Speaker 3 (03:51):
Five month old. Yes, I'm used.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
To well this this little monster ain't five. He's old
enough not to be doing this. Teething no fun. No, Yeah,
can I interest you in some chambers, babe, bourbon and
a little swab? I would love that personally. Yeah, I
think I think those days have passed. I'm sure that

(04:13):
I hear stories with what my mom did back in
the day.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
And you know, I mean good to go.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
What bourbon on a banky, buddy, There's nothing wrong with
you know what. First of all, if you're gonna do that,
acquire a you know, get good tastes, right, just acquire
the good I mean, and have the good stuff sure
like none of the seaguins in seven or nothing like that. Like,
go out there and get yourself some good stuff like
our friends at Chambers, Bata Stillery. Man, I don't take
care of you.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
A little bit.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Bourbon on the banking hell, I could take a bourbon
on the banky right now and be damn happy. I'd
be damn happy with that. Along the way, we believe
were gonna hear from Charles Cross here a little bit
looking forward to that. The see what else we got
going on today? Well, get into Joe Shehan's gonna joice
at one twenty today.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
All things deadline.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Let's go all things deadline.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
It was a dead deadline. Let's be honest.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Besides, yeah, let me. I'm just I don't think I
see cross yet, So I think we're gonna we can
kind of go down that road from Let's just go
down that road for a second until we have to
jump out of it. Yep, dust is settled. Uh, Mayors
did get help yesterday. By the way, did like like
it was a better I think it was a good
day yesterday. Not because of what happened in terms of
trade deadline. I'm I'm you know my stance on that,

(05:24):
I'm like whatever, nothing burger all the way around. But
but my the the better thing was is both Houston
Texas lost yesterday big thanks to John lenn San Francisco Giants,
Let's go. They put a whooping on the Rangers yesterday
and Houston earlier in the day had lost as well.
So yeah, so you gained half a game by not playing,

(05:45):
which was nice. That was kind of one of those
days that you you just kind of cross your fingers
you hope it works out for you, and it does.
When it's all said and done, the MS come away
with a bullpen arm that may or may not be.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Unofficial.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
And I say that because we just you don't know, right, Like,
I mean, hasn't been great, right, but maybe it probably
isn't upgrade over what two or three of the arms
you had in there. Yes, I thought yesterday. I don't
know if it's you or Nate or Chris brought up something.
Bizarto man, it feels like they've used him every day.
Oh yeah, Like, and first of all, I'm a Bizarto fan.

(06:25):
I'm just gonna say that first and foremost. I think
the guy's an absolute flat in a sport that doesn't
have a lot of guys that exhibit toughness mentally and
physically and are just absolute warriors and and you know,
play through anything. Whoa, I think that I think that
dude does.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
Like I think I have some breaking newsy in But yeah,
may be late on this because it's like ten minutes old,
but okay. With Taylor war joining the team today, the
Mariners have released outfielder Rob Refsnyder and catcher Mitch Garver. Whoa,
Johnny Pereta is being recalled from Tacoma.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa Wow, Wow, we are
shaking up the clubhouse.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah we are, Yeah, we are.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Thing there no, no, no, no, let me let's do
some math here for a second, shall we let's do
some math here. Let's let's let me take pen in
hand here, hang on a second. Okay, So out ref Snyder, Yes, Garver,
Garver in war is Ward and peralta parada Parada, sorry Parada,

(07:36):
Johnny Johnny with a j O, h uh Parada. So
and then yesterday, I do believe on the flagship Old
Justin Baby said that Luke Railey might be out for
the years, out for the season. So he's and he
was already on the injured list, yes, matter with him. Okay,
so ref Snyder Garver out.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
And you can add Alex Hoppy to that if you're
looking at both as well. And then de Minge is coming.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Out well, so yeah, I'm just more looking at like
just the shakeup that we had. So before we ask
people to text in at four nine, four or five
one their favorite Rob Refsnyder moment.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Hey, homer against the Dodgers. Pretty good, he.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Did homer against the Dodgers. Garver is the interesting one
to me. Yeah, that's an interesting one.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
I mean I probably agree with that because Parade has
been good. It's just you haven't been able to get
him up because you already have two catchers.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, I think, well, and it's probably what is it is?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
It?

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Is it a push in terms of defense with those
two guys, right, Uh?

Speaker 7 (08:40):
Yeah, because I think we had the pass ball the
other day that was kind of agreeable.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Right.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
But Garver's really good at the abs, so his challenges
are probably the best out of everyone, which is a skill. Yeah,
But but Parade is probably better at a throwing people
out and be a little bit more blocking as well.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
So I'm the question I would have if if Jeffsman's
head down for the media availability today or betting or somebody.
I this feels really like, Okay, we made it, we
made a couple moves yesterday, and now we're gonna shake
things up.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
It's go time.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
This this is go time. Yeah, this is one hundred
percent go time. And I was just talking about uh,
Bizardo being a guy that's that's not uh or that
you know, I think exudes a lot of toughness, a
guy that that was.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Absolutely not his fault in Game seven?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
What no, and that you know, And that's and honestly, Andrews,
That's why I bring it up because I think I
think he's attached to the worst managerial move in this
city's history. And by no fault of his own. The
guy gives you innings, the guy goes out and and
I just I just like his demeanor. He gives, he
can give something up and he's still good. But I

(09:50):
think he's wearing out. I think he's wearing out. But
that move today, those moves today, that's a that's a Hey,
you know, we got rid of castile, popular guy in
the clubhouse. People weren't happy. Players weren't happy about that.
I don't know, Garver seems like a guy people probably liked.

(10:11):
Ref Snyder just didn't work. I mean, he's just this
year's Aj Pollock or Colton Wong or just go through
the long list of those guys that every year Jerry
tells us all he's got a great tremendous history of
hitting left handers. Okay, I mean we've heard that every year, right,
But you're on the hook for salary with him. Now

(10:31):
we're far enough into the season where that's probably not
much of a point anymore, right, would you say, like,
what was he seven six seven million dollars?

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, it's not a huge deal of money.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
So you're eating like two million at this point or
a million at this point. Yeah, you can eat that.
And Garver, you just turfed a veteran. Yeah, that's a
that's a wake up call, man, at least to me.
I don't know, I don't know what you think. What
do you think?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
I think it's the Yes.

Speaker 6 (10:59):
I think the message would have been a little bit
more ringing true if it were earlier in the season.
I think most guys in the clubhouse now realize, hopefully
now realize that you know what, what we've done up
until now isn't good enough, and that everything's on the
table in terms of, you know, roster shakeup. But yeah,
I think that if nothing else, it shows that your

(11:21):
I don't wanna say, your actions have consequences. But no
one's safe, right you can, you know, as cal Rawlway's
got to pick it up. Julio's got to pick it up,
you know, Josh Naylor's got to pick it up. But
in terms of the fringes of the roster, and those
guys aren't getting dropped, I'm not saying that, but the
fringes of the roster, like the Victor Robleist's of the world,

(11:42):
You know, there's there's a couple other spots as well
that you could look at the bottom of the bullpen,
like you're looking to kind of shore up those spots
so you can go and compete for hopefully a division
and the playoffs as well.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's got to be what the messages. Yeah, it's it's
it's got it's gotta be with the messages to the
to the team today from Wilson or if Jerry gonna
Be speaks as well. I mean, the message has to
be just what you said.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, it's go.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Time, right, it's absolute, flat out go time now, and
we're gonna we're gonna get going. We wrap things up,
and you look back on the trades and and what
they did. And I think this is an important point
to make. You made it on our text thread last
night because there's a lot of folks talking about, well,
they saved money and and that was kind of the

(12:29):
primary thing with the Castillo trade, with saving money. Sure,
two things with that one. If that's your primary goal,
then you've lost sight of what the goal should be.
The goal should be to win. Yes, now, we don't
know if Castile would have been a better option in
the bullpen than some other guys because we just never

(12:51):
got to that point outside of a couple of piggybacks
along the way. And I think it a postseason appearance,
right yep. But but the money part, at least for
this year, that's a wash, right.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Yes, yeah, because he brought in Sir Anthony d. Mingez
who is not cheap in terms of a reliever as well,
and Taylor well we're on the hook for him next year,
yes you are, yes, you are, and Taylor Ward adds
like kind of evens it out for this year. Now,
you do save a little bit next year because Castillo
is oh twenty something million next year and that's all.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
So you save it. So you cut that in half basically,
right with with Sir Anthony whatever his name is, do
Mingus Mingas Yeah, yeah, Sir Anthony there he he he
he cost you half of what Castillo cost you.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
But then you.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
And Taylor Ward's is a free agent, right right, so
I'm looking ahead to next year? Sorry, yes, yeah, so
this year they didn't save any money. Correct, this year,
they didn't save any money. Right, next year, you save
for let's just say argument's sake around ten million, right, okay, Right,
so there's this assumption that that is something that as

(13:57):
a fan you're like, Okay, that's cool, that's a good thing.
I'm gonna ask again the question, why do you think
that as a fan?

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Why do you care about that as a fan?

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Well?

Speaker 6 (14:06):
And that's the reason I bring it up is because,
like there's this assumption as you say that they're gonna
go and reinvest it. If you're thinking, like, hey, you
have twenty million this year and twenty million next year
to reinvest, that's not true. You've already reinvested the money
that you saved this year, So that's off the table.
It's it's really and you said it like Domingos as well,
it's like it's about ten million for next year.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
That's is it that much?

Speaker 7 (14:28):
Right?

