26
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: us on the ear, Brett boone, booney, how are you man?

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 5: H sounds great.

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 4: I think what happened is he may be pissed off

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 4: about the finishing third in the MVP because he's not there.

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: Let me know when you get that fixed, and we'll

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 4: get him on the ear. We got him on a

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: zoom compliment. Hey, I mean yeah, I mean if I

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: told you that your son became a professional baseball player

34
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: and finished third in the MVP race, would you take that?

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 5: Boonie? Do you have us?

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Now he's with us?

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 5: There, he is there, he.

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 6: Is safty, Safty? Does it make you feel better to

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 6: say third?

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 5: See, he told you he was mad at you because you.

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 6: Know I should have been first. Okay, it's not even

42
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 6: a discussion. First of all, I'm not too bitter, right.

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 5: Just so you know, that's great.

44
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: You love to bring it up.

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: That is a compliment that you finished third. The problem is,

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 4: we haven't had you on the air for like a

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: year because you've been jerking around playing the role of

48
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: the hating coach for the Rangers, and we couldn't have

49
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 4: you on the show, So we got to reintroduce you

50
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 4: to a brand new audience. But Brett Boone's back with us.

51
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: That's right, he's back with us. I'll be with us

52
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 4: again starting next Thursday, every week courtesy of INUA Kings

53
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: dot com. So let's talk about it, because we did

54
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: not have you on the year much last year at all.

55
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: You took the Ranger job like a month into the year.

56
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 4: What did you make of what the Mariners did last

57
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: season getting all the way to Game seven, eight outs

58
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: away from their first World Series?

59
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: And then what did you make.

60
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: Of all the moves Jerry made, ref Snyder, Donovan Jose Ferrer,

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: the reliever from the Nationals for Harry Ford.

62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 5: What'd you make in the last year or so of

63
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 5: Marion Baseball?

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 6: Well, last year when I was shoot, I hadn't been

65
00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 6: on the field in a long time, and I was

66
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 6: back in uniform, and I you know, I was there.

67
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 6: I got to play the Mariners twice. They came up

68
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 6: to us in Texas. We played in Seattle's kind of

69
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 6: weird for me being in that visitor's nugout. But you know,

70
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 6: over the course of the season, you take notes and

71
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 6: just mental notes and we'd play a series and it

72
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 6: didn't matter whether we won the series didn't win the series.

73
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 6: Teams on the other side, they they leave an impression.

74
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 6: And there were certain teams last year. You know, Dodgers aside,

75
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 6: Dodgers right now are just kind of the top of

76
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 6: the there the North Star Baseball right now, but Dodgers aside,

77
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 6: certain teams really stood out to me last year, one

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 6: being the Toronto Blue Jays, and not strictly for the talent,

79
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 6: but for the aura that they had. When I went

80
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 6: up to Toronto, man that place, it felt like Seattle

81
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 6: in the early two thousands. Something special was going on there.

82
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 6: I knew that talented team, but something beyond that. Played

83
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 6: the Phillies probably in June or July. Came away from

84
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 6: that series and I said, that's a team right there,

85
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 6: that's a really good team. The Brewers the way they

86
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 6: went about their business or real they had something special

87
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 6: as on the field presence where they just seemed like

88
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 6: they love playing baseball with one another. And then there

89
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 6: were the Mariners, and they were in our division.

90
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: Texas.

91
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 6: We had a lot of injuries down the stretch, a

92
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 6: lot of big, our big guys were knocked out.

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: We were holding on with about ten days ago.

94
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 6: We were one game out of the wild Card and

95
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 6: we just couldn't finish the deal. Mariners though, being in

96
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 6: our division, and I would never say this, you know,

97
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 6: when we were in the fight, but I would thinking

98
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 6: to myself, that Mariner team, if we get to the postseason,

99
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 6: if we find a way to sneak in there, I

100
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 6: don't want to face them. Because Mariners team was one

101
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 6: of those teams that stood out to me. Something about

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 6: that team and just so solid.

103
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: I thought. They went into the.

104
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 6: Toronto Series and everybody asked me, what do you think.

105
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 6: I said, Toronto special, something special going on. But Mariners

106
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 6: are a more talented team. I think the Mariners are

107
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 6: gonna win now. Toronto ended up winning it, going on

108
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 6: to the World Series, almost won the World Series, almost

109
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 6: beat the Dodgers. Uh, But the Mariners are one of

110
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 6: those teams and there was only three or four that

111
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 6: stood out to me all year on my travels through

112
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 6: you know, and I got to see pretty much every team,

113
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 6: and Mariners were there's something special.

114
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 7: You know, you lose a few cute key guys, you

115
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 7: lose Polanco, you lose a Eugenio Suarez. He's getting a

116
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 7: little older, but he hit forty nine home runs last year.

117
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 7: Came to you guys at the trading deadline. But there's

118
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 7: something special about Suarez, and I hear it.

