do.

Speaker 5 (59:38):
It's it's it's just a fact, you know, And and
they feed either way, whether it's negative or positive. So uh,
you know, I said, I'm I'm excited to go stand
behind the home bench as opposed to the visiting bench.
I really mean that. I think the fans support here
is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Yeah, Nevana song will not a lot better when it's
playing for you guys along the way way and the
media is nicer these two guys, notwithstanding the musical nicer,
the Toronto probably a little easier for you out here.
They're there, It'll be a little different for you.

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
Yeah, you know what, I didn't have to do much.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
No, that was that was That was Chief did all
that night.

Speaker 5 (01:00:11):
That was Chief. Yeah, New York, New York was my spot.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yeah, how was that?

Speaker 4 (01:00:15):
It was?

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
It was okay. I mean, you know what, hard questions coming.
It is what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Good you guys hear that hard questions. He's all for it.
It's from the praier.

Speaker 5 (01:00:24):
It doesn't mean I have to answer them.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
The guy from the prairies. Well, great to have an
I h L and w HL alum here.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
I love that. Yeah, there you go. Welcome to Seattle,
Ley Lambert, Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
That's lay Lamber. Take your break. Come back to the
text line. Next night, three point three k.

Speaker 7 (01:00:36):
FM testing live from the R and R Foundation specialist
broad JAST Studio. Now back to Ian Forness powered by
Seattle's Close to the Sports Book Snow call Me Casino.
On Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
FM, Andrews just says something right here, and I'm thinking
about a policy change on this show, but I'll get
to that in a second. Welcome back in We're at
the Tracking Community ice plux case. Yeah, we had the
Elaine Lambert interview earlier. Appreciate him sitting down with us
just a few minutes ago. A little news out of
college sports over the weekend. The house thing got settled.

(01:01:18):
That means that schools can now directly pay their athletes.
Also means, as people like Wilner and Mandel and others
who understand college sports really well writing, the sad part
about it is, we're gonna see a lot and Andrews,
you can relate to this. You played at a D
one school non revenue sport, actually probably all sports of sale.
You are non revenue in a sense. But yes, we're

(01:01:40):
gonna see Olympic sports go away. We're gonna see fewer
opportunities for those who aren't playing football or basketball to
get the ability to go to school and have it
paid for it. It's just gonna go away that the
reality of it, like love it or not, it's gonna happen,
and that will be the aftershocks. We talked about with
Pat forty a couple of weeks ago. We had them
on the show, and I may have just digg it up.

(01:02:03):
She's back with us tomorrow and revisit that because it's
be careful for what you ask for. I would, you know,
be be careful for what you ask for in that regard.
Now you know the haves will be the haves and
have nots will be the have nots. To a certain extent,
it should separate a little bit more, even more power conferences,
especially the Big Ten of the SEC for the rest
of the world. But even in those schools, even for

(01:02:25):
those programs, you're gonna see I mean things like and Andrews.
You know your sister played college soccer before going onto
the NWSL. Yes, women's sports, because you know, title line
is just gonna go away, Like if if the way
things are changing, that's not gonna apply anymore, because these
guys are gonna be they're they're now employees, So you
don't have to have equal stuff, right like, that's the

(01:02:46):
next that's the next step in this process. You're we're
gonna see that stuff go away. Cross country golf, tennis,
sports like that that that generate they don't. Not only
do they not generate money, they host schools and athletic
departments a ton of money. Buy and large, the only
thing that makes money out of school most schools across

(01:03:07):
the country is football. Basket men's basketball is number two.
And sometimes you might get the odd other sport that
is a revenue generator. Maybe maybe it's hockey in the
Big Eat or in the back and back East. Maybe
it's baseball at some schools, maybe it's volleyball at some schools,
sometimes women's basketball. But by and large, you have one

(01:03:29):
sport that makes money. So just let's just keep that
in mind when we're all celebrating. These guys are getting
all their money. That's great, but it's not We didn't
solve any problems with this house settlement. And the ironic
twist is the guy that's name was on it was
a swimmer at ASU and guess what. Guess what their
fellow in the speedos. Guess what's the first sport's gonna
get cut, get right at the top of the list,