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I mean, I mean you're already saving money next year anyway,
because JP Crawford's gone.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Correct, there's a lot. Yes, that's a great point.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yes, you already saying here's the other reason you're saving
money next year because you're not gonna start on time.
Oh god, yeah, you're you're not starting on time.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
That's no.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
They don't like like that's the That's the other thing
is you're gonna have lockout strike whatever. I don't even
know what it's gonna be. It's gonna be a some
sort of work stoppage. Yeah, so you're you're not starting
on time anyway, you know. I mean this offseason is
gonna be really interesting, Like how how how it goes about?
Like are you signing people? Well, you're not. You know
when the collected bargain agreement runs out? Yep, you signed

(15:08):
guys before then, not knowing what is coming like aka
a cap yep, which probably won't. We all kind of
think that won't happen. But that's what they're going to
fight for. Yeah, right, a floor is I mean, so
there's a lot to this. All I care about and
all I ever care about. Are you a better baseball team?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Are you a better baseball team? I think maybe you
could make the argument you're slightly better.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, I think yeah, you who I think it was
you that said it.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
Talent wise, it's probably a wash, but in terms of
you know, where it helps your team. You you traded
from a position that you had a lot of.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Strength players, you had a position of strength and starting pitching.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Yeah, you traded them and you upgraded your your kind
of outfields, outlook for the rest of this year, and and.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
You, I don't want to that's the key. That's the key.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
I don't want to say Taylor war is just another
rob raps center. That's not the case at all. He's
he's an everyday player. He's not a platoon guy. So
those who are worried that he's gonna come in and
be a platoon guy, that's not happening. He's playing every
single day. He's Yeah, the still decent against righties, and
he mashes lefties right and he plays good outfield defense.
Hey wow, what a concept. We don't really have any
of those right now.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
I don't want here's the thing, and I don't think
it will, But I just don't. I don't trust what
I see on the lineup card a lot of times.
I don't want it to disrupt any any sort of
app bats or opportunities for dom Canzone.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
I don't think it will.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't think because yeah, because you're gonna someone's getting
pushed out now with Rayley's injury, that that does help
there a lot. Yes, the Ward got Ward is just
a fascinating thing to me though, because he gets on
base at a very high rate. Awesome, He doesn't ever
steal a base, right, Like he is the epitome of

(16:50):
station to station. True, it's true, Like I I like, seriously,
he's got I think he's got twenty five career stolen bases.
It's less than thirty in his career. He's been in
the league for almost a debs.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
Just not a skill. And it's not like he's slow.
He's not fast, but he's looking at his you know,
sprintspeed on stackcast, it's about average.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Like, so you would think that he would have a
few more in there.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's an amazing thing stealing bases, right, Because then you
got a guy Josh Naylor. Like Josh Naylor. Every time
he's on base, I I just think to myself, this
dude's gonna steal second. Yeah, and you know what he's
great at is stealing third.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Like his read on the ball, and it's just it's
a remarkable skill that he has. So when the time
well Ward could lead off, why would you have him
lead off? He's not gonna help you exactly outside. I mean,
you want a guy, If you have a guy leading off,
would be my choice. Yeah, you want a guy that
can move yeah, yeah, I mean getting on base is great.
But if you're not, if you're just going you know,

(17:45):
first to second, second to third, I don't know how
much that helps.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
You know, Hell, maybe Josh Naylor lead off, let's go
get you on base, steal some bases.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
God that that would be so out of the box.
But look kind of fine.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well, it kind of is true because he's not a
home run hitter anymore.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
No, it's home runs this year. His last home run
at home was June first. Oh my god, his last
home run at home.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Was two months ago, by the way.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, he hit as many home runs in the month
of July at home as you and I did. I mean,
how does that happen? I have no idea, man, which See,
that's the criticism. It's a power position. We talked about
that yesterday. Yes, all right, So as it all washes
out today, as we sit here today, compared to you know,

(18:31):
one week ago or at the end of the Dodgers series, whatever,
how much better are they today than they were last week?
Marginally marginally better? Yeah, the good news I agree. I'd
say it's not significant, but it's not a nothing burger.
Here's the good news in this particular division and year,

(18:52):
that's all you have.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
To be well and here's the other good news.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
That's all you have to be is marginally better.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
Yeah, and there's not in terms of especially offensively. You
can maybe say there was a couple of relievers that
were moved that the Mariners could have done any other
offensive moves. There's not a move that I would have said, oh,
the Mariner should have done that right right? There just
wasn't bats moved at this deadline? Whatsoever?

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I asked Christis yesterday. I didn't really get your thoughts
on it. The rest of the American League though, if
you're just doing your role, And I said to like,
who got better? But let's just look at the rest
of the American League. If you're going to do the
old fun Little's football season power rankings, Yeah, right, where
does Seattle fit in that? In that category? And I'll
throw this out there. National media sometimes is absolutely beyond clueless.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
They look at brands, they look at markets, and that's it.
I spent I'm just sitting at the on the old
bike yesterday at the gym after work and I'm watching
an hour and a half of baseball on ESPN and
they didn't mention Seattle once. Except for the Castillo trade
to like Taylor Ward was like a non entity. But

(20:01):
Boston obviously, right, we already know what Tampa and Tampa
added like kind of a steal, Yeah they did. I
mean that's a great ad. And then obviously the Yankees
are right there as well, the Guardians. Where do you
put Seattle in the pecking order of just the American League,
because I think if we're looking at it to three
teams in the East, Cleveland no better than.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
Five, right, Yeah, I would say I put him at
three or four. Actually, I think they're better than Cleveland.
Obviously people are gonna look at records, but we're talking
power rankings here, guys, So we're talking where the talent
of the team is. And I do I am higher
on Boston's chances of going. And you know how they
improved than Chris was. He still said they're a pretty

(20:43):
fraud roster. I think they clearly made themselves the American
League favorite now. And the Yankees just have such injury
questions that you know, you never know if Judge is
gonna come back and be the same guy. He's like
everything to them. So if they're healthy, they're better than
the Mariners. And I'd put the Mariners at four. But
if they're never healthy, I think the Mariners have a

(21:03):
better roster, so i'd say three or four.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
For the marriage.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
The Aaron Judge factors is huge. It's huge, right, that's
the big thing. I see. I'm with you two because
if we're just talking what I just said, Yeah, that's
just what's it's a power rank, it's not it's not
what the standing say of the wins and losses. That's
what makes this year so massively frustrating.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
And you're third and you're still thirty year division.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, I mean it's it's that. But but you have
that potential. Yes, you're kind of that scary team that
that if they get going, maybe this is the next
three games they get. I mean they've won two in
a row. Maybe you string together a little four or
five game winning streak and and all of a sudden
you're feeling a hell of a lot better about yourself
when it's all said and done. All right, I don't
see any sign of Charles Cross, So we'll take a break.

(21:47):
We may or may not get him on stick around.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
Now.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Back to Ian Forness at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center
and our special coverage of Seahawks training brought to you
by the Boweling Classics Sport.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
kJ r F M.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
All right, we're back here at the Virginia Mason Athletics
Center INFNTS with you. We're sitting field side, fans are
rolling in and we're joined now by the left tackle
for the Seattle Seahawks, the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks,
Charles Crosses here. How are you? It's on great Highboutsel.
It's been a while. Man, It's good to see you.
He's good to see you, and and and you are.
What I love watching right now is five guys together

(22:31):
for a second year in a row. Healthy. It appears
everyone's out there. How different is that? Man, you've been
here this fifth year for you? This is you've you've
looked across theres a different guy on the right side,
different guy here and all this. How different is it now?

Speaker 8 (22:43):
It's a rare thing, especially the NFL, having the same
guys last year in the building playing together. My flight
has been a great experience, just conteeing to build our camaraderie,
my closest together as a group, and just playing together
as one.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
What kind of difference to which Benton mad last year
for you guys.

Speaker 8 (23:01):
I fl like he made a huge difference just being
technically sound, just just a clear clarity he has with
his communication.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I fl like he's helped us a lot as a group.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Just grow stability, Charles seems like it's a really important
thing in sports. And I just mentioned five guys back
all the same, The same guys are there second year.
This might be the first time in your five years
you've had a back to back same coach for the
same year. Bro right on the offensive line, How important
is it from the unit that we always hear has

(23:32):
to be the most cohesive, in touch with each other.
How important is just stability all the way around coaching
and having the same guys next to you?

Speaker 8 (23:39):
My flag is very important, just in the aspect of
hearing the same coaching points, being able to build off
those culture points, and Dan, just just how much we
can grow as a group from that from last year
to this year going to the Turney camp, just continue.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
To build off that.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
You look next to you and you see the young
guy Gray's abel I say, young guys, not like you're old,
you're twenty five, but you see right next year. What
kind of growth in the game have you seen from him?
Gray has a great i Q no coming in. He
he has a great understanding for the game, with great
understanding versus who.

Speaker 8 (24:11):
He going against. And he plays guard, but he thinks
he has he understands the game. But he like he
plays in.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
There because he played and he played a lot of
different positions, so that probably helps along the way. Do
you feel like that makes your game better as well?
I mean from a year ago to now, having that
guy that's a second year guy that you I always
think that, you know, I just I talked to my
kid about this, Like the guy next to you, that
right guard or that left guard. You need him to
be cohesive, but you also need to trust him, and
there's gotta be a trust factor. Do you feel that?

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (24:39):
Absolutely, I feel like just seeing things, seeing things through
the same lens, understanding what he's gonna do without him
having to tell me sometimes and just back and forth
in that kind of aspect.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Charles Cross with me saying, I don't want to say
your complay. Can you relax it all now? In this
sense for you personally, You've got a contract, second contract
in the NFL, This is a franchise that has given
a lot of those out over the years. Like your
first round pick, you get there, you have to deal
with any of the stuff. There's no holdings, hold out
something like that. All the business off the field is

(25:13):
taken care of. How important is that for you just
to say, Okay, everything's taken care of, I can just
go play football.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
For me?

Speaker 8 (25:19):
This this, this is exactly how I wanted to be,
just being able to come in each area that each
and every day, putting my bis foot forward, go to
work with these guys, play practice in front of the fans.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, Like, I couldn't wish anything better.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Man.

Speaker 8 (25:30):
I love the environment that we have here and my
teammates is just a great opportunity.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
This in front of me.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Guy from Mississippi, Moral, Mississippi, and you've kind of established
yourself here in Seattle. How different are you than five
years ago when you first got here? And in what
ways too?

Speaker 8 (25:47):
Mentally, I feel like I'm a lot more mature, just
as as I'm growing up, understanding football more, having a
better IQ. It's like I've become more of a leader
of the team, just leading by example of the base
way I can whether it's individual team no matter what
it is, just trying to lead the base way I
can just take care of my body, learn more about

(26:10):
my body really just overall as a whole, just continue
to grow and fine growth with myself.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
How how taking care of the body is always a challenge,
especially for guys playing the hardest position in the field
on the offensive line and the most grueling one, you
guys was d lineman last I checked. They get plays off,
they gotta.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Come to the sideline.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
You guys are play one hundred percent of snaps and
then oh, by the way, you go all the way
and play through February? Was it a harder off season?
Easier off season? What was the off season like? Because
that your the turnarounds crazy and you guys are all
back here one hundred percent, felt like, you know for
OTA's and mini camps and all that stuff. How hard
was the off season?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Well?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
What did you have to do? You have to prepare differently.

Speaker 8 (26:46):
So this was the sort of offseason I've had since
I've been in the NFL. So really just creating a plan,
sticking to their plan, and based take care of my body,
make something get stronger, faster. Those kinds of things work
on my technique. So it was just it was just
short and miss it.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Go back up. I want to go back to college
for a second. I'm a wazoolum. What was it like
playing for the late great pirate coach leads.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
It's so many things I can say about co but
I think the best, the best way I could wrap
everything up is he was a one on one. He
was one on one. He was a character, but he
was also a great coach. Just just his iq of
the game, understanding how to manipulate and manipulate different defenses, coverages,

(27:33):
but everything was just he made everything so simple for us.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
He was one of one did when you first when
he first rolls in and you see this guy and
he's got like he's got the little like the little
piece of paper calling plays and doing this. You know,
Luke Falk was one of his better quarterbacks. We had
Luke on the show all the time. We talked to
other guys that played for him at WAZO and they're
like like they couldn't figure it out. Like the guy
would sit there and he'd like he's just like a

(27:57):
mad scientist and stuff like that. Did you or find
yourself look at him? Going, how is this guy successful?
Like how like where does it come from?

Speaker 9 (28:04):
No?

Speaker 8 (28:05):
I feel like I like, I like this assist comes,
come comes with the scheme that he runs and getting
the guy getting the right.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Guys in to run the scheme. But he's he has
a crazy i Q.

Speaker 8 (28:17):
He's a great coach, a great motivator, and I enjoyed
playing for him.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
We miss him a lot. There's a great story that
was just talking to unfortunately the Tyler Lensky who's was
a Wazoo Guy quarterback who died by suicide. His brother
was in town and he was telling me the stories
of him and Fulk where like Tyler used to mess
with him all the time, like you could get him distracted,
Like Leach time was different time right, Like like if
you said, like Mike Leach being on time wasn't always

(28:42):
his thing, like he was here that so that's that's
true then, right?

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (28:47):
How different is this guy and Mike mc He's a professional,
he's professional, very punctual.

Speaker 8 (28:54):
He demands a lot of a lot of us, but
we expect that spect that out of each other.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Plant plants are our standard as a team. Charles, what's
the Charles cross for a couple of six more seconds.
What's the what's the attitude in that building in terms
of defending champs. That's a whole different world that you're
living in right now. You're defending Super Bowl champions. We'll
get the hard knocks in a second. You get all
that going on. Uh, it's funny because everyone's looking at
the team in your division is the favorite this year,
the Rams. So how different is the approach this year

(29:20):
in terms of how you guys go about your day
to day business and training camp.

Speaker 8 (29:23):
I think we're still working. We continue to grow as
a team team to get better each and every day.
I think there's no complacency. We're always working to find
find ways to get better and improve our team. Does
it bother you that you hear that people talking about
the Rams a lot. I don't listen to the to
the noise. I like that I can do is focus
on folks, on what I can do in our team.
But you won't see him till later in the year.

(29:44):
What were your thoughts when you saw Miles Garrett sign there?
I mean it's good for him. I mean we still
got to play ball at the end of the day.
Good challenge. Absolutely, you guys in your position don't care.
Do they like that we don't care? We didn't care.
That's kind of the that's kind of the mantra of
an off offensive linement, isn't it. I mean, we just
got to play the next play I love it and
be ready and available.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Fans are here. Hard Knocks is here? What's the Hard
Knocks thing it's gonna be? Are you gonna watch it tonight?

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Probably?

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Not?

Speaker 2 (30:10):
No, Really, I gotta get I gotta go to sleep
for the next day.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
You get six eight, six pm.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's still in the building, aren't you okay?

Speaker 3 (30:15):
All right?

Speaker 2 (30:16):
So what's it been like? Has it been a distraction?
Is it something that maybe the first day you notice
you don't notice?

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Now?

Speaker 2 (30:22):
What's that been like? Because they they resisted long before
when you were in high school and Pete was here.
There is no chance they wanted that thing coming here.
And it feels like Mike's kind of embraced a little bit.
What's it been like? What's the Hard Knocks thing?

Speaker 3 (30:33):
On my flight?

Speaker 8 (30:33):
Theings been normal, like like obviously the first day, like
you notice the camera stuff like that. But other than that,
like we just we just our sales like east and
every day, how we do things, just being our sales.
I feel like it hasn't been a distressing for us.
If people do watch it, unlike you.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
They are watching it tonight. What do you think might
be something that surprises a fan. How loose a focus
we are, We lose what we focus. At the same time,
explain that we have fun, but when it's time to work,
we work. I like that.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
I like that too.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
It kind of feels like the coach. That kind of
feels like it comes from Mike in a lot of ways.
Fans are back here day to give you little more
juice when they're out here yesterday's kind of boring.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
He's quiet out of here.

Speaker 8 (31:10):
I having the fans coming out off like they give
great energy, a little saying bow do the hype machine
before practice? Yeah, get everyone going, you know. Yeah, it's
a great it's a great opportunity. Well I told you
this last year. I'll tell you again.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Great Cosell, who's our film guru from the NFL films.
He's like everyone every NFL guy. This is the guy
Gary Cosell and all he does every time every week
we have you on, he pumps your tires up. He says,
this guy is poised to have an all Pro season
at left tackle. That's how how he thinks of you.
And I think a lot of people think that as well.
So go get him. This year's great talking. You will
do it again right, This is like last night. I
appreciate Charles Cross, will take a quick break, come back

(31:45):
with more. Night three point three KJFM.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Now back to Ian Ferness at the Virginia Mason Athletics
Center and our special coverage of Seahawks training camp, brought
to you by the Boweing Classics Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
kJ R f M.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
We're want to wrap up a Mariner conversation in a second.
We'll get to Joe Sheen at one twenty today we'll
talk a little Hard Knocks. We'll take you behind the
scenes with Hard Knocks coming up at one today. Don't
forget before we're all done, so they're gonna give away
a cool cornhole set courtesy of Hard Knocks and HBO,
so stand by for that. We'll do that in the
two o'clock hour real before I go back to the Mariners. Anders,

(32:27):
when I asked about Miles Garrett to Charles Cross, yeah, smiled, smile.
That needed to be a TV interview because he smiled.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Oh, I love that he did not care.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
We did not care.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
We did not care.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
I I I'm telling you that that attitude just permeates
out here.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yeah, it's not just a quote, it's not just a
sound bite.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
How they live. They don't like how about I'm watching
hard knocks, don't care whatever, Just move on.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Now, Like, yeah, I need to sleep next day. Yeah
I got.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
I mean, that's also an old lineman. He probably knows
he's not in it.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
It's it's too true.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
You got the quarterback, Mike Up, they got Witherspoon, they
got all this. We'll get tell that later on. But yeah,
when I asked Hi about Miles Garrett and he's like, yeah, whatever, smile,
just smile.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
I think he likes the challenge. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
You know, Cosell, that's not just lip service to him.
Cosell every week, you know you're in there when we
tape him. Coselle talks. Coselle loves him some Charles Kraust,
he really does. He really doesn't. And I you know,
there's a lot of folks out there that think it's
could be one of those breakthrough years for him. You know,
we'll see what he's able to do. Argue that he
was really yeah, he was, and I think, you know,

(33:43):
we missed the last three regular season games with the
hamstring issue, came back and obviously was good enough in
the playoffs. So I don't think he was ever healthy.
But uh, he would never admit otherwise, but yeah, he was.
He was fine the But yeah, he's breakout year coming,
I think for this dude, I don't think there's any.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Question about that.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Okay, so Marriors haven't made it official yet with the
roster moves, I don't think just double checking. No, uh
so we're kind of going by the reporting of of
Divish and judeep. But the uh, the ref Snyder thing, God,
I mean we joked about the counter the ticker that
Nathan had going all year. God, yeah, I know if

(34:23):
you just went because these guys I didn't look at it,
they did the work for me. I think, thanks Ryan,
appreciate you. T Mobile Park Rob Refsnyder hit sixty.

Speaker 6 (34:33):

list of. Them there's some good ones, too don't get me, wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
But they're, no there's some really good. Ones not Like
jerry's been. Fine, yeah that was.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Bad he's had some stinkers.

Speaker 6 (35:56):

On his exit has been fine oh, god stop it

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Stop it can't get any worse than, this, Right, like, NO.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
I THINK i, honestly we keep. Thinking we keep, Thinking,
okay this is this is WHERE i, this this is
gonna be the, thing and that things are turning, around,
right this is gonna Be uptick's gonna. Happen, now this
team's gonna crank it?

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Up is this the?

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Week is this the?

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Week i'm done trying to predict.

Speaker 6 (36:32):
It to be, HONEST i am the famous guy who
said The astros were dead three years, ago and, yeah
they're still the top of the.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Division So i'm not going to try and predict. That
cow he's coming. Back you, Know i'm talking to. Him
i'm talking about a team as a.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Whole oh, okay, YEAH i THINK i think there have
been Signs Josh nayler's looked much better in the last
couple of weeks or. So still would like to see
him hit a home, run but you, know whatever is
the lead off hitter game? NOW i, guess, Uh JULIO
i think also has had a few games here and
there where he's looked much. Better it helps that his
defense has really come, around because it was bad to

(37:10):
start the.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Year, cal just Man.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
Cal it's it's he hits a home run and then
he goes out for four to four k's and then,
well and.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
That's WHAT i, Mentioned like WHEN softi brought it up,
YESTERDAY i, said you, know like what we're making a
lot Like cal hit two home runs last. Week, yeah
he had three hits total for the.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Week, yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Exactly he's going to run into a. Couple it's just
he hit a.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Buck thirty last. Week, yeah you, know like like that's the.
Thing it's, like, yeah he's gonna that's the thing with,
Him he's gonna run into some.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Balls.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah and he's been better in terms of of you,
know his his eye has been, good you, know walking
has been you, know BUT i don't know HE i
just wanted somebody brought it up. Yesterday it is you is?
It is there something From he's been better on the
right side at times.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
On the left. Side, yeah That's, Chris so is is it.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
The swing on the?