(01:03:51):
right at the top of the damn list. It'll be yours,
It'll be yours. Yeah. Along the lines of college athletics,
Ross Ellinger Yahoo Right, he's with Yahoo. Believe in double
check yeap yeah who Sports, Ross Ellinger and John Canzono
confirming all eight members of the new PAC twelve have
signed their grant of rights and membership agreements, so that

(01:04:11):
means they're finalizing their media rights package coming in the
next couple of days their meeting tomorrow. Are the leaders
in the new PAC twelve via video call, still looking
to add the ninth member for football, maybe even nine
to ten, but the fact that they took that step
for the grant of rights is a step in the
direction to tell us that we're closer and closer to

(01:04:32):
media rights deal and getting everything finalized for what will
happen in twenty twenty six. After one more year of
weirdness and a shout out to the Beavers of Oregon
State University playing an independent schedule this year in baseball
with the PAC twelve going away, and they made it
to the College World Series with a win last night
over acc Power Florida State saw that. Good for the Beaves.

(01:04:56):
And the old PAC twelve has more teams in the
College World Series than the SEC. And I don't know
if you kept track of this, probably not, most of
you probably didn't, But the SEC had more teams in
the college Baseball tournament overall, more teams hosting super regionals
and all that than anybody else, and yet they basically

(01:05:17):
got annihilated in the wait for it playoff? But Greg
sank you want you want basically all eighteen teams or
sixteen teams the SEC to get to the college football playoffs?
And absolutely why why play the game? Why play the games? Andrews?
Why play the games? It makes no sense.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
This is why I just can't get into college sports now.
It's just it's.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
Turned a lot of people off. Now. The numbers are
still there, but there are a lot of people that
feel the same way you do. Yeah, they're just.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Hard well, especially those who are sports fans but maybe
don't have ties to a powerhouse in college athletics, like myself.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
I went to Seattle.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
You we don't have like a you know, a big
giant football program to follow or anything like that. So
anyone's just trying to catch more sports. You know, I
watched you dub games just as like another basically another
professional team quote quote when I was going up right, yeah,
And that's that's what I kind of got into it.
But it also has its nuances with with all these
other stuff kind of you know, different parts of the
game and all that, and it's just all that's going

(01:06:10):
away now, So it's it's just the amateur professionals.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
At this point, I'm gonna I'm gonna mention this real
fashion to play the music. I looked at the text line,
So if the text line is still unsponsored, I don't
know how often I'm gonna use it. And and and
I'm being serious. And here's why, you know, watching our
world over the weekend, and the acrimony that exists in

(01:06:33):
our country today and across the really across the world,
but really in our country specifically. Like I'm not always
the most positive person. I'll be the first to admit that,
but I'm just so sick of the negativity in this
world and the hate in this world. I just am.
And I'm reading stuff on the text line, and you know,
I'm a little pro tip to you guys are texting end,

(01:06:55):
we can go back and look at all the text
you sent to us. So the majority of you are okay,
but there are a handful of people that like the
text every day. And I don't care if you're ripping
on me or the morning show, midday show, softy fame
sports in general. When I can look back at a
text chain and see that every text you sent our

(01:07:15):
radio station is you hate this, you hate that, you
hate me, you hate him, you hate her, you hate
this team, you hate this coach. Remember, we can read everything.
It doesn't go away. There's a little thing we click
on it. It says, oh, there's there's the phone number.
What is this person texted? Insults and anger and all that.

(01:07:39):
I just I don't need it. Frankly, I don't need it,
and I don't think you know. Most of you guys
are really good, and you don't have to agree with
any of us. You don't have to like all of us.
But when you spend a chunk of your day every
day texting in multiple times nothing but hate and absolute
disdainful or I mean, one guy went back and looked

(01:08:02):
at he hates he hates the Kraken, he hates hockey,
He hates Jed Fish, he hates Danny Sprinkle. He literally
hates everything like it. It's the full gamut, like hates everything. Yeah,
I don't get you. I don't understand you. You need
help if you're that person. And it's not just one.