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Left is that the?

Speaker 6 (38:02):
Issue, well his last couple home runs that you were
just mentioning were both from the right, side which that's the.
Point and supposedly going into last, year so through twenty twenty,
four cow was so much better from the left, side
and the right side was like his kind of. Bugaboo
but he wouldn't have to do that very much because
that's when you're facing. Lefties and his big breakout was

(38:22):
him being able to finally get some power from that right,
side and that's why he had such a breakout year last.
Year and now all of a, sudden it looks he
looks more comfortable from that right side than he does
the left. Side so maybe there's something injury related that's
preventing him to be like one hundred percent from that
left side of the.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Plate that could be the. Case all, right we will
take a. Break we'll come. Back when we, do we'll
preview a little hard knocks tic you a little behind the.

hall Of fame.

Speaker 6 (48:07):

Year, yeah and it was for those who would, think,
oh just one good year doesn't make you A hall Of,
famer he had more than one good year with the
L i think.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
PEOPLE i think people he got he was banged up
his last couple of years IN. La he was banged
up the last couple of years IN, la AND i
think that maybe taints some people's, image like this dude's
an absolute stud.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Dude i'm REALLY i really.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Want to hear, him, LIKE i really want to hear
him BECAUSE i think this is a guy that everything
we have been told, selfless which is what this team's all.
About but he just goes about his business and he's
talking to guys the whole. Time guys are coming up to,
him offensive and defensive guys coming up to him and

(49:01):
talking to. HIM i think that's gonna be really. Cool,
Yeah dirtay may be an underrated star guy with The british.
Accent that's gonna be. Unique now here's the thing with.
Him we have we have you, know watched him the
last couple of. Years came here With, mike with Coach mike,
McDonald and with him there's more and more talk and

(49:24):
chatter around the league about how he's going to be
a head coach sooner than.

Speaker 6 (49:27):
Later oh, YEAH i think he's the next round of,
fire especially if they have another year like.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
That did last, year and if if you go back
in time a little, bit remember The Detroit lions hard
Knocks Aaron glenn was a, start AND i don't think
that hurt his candidacy at. All, no, sir person personality,
wise can you sell it all those? Things dirtay's got
a great. Personality he throw the accent in working With mike,

(49:53):
McDonald i THINK i think he'll be fun to fun to.
Watch Jay harbaugh's a, character special teams. Coach we'll see
what that's all. ABOUT i love the fact that they've
got so Coach hammick is the running back coach he's.
Got he might be your king of red ass all,

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Me well and this is the one you've been looking forward, to,
right is coming on with.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Us absolutely getting roasted About Brian.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Wu, YES i, LISTEN i wasn't going to bring Up Brian.
Wu we got a lot to. TALK i was not
gonna BRING i was not going to go down The
Brian wu on the road against The dodgers last. WEEK
i was not gonna do, that And i'm still not
gonna do. That I'll i'll leave that for.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Now AND i want to hear what he thinks about
the trade deadline.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Week that's ALL i want to, Get. Joe let's go
back and we'll start even On, sunday The Trek scooble. Trade,
Actually scooba would be pitching tonight Against.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Seattle he.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Was this would have been his scheduled start for The
tigers are in town for the first of series with.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Them.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
UH i loved a line you had in, there because
we discussed this. Yesterday andrews and And chris And nathan
and myself talked about, this and you, said IF i
can from scrolling, up The dodgers didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Wrong.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
AGREE i agree with. You The dodgers didn't do anything.
Wrong yet everyone's. Upset let's walk us Through trek's.

Speaker 11 (53:12):
Scouoble, WELL i mean, again The dodgers not only did
that do anything, wrong they Got Tarek scooball in part
for two prospects who they'd gotten in trades with other.
Teams it's not even like The dodgers draft high and
get to take the first pick in the draft or.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Anything they got.

Speaker 11 (53:29):
Z i, Hear hope was a top fifty outfield prospect
they got in exchange For Michael bush a couple of
years ago Because bush was access to, requirements and then
five years ago should be four years. Ago they traded
For River Ryan Matt, beatty and very few people listened to.
This probably Remember Matt beattie was a left handed hitter
who played for The dodgers And padres for a little.
Bit so they're just Doing they just doing baseball better

(53:50):
than everybody, else which allows them to Trade ryan And
hope and a third round pick from last Year Brody.
Smith Brady, Smith Brodie smith one of them to get. Cool, well,
now this package was the best package for a rental
that we've seen in ten, years because teams aren't paying
a kind of prices for rentals. Anymore, So, no the
are trying to, win and, frankly we need more teams

(54:11):
like that because the other end of the, equation the
equation is The, tigers who were two and a half
out of a playoff, spot five and a half out
of the, division the best underlying numbers of anybody in the,
division and they traded their. Ace in, fact they treated
the top two starters With Casey. Butz we need more
teams trying to get into the playoffs rather than trading
away their best pitchers when they're on the brink of

(54:33):
a playoff.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Spot the message that is sent to me just from
an outside looking in and we'll get back to The
dodgers in a, second but the message being sent by
The tigers to their, FANS i don't think there's any
way you could come up with a worse, one like,
honestly like you're asking people to buy, tickets go to,

(54:54):
games watch games on, television listen on the, radio all those,
things and yet flat out you're not trying to. Win
that's that's the MESSAGE i.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
See AM i? Wrong no you're.

Speaker 11 (55:04):
Not and it's it's not just The, tigers it's The
marlins training one of their best. Hitters it's The rangers
spending yesterday looking to try to Trade jacob De dram
And Nathany. Evaldi there are just so many, teams The
oriels Training Aliy, rutchmans there are all these teams close
to a playoff berth who are, saying we would rather
play for next. Year look we have THE nba if
we want, THIS i mean this is that's where our
teams do. This FOR mlb teams to basically be rejecting

(55:27):
a decent shot of the playoff spot tells me we've
expanded the playoffs far too long because look, around the
teams don't seem to value those last couple of. Spots
the fans don't because if you just look at the,
crowds just look at the crowds in, teams in gay at,
games at stadiums where teams are fighting for a wildcard
birth and they're. Scattered they're not, drawing not the. Crowd
The marriagers did a couple of years ago on the

(55:49):
final weekend when they were on the brink and rally
at The Hill run and they had a whole bunch
of people. There but it's not until those last couple
of days that people start to show. Up did these
these this extra round of Pluffs Ian sea can bring
in that much television. Money you look at the current
deal that they, have it's gonna be ON abc and
it should BE. Nbc In, peacocks it's what seven hundred
thousand dollars a team per. YEAR i mean that's a

(56:09):
minimust salary. Player so they don't make that much, money
they don't dry fan, interest teams don't seem to care about,
them and they screw up the regular season because instead
of talking about good teams for the next two, months
we're gonna be talking about these teams that are around
five hundred to two. Months SO i just think it's,
LOOK i would have preferred to never expand the cloness at.
All i'm a regular season. GUY i wish the regular

(56:30):
season matter. Entirely but the last two playoff expansions in
twenty twelve to ten teams and in twenty twenty two
the twelve teams have completely messed up the game and
they aren't being greeded as being. Valuable SO i think,
teams LIKE i, said it's almost like THE nba where
teams have to decide do we even want to be
in the play in? Games do we even want to

(56:52):
be in the first round of a.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Playoffs, YEAH i, Think, yeah THE, nba this is VERY
i can think about in those. Terms but, yeah this
is very much AFTER i finished. Tenth my better off
having a play in game in THE, nba my better
finishing off twelfth in the in the, conference and Knowing
i'm gonna get a lottery pick with a good draft
pick coming.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
UP i mean.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
That but that's the, Difference, joe that that makes no
sense to. Me That, actually Now i'm thinking about, it
this is why that makes even less. Sense now THE
nba and THE, nfl you can change the trajectory of
a team with one draft, pick like like you get
a high draft pick in those two, leagues immediately they're
going to come in and start and health in THE

(57:30):
nba even more, impactful especially in today's, world where you're
gonna better look at guys because a lot of these
dudes are sticking around longer and, Say, Okay i'm gonna
draft this, dude or even if it's a freshman Of Darren, Peterson,
uh he's gonna change my. Team snap of the. Fingers
baseball doesn't have, That so what's the what's the motivation?
Here for baseball, Teams.

Speaker 11 (57:49):
Well the difference is the. PROSPECTS i mean because THE,
nba in THE, nfl you're not trading for minor league,
prospects whereas in baseball you can get a top fifty,
prospect which is somebody you expect to be an impact
player over the next couple of. Years by your hope
is probably going to be in The tigers outfield next.
Year r j And nimala was a top fifty prospect
The jays traded to The. Angels he's a little further,

(58:12):
away but you expect these guys to be very good
players and member IN, mlb the best young players make
a tiny fraction of what the best young player that
should be what the best older players. Do you're talking
about guys who are playing for two percent of their
market value for four. Years so the value FOR mlb
teams is to acquire a player like that who can

(58:33):
be you, know a guy who's going to make seven
hundred thousand to be worth five wins and then make
eight hundred thousand and be worth six. Wins you just
can't get that in any other. Sport there's just no
sport that has a gap between productivity and pay the
way a young baseball players.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Do joshian Joining, Us Josian, Newsletter joshian Dot. Com all,
right let's get back to The dodgers for a second
before we move. On they're trying to. Win people are.
MAD i think one of the things that made me
chuck all up, here, well this will be this will
be the thing that you, know gets a salary cap
to be put in, place and all those types of,
things AND i just, like, really this is going to

(59:10):
be the tipping. Point the fact, Is, joe you just said.
It twenty nine other teams could have presented a decent
deal to The, dodgers maybe, right and nobody else.

Speaker 11 (59:17):
Did, oh there's all kinds of nonsense out there, too
like the league made The tigers Trade schooble to The
dodgers to increase those. Conversations but, again you look at this.
Acquisition this acquisition had nothing to do with, money and
they took on me eight nine million dollars At schooble
as though the rest of the, year which any team
could have. Done the key was the, prospects and the
key to The tigers seemed to be the pitching. Prospect

(59:39):
The brewers had a package The rates had a, package
but The tigers wanted a controllable starting pitcher and they
got That River ryan in the, Deal so that seems
to have been the difference. Maker but there's a whole
kinds of stuff out, there as if prior to this
the owners weren't going to push for a payroll, cap
as if before this they were, like, yeah maybe We'll
because it's just a silly argument to. Make it's just absolute.

(01:00:02):
Nonsense it's just LIKE i, said this is about to
be the teams that aren't trying to. Compete everybody wants
to make it about The. Dodgers it's not about The.
Dodgers if we had Thirty, dodgers Thirty dodgers Thirty Mark,
walters Thirty Google heims Thirty Andrew friedman's the game would
be so much. Better we need more teams trying to
win as opposed to just trying to win next.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Year i'm trying to figure. OUT i believe that our
team here in The Great Pacific northwest In seattle is
trying to APPOINT i think what and what was the
term That crawford used? Yesterday they're two prospect.

Speaker 7 (01:00:38):
Huggers, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Prospect Huggy there are two, Prospects. Huggy they don't want
to get rid of, guys their prospects that they're in love.
With but at the same time they Added Taylor, ward
they got rid Of castillo and added a bullpen. Arm
what's your thoughts on What seattle.

Speaker 11 (01:00:52):
DID i don't think they're Prospect. HUGGY i think that
there were the market didn't match up with what they.
Needed Terren school is a great, pitcher but you already
have a great. Rotation like you, know people complaining here
In New york about The. Yankees yankees have six guys
and then have they already have four playoff. Starters they
don't really Need, school they needed. Bets they went out
and Got garcia And. Ramos and this is an. ISSUE

(01:01:14):
i think we talked about fourth marriagers where it's a hard.
Route it's a hard roster to upgrade because you have
a lot of average. Players your worst hitters are guys
you really can't. Replace you're not gonna bench Cal, Rally
you're probably not gonna Bench Josh. Naylor it's just it's
a hard roster to, upgrade and you, know the injury
To rally kind of open up the door and then
go out and get an outfield and they release Ref. Snider,

(01:01:35):
today The Taylor ward breaks THEM, ovp they Trind Festio
and REALLY i don't want to use the certain talent
term salary, dump because you, know The mariners have run
a roughly league average payroll median median payroll for a while,
now and it solves a roster issue as much. Anything
we've talked all summer about the oh they were gonna
piggyback and they were gonna go to a sixth. Minute

(01:01:56):
they really had been struggling with six healthy, starters you,
know such a horrible thing to have to go through
the six average healthy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
Starters my diamond are too, Tight, Joe my wall.

Speaker 11 (01:02:07):
Is filled with fifties and. Hundreds uh the the Uh
i'm stealing from? Friends that's a friend's.

Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
Lock.

Speaker 11 (01:02:13):
Uh this this team is a hard. One they're up
so you, know she could they have treated Lazarro montes for. Something,
yeah BUT i don't see where the fit was they.
Needed you, KNOW i guess they need a Big harry
batt and that really wasn't. Available, Garcia Louis. Garcia, uh you, Know,
Luisa riah's none of these, guys are you, Know Jodan
alvarez the kind of one forty ops type you really

(01:02:35):
want in the middle of your. Lineup SO i don't
have a problem with how they handled the, deadline you,
know like NEXT i think it does set up an
interesting winter because you've been talking about all these. Prospects
you talking about Having anderson And sloan coming, Through they're
gonna have to trade at least one starting. PICTURE i,
think can they use that to upgrade the? Offense you,
know next year they only have sixty four million in.
Commitments you throw on a couple of arbitration, Awards Gilbert,

(01:02:58):
kirby Maybe Brendan don and he's probably not gonna make
that much an, arbitration and you're talking about an off
season payroll of maybe one hundred and twenty million, dollars
not even, That so they're gonna have a lot of
room to maneuver this. WINTER i just don't THINK i
think they did what they could at the trade. DEADLINE
i still see this as the best team in the,
division And i'm going to be as stubborn AS i
can about. That but they're the only one of the
top three teams that hasn't that is outscored his. Opponents

(01:03:21):
they've got the best third order, record AND i still
think they have the best, roster.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
And they've got a track record of a couple of
Guys juleo. Specifically they do turn it on a little
bit as the season goes, on so we'll see if that.
Continues joshian JOINING Us Joshian. Newsletter, YEAH i. AGREE i
mean in terms of the roster. Upgrade Taylor. Ward they
bring him, In we saw watched him years IN. La
he's an interesting. Guy what's your read on a dude
that had almost forty home runs last season has no

(01:03:48):
power this year but leads the league and walks and
it gets on base at a very high.

Speaker 11 (01:03:52):
Rate it's such a bizarre change and. APPROACH i am hard. Pressed,
mean we will see this with older. Players their walk
rate will increase because it can't catch up to, anything
so they're basically sitting fast fall awating everything else go.
By excuse. Me and an increased walk rate used to
be a sign that a player was about to reach the,
cliff but What water is doing is something entirely. Different

(01:04:14):
he's walking what twenty percent of the. Time And i'm, sorry,
GUYS i had a stuff up. HERE i got to
put back to the. Page, yeah he's walking seven percent
of the. Time he's cut a strikeout rates, Though like
typically the thing you'll see is the strike out rate
and the walk rate, increase and the power will also stick.
Around this is like he's become a completely different, player

(01:04:34):
like you, Know Lance, lancaship if you remember the old as,
infielder a guy who's a lot of his game is
just drawing. Walks. Now it's funny because if you look
at last year in this year to two completely disparate.
Seasons last year he had a one to ten run
runs created, plus this year he has a weighted runs created.
Plus are we're producing the exact same amount of value
at the plate in two completely different. Ways it's really.

(01:04:57):
Fascinating that's a really big lucky riding split. Out yeah
they released restsiders. Today.

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
Yeah, yeah he's.

Speaker 11 (01:05:05):
Basically been traded for to do what Roth snider was supposed. To, Well,
Frankly Rob rethsnider had his entire career until fifteen minutes,
ago AND i Think ward is going to have a
lot of value in that. Role to end, UP i
think probably in a platoon type role once everybody's healthy
you've still Got donovan coming, BACK i think possibly the,
night and then you've got you, know rarely hopefully coming
back later in the. Month so A Donovan ward platoon

(01:05:27):
maybe floating around a couple of different. POSITIONS i think
it's gonna help the.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Team.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Really we think is out for the. Year by the,
way we just heard that.

Speaker 11 (01:05:33):
Today Oh i'm, SORRY i have that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Update yeah, no, no that's so that that does hit
can zone obviously in that mix as, well and we'll
see what they do With. Donovan, yeah he's expected. Back,
well we haven't seen a double. CHECK i haven't seen
anything yet in terms of.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
That about A royal two coming up pretty quick as.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Well, yeah so there's no got yeah, Options, yes go, Ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:05:51):
JOE i was gonna say, no this seems a lot
of talent. Coming But i've been losing really for the.
Year the guys you're getting, back the guys you can
potentually bring. Up As anders just, said this is this
team has more talent than the other.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Two why the hell Has houston not gone? Away then
they're surging instead of going away last?

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Night yeah they.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Are you know that you're In New york like that's
what they, Are like they just don't go.

Speaker 11 (01:06:13):
Away it's really kind of surprising because you look at
the the, ross you look at the. Rotation Peter lambert Tapsy,
ami who either gives up six runs in an inning
or throws six good. Innings they treated a way spencer
Of araghedy in like their fourth best starting. Pitcher they're
bringing some starters. Back how Theer Hayden westski just came
off the il or In, ablanco SO i think they

(01:06:33):
felt they had the depth to Traded. Araghedy but you,
know it's really still just four. Hitters but here's the.
Things since Getting Jeremy pania, back which was The june,
EIGHTEEN i want to say Did july Teenth, july they
are twelve and six when he, starts and if you
look at the overall, numbers he's basically having a no
More garsia par. Season AND i don't think we've noticed

(01:06:54):
for two. Reasons One Jodann alvarez is having a bait
ruth season and two he's been in and out of
line up with. Injuries but when he, plays The astros
are a great. TEAM i want to say it's thirty
seven and twenty eight when he's in the, lineup which
is still.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
Might be good math on.

Speaker 11 (01:07:10):
Air a ninety three win. Pace that's the kind of
team that they, have and that's even with not really
having an. Outfield they just traded For Dalton varshall, yesterday
so really it's a couple of guys in pain And
alvarez carrying the. Roster and you, KNOW i think in
another year they would have had to. Sell but because
so much of the middle of This American league is
just mediocre this, year it's created an opportunity for them

(01:07:34):
to be outscored by thirty runs and still be in first.

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
Place we.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
Believe josh And joshian. Newsletter we kind of were joking
or not, joking But Dean anders and were talking earlier about,
okay like if you're doing like the old power rankings
like we'll see in football year and just kind of
look at through The American. League you just said it
with the L, west you Think seattle is the best.
Team so based on the moves, yesterday let's just worry
about The American. League that's kind of what we care
about out. Here based on what the moves were, made

(01:07:58):
were not, Made what have you? Nothing built on? Standings
who are the best teams in The American league right.

Speaker 11 (01:08:04):
Now so if everybody was oh AND o, Today, yeah
who's gonna the best record from here to the end
of the. Year ye, Uh, Yankees, Mariners, Rays Red, Sox White. Sox.
NO i was gonna say The, tigers but they Traded madge.
Too the first Four i'm confident in and after, that,

(01:08:26):
yeah maybe The. Guardians they made a couple of decent,
pickups and we know that they can prevent. RHYMES i
don't know even with these pickups that they'll score them at.
All but there's a gap between after those first Score for,
ME i still believe in the. Talent, again we're talking
about oh and oh starting just TO i have The
yankees because of the, Pitching, mariners Raise Red, sox and

(01:08:47):
then there's a pretty big gap for me after The Red,
sox down to whether it's The, guardians whether it's The,
tigers The, rays The, rangers The, twins or The Blue.

Speaker 8 (01:08:56):
Jays The.

Speaker 11 (01:08:56):
Twins the Blue jays, ACTUALLY i mean they traded Bar
show And, gossman but they Replaced goffman With, soriano And
varshall wasn't having that good a. Year they're basically the same.
Team they were to say they actually beat The astros last.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
Night, yeah where would you put The astros in that?