(01:08:22):
This is a generalization. This is a generalization. So when
we sell this thing, I might go back to it
on a regular basis. Until we sell this thing, I
think I'm done. I can't do it. I'm I'm and
I don't need you guys telling me you love me,
or you love the station or the shows or the

(01:08:43):
guests or segments. That's not what anybody's looking for. But
when you hate every team, every player, every host, every
morsel of food you eat in a day, every waking
hour that you're up, you know when you're not sleeping.
If you hate all that, go get help. Talk to somebody.
The world is filled with hate. We don't need hate anymore.

(01:09:04):
This is sports. We gotta have some fun here. If
you want to tell me you hate what the Marigers
are doing with their lineup, I'm all in. You want
to tell If you want to tell me you hate
the Kraken for firing, for having three coaches in three years,
or for Jetfish for having a rough first year, whatever
it is. That's fine. But when you hate everything, I'm
just I can't do it. I just can't do it,
and you can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Yeah, well, and I just don't say one thing before
we get a break. But it's we love interacting with
you guys. We love hearing from you guys. I think
it's a great part of what we do is we
get to kind of be in touch with a lot
of people that listen to us on a daily basis,
and it's it's a great part of the job that
we have. But yeah, it's like you said, this is sports.
We're supposed to get some joy out of this kind
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Right, and entertainment. You can, like, you can criticize what
our job is. Our job is to form an opinion,
to criticize at times. Yes, But like I said, I
went back. There was a couple of Today online like, oh,
let me see what this guy has said in the past.
Hmm yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, uh.

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
But Portland does stuck, by the way, that's the one
thing you can always hate.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
It's Portland.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
Yeah, it is. Although you know what a great weekend
I saw all my friends from the Comcast Sports and
Net days at the Emmy Awards and including k C H,
Kevin Klauber, the great one, Jamie Hudson who hosts some
stuff down there, and Kyle and John the wrestles guys.
Great people down in Portland. But yeah, Portland socks. We'll
take a break. Softy's next already wrapping things up, freaking

(01:10:34):
community ice flex the k C I thanks to Olaine
Lambert for sitting now with us. Thanks to the Molly
Whoppers as well for yelling and screaming. And now listen
to the voice is back. It's back.

Speaker 12 (01:10:44):
Yeah, it's been back since I'd say Saturday afternoon. Is
Laine Lambert related to Brian Lambert, former kJ our producer.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
We have looked quite a bit different, I'll say, I
don't know, I don't see. Although it wasn't freight trained,
he was a who's the Detroit guy? Right?

Speaker 10 (01:10:59):
He's a Maigan dude for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Absolutely, which is where a lot of hockey guys come from.
This guy's from Saskatchewan.

Speaker 10 (01:11:04):
You know who gave his freight train nickname?

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
By the way, where did that come from?

Speaker 12 (01:11:07):
That'd be me because of his gigantic ass. I mean
that thing is like a freight train bigger than big dumper.
Oh yeah, which jumper is? That's not that's child's play
compared to Brian.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
Just think if you would have used the term big
dumper on freight train and copyrighted that, you'd be a
rich man. Well if I have your shave ice stand
over there here talking to your Canadian ass, no, you
would not be you.

Speaker 10 (01:11:32):
And when you and when you and.

Speaker 12 (01:11:34):
Guys like Lambert Lane Lambert get together and you guys
are like Canadians. You have like secret codes and stuff
that you do, like underneath the table or winks and
all that stuff or like whatever, like signals and things
that you send to each other.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
I think it's just it's a given. It's just kind
of understood. I did, I will say this. Uh he
you know, then he sat down for an extended conversation
with you know, with but then after that with the captain,
Oh no, that works. Central was here, Oh no, had
the video rolling. We got to at an emergency podcast
coming up, and smart.

Speaker 12 (01:12:04):
Move to having talked to you before he talks to him,
because after he talks to Bent and he's probably gonna
be wiped out and just done with the whole freaking thing.

Speaker 10 (01:12:12):
I gotta talk to more of these people kidding me.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
He did the he did the car wash, he did Sylvie,
he did Levine, he did Nico Kyro doesn't do sports anymore,
so he didn't talk to anybody there.