Speaker 11 (01:09:09):
Mix they're part of that next group. DOWN i don't
believe in the, roster SO i guess i'd have to, say, uh,
okay let's do the next year. Down THEN i would Say. Guardians,
YEAH i Guess astros might be. Six BUT i JUST
i don't have a lot of confidence and it you,
know you can The twins made some, aditions Although buckston's currently.

(01:09:32):
Out uh, yeah, again The tigers had the. Offense they're
gonna Get Jackson joe back here at some point if
they Put River ryan into the rotation that basically replaces.

Speaker 4 (01:09:41):
Myz.

Speaker 11 (01:09:42):
YEAH i let's say before The maze, TRADE i probably
would have had The tigers as the fifth best team
in the league going, forward because, again you look at
the underlying numbers and that's what they've been so far this.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
Year, GOD i can't even imagine If i'm sitting there
In detroit right, now like that's just, honestly that's like
it's like, criminal like as you as you led out
for his, Show.

Speaker 11 (01:10:01):
So you, know we'll talk About the newsletter has a
slack site so everybody can go up there and talk
baseball all, day which is Why i'm incredibly. Unproductive and
the funny thing is The tigers fans on there weren't that.
UPSET i don't know if one of the guys a
locals was kind of explaining, that, hey, look the fans
here were kind of annoyed at Schoobl he'd lost a
couple of big games the last few. Postseasons he was gonna,

(01:10:23):
leave he was never going to, sign so they were ready.

Speaker 4 (01:10:26):
To be done with.

Speaker 11 (01:10:26):
It plus the team is under five hundred blah blah.
Blah so the IMPRESSION i get is that locally this
actually isn't going down as badly as you might, think
and it's mostly guys like me nationally are, saying what
the hell is a team two and a half out
games out of a playoff spot doing?

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Dumping so at the, END i, mean The, MARINERS i
feel really. GOOD i, mean listening to, you if you're
A mariner, fan you gotta feel pretty good about where
things stand right. Now after all the dust.

Speaker 11 (01:10:50):
Settles you, know team has been one of the best
teams in the league for three four years. Running NOW
i just think they've done a really good job of
building that pitching. Staff you, know you look at the
mid season, trades you, know getting At razarina getting nail
or getting cast. TOO i Think Jerry depoto was good
at his. Job could they spend more, money maybe a,
bit you, know because they spend the money. EFFICIENTLY i

(01:11:12):
don't know they've been brought along that you look. At you,
Know Cale young is quietly really having a phenomenal. Year you,
Know emerson's been up and. Down they've even got you
Mentioned edward orio is like just sitting there waiting to
be called. Up Not Nelson michael, o'yo excuse. Me Edwin
royo is the Former mariners prospect he was treated to
guess to you a thousand years. Ago it's just it's

(01:11:32):
a really good organization right. Now and, again if If
Aaron judge was, healthy If Roman anthony was, healthy If
Garrett crochet was, healthy The mariners would probably have to
be dipped down a. Bit but they've had their, Injuries
they're going to be getting guys, back AND i JUST
i just look at the roster and think they're as
good as anybody in that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
League tell folks about The joshian, newsletter which includes a
slack channel very, cool very.

Speaker 6 (01:16:12):
Minutes did you see the little sneak preview THAT hbo

It watched the thing AND i liked.

Speaker 3 (01:16:22):
IT i had the same, thing and that's actually. GREAT
i saw the.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
Tea's last week that they kind of put, out and
a lot of it was like old footage wasn't for
stuff we're gonna have this. Week but, YEAH i SO
i watched a little bit of, that But I'm i'm
kind OF i want TO i want to watch the
even worry stuff as it happens me, grantically so to.
Speak BUT i gotta actually make Sure lon knows HE'S
i talked To lund. Earlier i'm gonna BRING i bring this.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
Up we.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Are there's a thing The Pro Football focus and, listen
you know how MUCH i hate, lists, Right, Yeah LIKE
i just.

Speaker 6 (01:16:53):
Know even though you just Made joe list out the
best teams in The American league during the St, yeah
but that Was.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
Joe he's a he's he needs to do. That who's Got?

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
Earnest?

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
WELL i wanted, context the worth of The. Mariners, yeah
here's the context if you're and you. Had, yeah, Well
Pro Football focus for whatever it's worth, anymore since it's
kind of a shadow of its former. Stuff but they
did a list of the top coaches and they used
their their grading. System how do you grade a? Coach,
well it's it's basically how's your, offense your, defense all that,
Stuff and they did. It they did a list top

(01:17:24):
coaches in THE nfl and three of the four were
in this. Division of the top, four it was, McVeigh
Andy reid was, two and then it Was shanahan and.
McDonald huh like and and honestly all joking about lists,
ASIDE i don't think you argue, that and he Reads

(01:17:44):
Andy reids Won Super. Bowls he's A hall Of. Famer
it's the first ballot away you. Go, now he's Had,
mahomes but he also had success In, philly and he
had success With Alex, smith not the same level as
he had With. Mahomes, yeah but you, know McVeigh is
widely regarded as the guy And. SHANAHAN i, mean, hell
anytimes when he's a higher offensive, coordinator somehow he's attached To.

Speaker 6 (01:18:05):
Shanahan, Right, YEAH i would probably put McDonald above shanahans
as of, now at least.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
As OF i would only because he's our. GUY i
would then, argue IF i want to counter argue, that
look What shanahan did last year with that team as
beat up as they. Were here's the, point, though this
is the, Key, LIKE i don't think there's any argument
if you're going just in the top, four it's some

(01:18:31):
order of, McVeigh, reid, McDonald.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
Totally agree with.

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):
That, yes like just and BUT i don't think the
rest of the country knows at all Who mike McDonald,
is AND i think that is gonna be kind of
he's thank god he's under, contract probably extend that right
now today like an ownership coming. In but the guy
is just such a. Superstar he's been that way for
the three years he's been. HERE i, mean you basically

(01:18:56):
think about this winning records first, year Super bowl is second,
year and we'll see what the third year. Brings but
the only, problem the only lamb mind you have in
the third year is the fact you're in the division
with the two guys we just talked.

Speaker 6 (01:19:06):
About, well and that's the one thing THAT i think
kind of makes him a little bit lower in some people's,
list not, mine is the fact that he hasn't done
it for that, long, Right, yeah but his two years
that he's, had and especially if you go back to
his coordinating times as, well SO i think he'll eventually get.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
There and, now as you bring it, up WHEN i
think more about, it Like shanahano hasn't won A Super, bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
He is, not not even as a coordinator, Either so.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
Well that's well. Documented, yes, yes yes it. Is that is, well,
well well that's.

Speaker 6 (01:19:35):
WHY i would put him up because he's already gotten
above in terms of like that's the that's the, goal
right to win A super right, Right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
Now that that's what they.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Say Super bowls are. Good we'll take a, Break we'll come.

WELL i, mean it's it's kind of wild, that like you,

all that kind of. Stuff but the teams that say,
that it's, like it's not like The Madden, curse you
know WHAT i, Mean it's not like all everybody goes
on looks and it goes. On it's not like.

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
That, no what now were you were you working the
pre and postgame radio for the for The raiders then
when when they were on.

Speaker 7 (01:26:47):
It, no that WAS i.

Speaker 4 (01:26:48):
WAS i was already on The niners on that. Situation
but BUT i did go up to camps and, everything
just because you wanted to go up to those. Camps
and SO i went up there a lot because it
was In, napo which actually is closer to my house
Than Santa clair. Is SO i used to go up
there all the time During raiders. Camps and their camps
were more fun, Anyway their fans were more. Fun they
they they were Because Al, davis this is. Crazy Al
davis didn't let any fans. In. None he thought like

(01:27:11):
they were all, spies Like charlie and the chocolate, factory
like everybody's you, know whatever the other guy's name, was you,
know with The gobstoppers and all. That he's, like you,
know everybody's a. Spy and so So al never let anybody,
in not any. Fans and then the day he, passed
it was, like, okay everybody gets. In and so they
were doing barbecues up there and tons of. Fans there
were tailgating and like a. Hotel they stayed at A

(01:27:32):
marriott In napa and it was a big spa and
everybody would go up there and they'd buy rooms and
they they'd hang out with players and they'd barbecue out
in the parking. Lot it was. Crazy, so, yeah they
had a much more fun camp than what The niners.

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
Do what did The niners?

Speaker 4 (01:27:46):
Do?

Speaker 3 (01:27:46):
Now you?

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Know all are they at the facility which is next To. Levi's,
yeah see.

Speaker 4 (01:27:52):
It stinks because they used to be In rockland and
it would be you, know one hundred degrees and it
would be. Crazy but the whole town was taken over
by the forty nine ers in it was a lot of.
Fun and then when they built a new stadium that
you love so, much they and of course the substation
which makes everybody injured that Like Mike evans, now but
they they practice right next to. It they have a

(01:28:13):
bunch of fields right next to. It and then they
have you, know they don't practice in the in the
stadium or, anything but they have a facility right next
to the stadium and they practice on all those fields
and so they don't go anywhere for training. Camp so
it's really. Boring they do bring in fans like you
do there In, seattle but overall it's, like you, know
you don't go. Anywhere it's not, fun you, know anything like.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
THAT i, mean this one's this one was kind of
one of the unique things when it. Started Uh They
Mike holmgren was the, Coach Todd lightwickie who runs the,
track and Now Paul. ALLEN i remember we're sitting. Here
they had this news conference right WHEN i got. Here
it's like two thousand and, SEVEN i, think and we're
on the short like literally on the in the standing
in a mud pit next To Lake. Washington it was

(01:28:52):
like an old granite place or. SOMETHING i don't it
was just just as. Dump and they, said we're building
the facility here and we're gonna have practice next to
the lake and people are gonna fly in the floatplanes and,
watch and the fans are gonna. Build we're gonna build
a little thing all grass burm or like what the
hell is that and fans can come watch and we're, Thinking,
okay what does this? Mean and they open this thing
up and fans flocked in. Here there's two or three

(01:29:14):
thousand people wherever they can fit in here every, game every,
practice and they were one of the first teams to
kind of do, that like really open things. Up and
every player we've talked To john it's kind of interesting
and Even mike McDonald have all said the same, thing
like they like the fans. Here it gives them. Energy you,
know it's just a different. Vibe AND i HEARD i
Heard Jerry jones say that actually the other day too

(01:29:35):
about His they have theirs and what ox Near, oxnard?

Speaker 3 (01:29:38):
Right is that?

Speaker 4 (01:29:38):
What, Yeah i'm just gonna tell you That I've i've
covered that camp and it is it's a money. MAKER i,
mean it's sponsored by Bud. Light there's people. Everywhere they
invite other teams to go in and do a lot
of joint. Practicees so a lot of teams come, there
their fans come in there every, day but they're. Charged
they have they have, concessions they have, sales they HAVE i,
mean that thing is just you, know you Know, jerry

(01:29:59):
he's a marketing. Mission so it's not that he wants to.
Win he wants his team to be worth more than
he wants to make the most. Money so they Leave.
Texas WHEN i first was In, dallas they went To
San antonio and we're at The alamodome or, whatever and
nobody cared and so he's, like wait a, minute this is.
Stupid we're the. Cowboys and, so like you, said he
went out To auxnord and they they put on a
show out there every day and they bring in teams

(01:30:21):
and it's a big. Deal and that's Why jerry doesn't
like to do extensions too, early like On, pickens because
he wants to elongate that thing. Out and then Every
this is the craziest thing is that every, day you
know how obviously you know a camp or she talked
to certain guys, Ring jerry holds the session every day
and it's it's. Unbelievable and what's funny is he doesn't
run the. Team his Son stephen. Does But jerry gets

(01:30:42):
in the scrum in the. Middle how did you? Know
and he's asked a bunch of questions and It's, Yeah
auxtionnord is just. Crazy that's the craziest ONE i.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
WATCHED i watched his opening press conference last week before
training camp With Jerry, Jones Stephen jones And shoddy And
jerry talked ninety percent of the time and the Best,
yeah the best part was is eight guys were just you, know,
hey you, know this is a Super bowl, contender and
he's just, like this is the year we're Gonna he
started talking about using draft, capital you, know to to

(01:31:12):
go out and improve the, team and you, know people
started asking About Max crosby and he's, like, WELL i
can't really that's, tampering but, yeah we'll go do whatever
you can to improve the. Team and and he kept
raving and like this has been the story In dallas
through training camp is they're out like they're a Super bowl.
Contender And i'm, like are you? Nuts, like first of, all, like,
first first of, all you're in a division with a

(01:31:33):
team that's better than you Called. Philadelphia second of, all
have you seen THE Nfc? West like we'll point that. Out,
third you can't even figure out who your offensive line
is your left? Tackle isn't it just Like prescott's getting
hitt in practice every? Day i'm thinking to, Myself, Yeah,
jerry you but you keep telling people, that, Buddy you
just keep you keep telling like he's, Delusional, John he's

(01:31:55):
absolutely Doing.

Speaker 4 (01:31:55):
Yeah well think about what what you just did said
said there. Too it's not only the, division you, know
On John harbo's with The giants now and all these
kinds of. Things BUT i mean THE, nfc THE nfc
wes obviously the three teams we always talk. About then
you look at what's going on in The north and it's,
like you, KNOW i Think detroit's gonna bounce.

Speaker 11 (01:32:12):
Back.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
Chicago i'm a real big fan Of Ben. Johnson what
they're gonna. Do Green bay is going to be, There Matt,
lafleur you know that team's gonna be. THERE i, mean
and you haven't even gotten to where The cowboys. PLAY i,
mean that's just it. IS i kind of throw The
south out of there because they're gonna have, somebody whether
it be The panthers or the you, know or the
or The. Buck somebody has to make the.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
Playoffs somebody, has.

Speaker 4 (01:32:32):
Right but BUT i, mean, man there's six or seven
teams THE nfc where you just, go, man they could
be a, factor and there's always the surprise. Team and,
yeah it's it's it's. TOUGH i, mean you coming out
of THE, nfc it's a battle right.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
NOW i sent you THE i sent you a thing last.
NIGHT I i am the hypocrite of the just really
one of the great hypocrites of all. TIME i Am
manners will tell you THAT i don't LIKE i don't
like this. TRUE i think it's lazy sports. Radio it's
yazy Sports Aunt Rushmore, Russian, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:02):
Our, competition Those Mountain.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
Rushmoores BUT i did AND pf is kind of a
shadow of its former self. Now but it did catch
my attention yesterday that THING i sent you. That so
THE pff ranks the top coaches in THE, nfl AND
i think they're banging on three of the. Four so
it's it's in, order it's, McVeigh Andy, Reid Kyle, Shanahan
mike McDonald AND i just think about that for a.

(01:33:24):
Second first of, ALL i think we would all agree
that's probably a pretty accurate. List you can maybe shuffle
the order if you, want but that really doesn't. Matter
it's it's those three of the four are in this. Division,
like think about. THAT i, mean that's would you disagree
with that with that? Group?

Speaker 4 (01:33:40):
No and that's the thing, is you know there's lists
THAT i don't care. About in, FACT i. Stopped, yeah
but like the top one hundred or anything that Like STEPHEN.
A smith, says this guy says. This you, Know Ryan
clark used to, say, like that's WHEN i stop. READING
i just anybody like, that you know What i'm talking.
About pat McAfee, says like anything like, that IT'S i don't.

(01:34:04):
Care but when you start talking about executives and you,
start you, know things like What sando. DOES i think
What sando? Does didn't he just come about with quarterback? Tiers,
yeah but he goes and he talks to, People he
actually does. Work it's not some jackass who's just trying
to get a bunch of cheap. Clicks it's It's, sando
as he does every, year and he, does you, know
and that's. Legit those tiers are. Legit what people think is.
Legit so when you look at the when to go

(01:34:26):
back to your, question who would question? THAT i, mean,
Look Andy reid's in, there there's no. QUESTION i get.
It he's got pack From mahomes if you want to say.
That but he was really good In philadelphia. Too But Kyle,
Shanahan look If Kyle, shanahan heaven forbid that anything that
he had gotten further. Injured he's the most important element
of the forty nine ers bar. None it's not, party
it's not any. Defender it's not A, bosa it's Not John,

(01:34:49):
lynch it's not, ownership It's kyle and it would greatly
affect what the forty nine ers.

Speaker 3 (01:34:54):
Do he's really.

Speaker 4 (01:34:55):
Important it's the same thing With sean. McVay i think
what The rams have, done they're built in his. Style
and then you look at At mike, McDonald they are
built in his. Style and so that's what you have
to look at and, COACHES i think is that you
look at the team and, say you know the, guy
you know who he, is and then you see what
his team. Is it's almost like you know when you
see people and then you see their dog and they

(01:35:15):
look the. Same it's like they just are. That you
know they if you look at what Now seattle has.
Become And i've seen some of the clips just like
all you guys have on you, Know Hard. Knocks i'm
excited to watch it tonight because you know that just
that clip with em And, worry that's the big clip
that's come out. Already it's like that's just that's what
their team, is, man and you can see the trust
there and you know BY i know that McDonald isn't number,

(01:35:37):
one but damn, man he's gonna make if they have
a really good year again this, year if they don't
win The Super, bowl it's gonna be pretty darn tough
to not start looking at him as maybe the top on.
Defense he, is, WELL i.

Speaker 2 (01:35:47):
Think, Yeah and it's it's different because like McVeigh and
shanahanan offensive, Guys Andy, reason offensive. Guys so if you
just kind of look at it from that, STANDPOINT i,
mean is there a better coach in terms of defense in.

Speaker 3 (01:35:56):
The league than? Him probably.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
NOT i mean the other guys that are that you
would say are better than him or on his on
par all offensive. Guys and AND i, like what is
the latest On? Shanahan by the, way all joking, aside
is he? Progressing is he is he helping it? Practice
what's the latest on?

Speaker 4 (01:36:12):
Him he's staying far. AWAY i mean he's down, there you,
know and you know how it. Is you'll see coaches
in the, distance but you can't talk to. Him he's
not going to be. Interviewed Chris forrester is there acting
interim head, coach so after sessions people talk To Chris,
forrester But kyle's. There it's just he's in dark. Sunglasses
and far, away and he's not there every.

Speaker 3 (01:36:30):
Day.

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):
Now he may be behind the, scenes he may, be you,
know doing. Things but again with the concussion that he,
has you, know they the doctors don't want, him you,
know putting the intense you, know sleep on the, cot
be there till three in the. Morning he can't do
that and he knows. It and that's the you, know
all these coaches are like. That, man once this calendar,
turns just like we are as, fans you, know it's
like all of a, sudden it's, like, man it's football.
Season you, know these guys turn and they start. Grinding

(01:36:53):
AND i know that it's killing him that he's not
able to do, it but he just physically.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
CAN i, mean there's just there's no question that's going
to hurt that, Team like like just ask, me no.
Question like this is such an important type of the
time of the. Year John lone joining. Us all, right
so You're. Giants we appreciate the win last night Over
texas up here At.

Speaker 4 (01:37:16):
Seattle, yeah no, problem that enjoyed that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
Deadline what are people In san Francisc what are The
giants fans saying about The dodgers getting. School that's just
got to send them over the, edge doesn't.

Speaker 11 (01:37:30):
It.