Speaker 10 (01:12:23):
Okay, what do you think?

Speaker 5 (01:12:24):
Good higher?

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
I like him?

Speaker 12 (01:12:25):
Yeah, like rising higher and a shocking higher. I mean,
was it predictable? What was the what's the mood? What's
the vibe?

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
I would say, And I don't want this to come
across as negative, so just did a whole speech on negativity.
But uh, I would because I don't This is not
how I mean. I think he was a good safe hire.
I think he was a he's he's a coach. He's
a pro coach. He understands I think the difference between
him and Biosma. He understands today's game, and I don't
know if Disco did. He was good at developing the

(01:12:55):
young guys in Coachella Valley. But when you get to
this level, it's like any other sport, like college football's
this way now, right, college baseball is this way. You
have so much data and so much stuff to use
and if you just kind of go by feel right
and just kind I'm gonna wing it. It doesn't work anymore.
And that's how it was twenty five years ago. But
not even I think this guy gets it working in
Toronto with Berubi, working with Barry Trotz and winning a

(01:13:17):
cup in Washington, uh after and then you know, getting
fired after a couple of years, decent years by the way,
in the Island recently. I think the guy gets it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:25):
I really do.

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
And you know, one of the things is you got
to he's got to believe in the organization to take
a job, because he probably knows if this doesn't work,
he probably won't get another shot. But he's as well
as the organization believing in him. So I liked him.
I was impressed by him. I liked I think he
was gonna do stylistically, so we'll see.

Speaker 12 (01:13:42):
Well, it is funny I think you bring that up
because I actually chuckled a little bit. And the way
that you just explained it there, yeah, actually makes a
lot of sense because when you asked him, hey, what
was it about this team that was attractive to you?

Speaker 10 (01:13:56):
And I felt like saying they gave him a head job.
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (01:13:59):
But then, like you said, if he's gonna do this again,
you better make sure it's the right partnership.

Speaker 10 (01:14:03):
Otherwise he could be in eat deep, you know.

Speaker 12 (01:14:05):
What, for the rest of his career because of what
he's a two time loser, right, yeah, yeah, that's that's
like me at the Emmys. But yeah, which is a
crock of crap, by the way, crock of crap. First,
no mention with the awful announcing hockey team broadcasts, and
now this, well that was unbelievable.

Speaker 10 (01:14:24):
I don't want to hear it. No, I don't want
to hear it. I don't want to hear excuses.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
I don't want to hear two times.

Speaker 12 (01:14:30):
I want to hear just a lot of losing going
on here from Wonder three.

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
Speaking of going, that's coming up on the Long Show today.
You have a you have a whopping.

Speaker 12 (01:14:39):
Oh two hours please, this is called we we we
call this pulling a furness between three and five.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
I was waiting for that.

Speaker 10 (01:14:45):
You get to experience that every damn day.

Speaker 12 (01:14:47):
My friend, Well, Millin's gonna join us little more for
a minutefore, starting tomorrow with the Seahawks, we obvious to
talk about the big news in college athletics with the
house settlement from Friday. Uh, what it means for the
rest of college football? A college basketball, A little fun
with audio and big weekend for you to have hoops too.

Speaker 10 (01:15:04):
We'll get to that coming up.

Speaker 12 (01:15:05):
But the Mariners, the Mariners salvage win in LA against
the Mighty.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Are you gonna break down the big move today of
dominant canzone calzone?

Speaker 12 (01:15:13):
I would like to know your favorite Leoti Tavares moment,
if you've got one off the top of your head.

Today was your favorite moment?

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
And when Daniel claim gosh, I can't speak, when Daniel
Kramer tweeted that he was getting defaded.

Speaker 12 (01:15:26):
It is amazing that the greatest accomplishment that Leote Taveres
actually may have contributed is making us missdominant canzone.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
Right, he did have a game when he hit in Chicago.

Speaker 10 (01:15:35):
If I'm not sing well, a lot of guys have one.
Get Jose Lopez made the All Star team based on
like a good month.