Speaker 4 (01:37:31):
Yeah you know what's funny about that IS i WAS
i was doing my national show On saturday night and
There i'm glad you asked that question BECAUSE i kind
of had forgotten about it with all our football. Talk
but it happened like probably ten minutes into the show
THAT i was. Doing And i'm telling, you, dude from
coast to, coast The dodgers aren't the problem with. BASEBALL
i get, it but they're the face of. It Like
Barry bonds was the face of the steroid. Era it's just, Right,

(01:37:52):
okay they didn't do, it and they're spending money and
they're using the loophole to put everybody on a credit.
Card and, LIKE i get. IT i don't hate The,
dodgers but here's the problem with it from the way
the reaction. Was but first of, all from coast to,
COAST i don't care if it Was New, York, Boston, Baltimore, Minnesota.
Seattle everybody hate The, Dodgers hate The, dodgers hate this,
move hate you. KNOW i, mean people were. Pissed it
was by the, way for, me it was awesome BECAUSE

(01:38:12):
i was just a button pusher the whole, night And i'm, like,
Hey bob And, Boston Hey Steven baltimore or, hey like it.
Was it was like the easiest SHOW i everdy, Did
LIKE i hate The dodger like their. Mine but it's
just it's unfortunate BECAUSE i WAS i was saying this
the other, day AND i don't know if it applies
to The mariners as, much But i'll give you like

(01:38:32):
A giants, Example Matt chapman stinks big, Contract William domas
stink's big. Contract Rafael devers stink's big. Contract go down
to The, padres Right Manny machadow stinks big. Contract you,
Know bogart stinks big. Contract those those teams and you
know those teams have they make those kind of. Mistakes
like if you look at The dodgers right, now and

(01:38:53):
everybody thinks they're so. Great between a guy Like betts
who's got a six hundred ops and is making you,
know thirty five, million and he's thirty, Three Blake snell's hardly,
Played Kyle tucker's been a complete. Joke who they just
signed him to keep him away from other. Teams you
know they've Made they have five players on their team
that would be the ninth highest payroll in the. League
of the GUYS i just Mentioned Tyler, glass, now a

(01:39:14):
guy who's in two years has always. Hurt that would
hamstring all the other. Teams you would you could not
do business the way that you would continue to do.
Business The dodgers don't. Care so not only do they
have five bums on their team making about forty million dollars,
apiece but then they can go out and Get Tarrek,
skuball and not only go get, him they're going to resign.
Him and they have five major mistakes of guys that

(01:39:35):
would just they would cripple all the other teams In
Major League, baseball maybe outside The, mets who were just
a bunch of. Dopes but and then, people and then
all These the thing that bother would be the most
was led by like The Ken rosenthals of the, world, like, hey, hey,
fans it's not The dodgers'. Fault hey, fans why are
you so? Mad it's like talking to us like we're.
Kids they are ruining the. Sport the sport needs to be.
Fixed they're the face of. IT i DON'T i don't

(01:39:55):
blame them, generally but WHAT i just said is they
can make five mistakes at really high priced. Players The
mariners could never do. That if The mariners make one
mistake like a, contract that just blows up in their,
face it changes everything they. Do The dodgers can do,
THAT i don't, know five ten times and still go
out and do the things they do and it doesn't

(01:40:17):
affect their business. Whatsoever that's a, problem.

Speaker 2 (01:40:20):
WELL i, think and we talked to our Buddy joshina
And ARAGO i kind Of i'm kind of with him in.
This it's first of, All dodgers do what they can.
Do good for, them and if you're A dodger, fan
you gotta love the. Fan like to, me it's the
teams Like detroit and others that just aren't, Trying like
you're just not even you're not even gonna, try you,
know or the perception is you're not. Trying so a
guy Like scoobl's told, you, Yeah i'm not going to resign,

(01:40:42):
here you, KNOW I i, So so you kind of
get all those things kind of rolled into. ONE i,
mean at the end of the, day there's no salary
cap and every team's owned by a. Billionaire you can
sign whoever the hell you. Want you can spend what you, want, Right,
like you can do. That it's up to you as an.
Owner they choose to spend the. Money now, again they

(01:41:03):
have greater resources and revenue streams with their television and
immedia rights contracts anybody else not named The. Yankees but
they're able to do. That they've also done something that
we've seen in. Hockey they've built a culture of. Winning
and so, yeah that breaks that breaks all, ties, Right,
like like maybe you're gonna get offered the same one
hundred million dollar contract by TEAM, A b AND. C,
well If TEAM, a you, know is gonna WIN i.

(01:41:25):
E The, dodgers you're probably gonna sign. There and that's
that's the hard thing because once you get to that. Level,
yeah once you get to that, level you're you're like
you've got then you've got everything going on your. Side
things like a state income tax won't even matter to people,
anymore which LAST i, checked isn't not pretty, high and.

Speaker 4 (01:41:38):
That's at its thirteen point three the highest In, america which,
yeah that's that's not. Good but now you bring up
a great, point and, look don't confuse me with the
facts because and then NOW i have to say this is. That,
look they spend the most money In, asia they spend
the most money In Latin, america they spend the most
money in in in in all their minor league. Systems

(01:41:59):
they put the most money back into their their. System
they pay the most of their revenue on, PAYROLL i
think as LAST i, checked with seventy one. Percent they
do all those, things and they have the guys to.
Trade so it's not like they're just throwing a bunch of,
money because if that were the, case then The mets
would be, good and they're. Not so it goes beyond
just throwing money. Around but they they have like this
is this blows your mind when you hear. This their

(01:42:20):
payroll this year is second to The, mets and it's
all over three hundred million. Dollars, well they make that
in just THEIR tv revenue, money LOCAL tv revenue money
before they even take a dime from the National, so,
look they've got inherited advantages that you're always going to.
Have but as a, fan ALL i would try to
be looking for and you're not gonna be able to
do this. Exactly but The rams don't win because they're IN.

(01:42:42):
La The knicks didn't win THE nba title because they're
In New. York you, know they're they're well run, organizations
and you kind of have some balance. THERE i don't
know how baseball is going to get. There AND i
hate to say this because in twenty twenty, seven because
they're going to institute some kind of a you, know
a tap on the other, stuff and because the tapes don't,
work The dodgers like, whatever we'll pay any, taxes so

(01:43:03):
it can't be a tax. System but the problem is
what you just, mentioned the teams at the bottom they're
going to try to raise the floor. On and those
teams like The a's and The rays and the you
know and The twins and the smaller market teams are
gonna be, like hey, man you can't tell us what
we have to, spend and it's so, well, yeah we.
Do you. Know there's gonna have to be some give
and take here or we're just Not we're not going
to see that sport back for a long.

Speaker 2 (01:43:23):
Time i'll read one. Text our listeners love. Texting when you're.

Next now back To Ian ferness at The Virginia Mason
Athletics center and our special coverage Of seahawks training, camp
brought to you by The Boeing classic On sports three
kJ r F.

Speaker 3 (01:46:59):
M two oh.

Speaker 2 (01:47:02):
Six Shouldn't Hard knocks have a segment where femlnigs explaying
hardcore football stylf covered two cloud coverage on a. Whiteboard, yes,
yes that would have been good for absolutely should do.
That that would be in the, heart that would be
in The Hard knocks kjar version would be. That you,
Know hugh did that back when we did. That we
used to a charity thing h kjrkarzethon back in the,
day And hugh did like a whiteboard like a film

(01:47:25):
session for either The huskies or The seahawks might have
been one to beach massively, popular like sold out in a.
Second the only thing that sold out faster was When
puck AND i did The Georgetown brewery, tour where basically
just hung out and drank beer for four. Hours but,
yeah that was. GOOD i kind of wanted to go
to one of those things with, You BUT i THINK
i want to say it was a husky thing and

(01:47:45):
THAT i wouldn't like that unless it was The, tire
unless it was The tyrone, year THEN i would have enjoyed.
It Hardcore football coming this, fall we'll have that. On
it's a very popular segment we've been doing. FOREVER i
love doing it with you Every. Monday, ah let's see
what else we got going. On, uh Guaranteed line does
all his shows next to a. Substation, YEP i would.

Speaker 3 (01:48:07):
Agree, YEP i would. AGREE i would. Agree he got
a couple of talkbacks fire. Away CAN i have What joe's?

Speaker 12 (01:48:17):
Having what Is joe having?

Speaker 4 (01:48:19):
TODAY i want Whatever joe was.

Speaker 12 (01:48:21):
HAVING i think he's a little bit office rocker on The,
Mariners but whatever he's taking to make him so shiny
hapt on The, MARINERS i want it Because i'm not
feeling that at. All this team has shown me nothing
he's thinking about last. Year this is a whole new, Year.

Speaker 7 (01:48:41):
Joe this is this.

Speaker 12 (01:48:42):
Year his team's got.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
Nothing there's a lot if you missed, It, Joe shei in.
Earlier he's very bullish on.

Speaker 3 (01:48:49):
The, mariners just like he has A ryan Lou but
here's a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
Fans here not having. It it's. APPROVING i, mean they're
gonna go on a, run get going in first place
sooner than, later and then people are still gonna be mad.

Speaker 3 (01:49:03):
Out that's just the way it.

Speaker 4 (01:49:04):
Is.

Speaker 6 (01:49:06):
Wrong think there's, like do you think there's a larger
portion of the fan base that actually wants The mariners
to not? Succeed THEN i don't think there's a larger than,
not BUT i think there is a portion of. Them
yet WHAT i meant is larger than an other fan.
Bases it seems like that's the case to me at,
LEAST i.

Speaker 2 (01:49:24):
THINK i think there is a Very East coast feel
and mentality to The mariner fan. Base seahawks have unconditional. Love,
yeah unconditional Love. Mariners this they may as well be
playing In philadelphia with the way the fans are. Here,
actually you know, WHAT i think there's two teams like.
THAT i think The crack can fall into that, too

(01:49:45):
that we just want to find stuff. Wrong and The
seahawks on the other, Hand, now let's be, honest this
team's won Two Super bowls in the last fifteen, years.

Speaker 6 (01:49:55):
Right, so which is weird because the two teams that
haven't done anything are the ones that get to the
high expect all.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
Of a sudden and just get hammered by. People by the,
Way Jasam long touchdown pass From Sam darlf you got one?

Speaker 3 (01:50:05):
More uh, yes one? More talkback right, here.

Speaker 12 (01:50:10):
Guys The dodgers are not paying their. Players they're deferring
one point one billion. Dollars no other team is doing.
That it's, ridiculous it is. Laughable it is a. Joke
the system is, broken and the system will get. Adjusted
the system will get, fixed and there will be a salary.

(01:50:33):
Cap it will absolutely will.

Speaker 2 (01:50:37):
Happen what do you think is more likely to, Happen
andrews a salary cap In Major League baseball or The
marritors win the twenty twenty Six World.

Speaker 3 (01:50:47):
Series, Ooh mayors win The World. SERIES i. AGREE i
think this actually is because there's actually a chance of that.
HAPPENING i.

Speaker 2 (01:50:54):
THINK i, mean if you want to go just depending on,
who what where you want to, Look, yeah stats or whatever. Else,
yeah there's probably a twelve percent. Chance there's a zero
point one percent chance it's gonna be a salary. Cap all,
right here's what we're gonna. Do four nine four five.