119
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 6: We had Dan Wilson on the on the podcast last

120
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 6: week and he kind of just confirmed what my thoughts

121
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 6: were when I watch Eugenio and how he interacts with

122
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 6: his teammates. He's he's kind of a rock over there.

123
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 6: He's a big presence in that clubhouse. I think you're

124
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 6: gonna miss that. But coming over you got you got

125
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 6: some pretty good guys, like you mentioned at the top,

126
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 6: Ferraur to go into the bullpen. Donovan is going to

127
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 6: take over at third base. The second base when I

128
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 6: was looking, had a great spring, hit six home runs

129
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 6: young and I'm just waiting. You know, I don't think

130
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 6: you can sit around and cal Rawley, what he did

131
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 6: a year ago is still just amazing to me. To

132
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 6: play that position and to hit sixty homer is it.

133
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 6: It's not like you're playing in the small stadium. You know,

134
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 6: T Mobile's not what it was when it before they

135
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 6: moved defences, but it's still a legitimate statem. For him

136
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 6: to hit sixty is pretty much unbelievable. So I don't

137
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 6: think you can count on that every year. But he's

138
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 6: gonna be that thirty forty guy. Is this the year

139
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 6: that Julio as great as the beginning of his career

140
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 6: has been. And he is a true talent. When you

141
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 6: watch him, he's just nothing he can't do. Scary thing

142
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 6: is if he ever really puts it all together and

143
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 6: he wins that MVP.

144
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: That type of player, how good are they gonna be?

145
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 6: I mean, you're surrounded with great player Crawford up the

146
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 6: middle of Rose Arena, there's just Naylor. They added Naylor

147
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 6: coming over last year. It's just they're so good and

148
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 6: that rotation that's kind of been there for the last three,

149
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 6: four or five years, it's as solid as anybody went healthy.

150
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 6: I know Miller's out and he's going to come back.

151
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 6: WU was in particular, was very impressive. When I watched

152
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 6: him up up close and live face our hitters. I

153
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 6: just thought Gilbert's nasty. Castillo is no walk in the park.

154
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: You know, Kirby's Kirby. But I don't want to face

155
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 6: that Wu guy. I mean, Wu is nasty. So these

156
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 6: guys are just really good munnos and brash at the

157
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 6: end of the game. For me, that ala, you know,

158
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 6: all due respect to the Al East, because I think

159
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 6: they're gonna be a real tough division. Right That Seattle

160
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 6: Mariner team for me is as good as anybody in

161
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 6: the American League, and I might say the best team

162
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 6: in the American League. Can they put it put it

163
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 6: all together? Can they stay healthy? If so, I'll put

164
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 6: them against anybody.

165
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 8: Well, you ended there talking about the rotation, and let's

166
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 8: stay there. I mean, we were wondering who was going

167
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 8: to be the opening day starter. We found out it's

168
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 8: not going to be Brian Wu. But was Wu the

169
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 8: toughest guy when you were watching film and getting your

170
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 8: hitters ready for the Mariners?

171
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: Was was he.

172
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 8: The guy that you were like, this is the guy

173
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 8: we don't want to face more than any of the

174
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 8: other guys.

175
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 6: Absolutely, wow, And I'll tell you this, there is a

176
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: lot of respect out there for that entire rotation. Believe me,

177
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 6: facing Gilbert is no walk in the Park, and those

178
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 6: guys will tell you. My hitters would tell me they're

179
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 6: all tough, Brett, but this Wu guy something extra, something

180
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 6: extra with that late life on his fastball, and I

181
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 6: just watched him and I went, now, I.

182
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: See what they're talking about.

183
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 6: So that was the kind of the underlying theme with

184
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 6: the position players, with the hitters was yeah, we don't

185
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 6: want to face any of them, but if we had

186
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 6: our if we had our pick, you can leave Wu

187
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 6: out of the rotation.

188
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was that was the kind.

189
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 6: Of the the overwhelming theme that I heard from the

190
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 6: players that had to go out there and do it.

191
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 6: Wu was the guy that nobody wanted to face. And

192
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 6: I didn't just hear it from Texas Rangers hitters. I

193
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 6: heard it kind of whispers throughout the league.

194
00:08:59,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: Right.

195
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 4: Well, Brett boos with us now back on the radio show.

196
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 4: He's got an appearance on Thursday for opening Day at

197
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 4: the tulilap Up in Marysville, and then he'll be on

198
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: with us every Thursday starting next week, courtesy of our

199
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: friends at Venue Kings dot com. So, I mean, look,

200
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: the obvious questions are health. You know a lot of

201
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 4: guys banged up in the rotation a year ago. As

202
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 4: you know, tons of guys missed a bunch of games.

203
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 4: But then Polanco's gone, right. I mean, I realized that

204
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 4: you got Brendan Donovan now at third, much better defensive

205
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 4: option than Polonko was. That was a disaster last April.

206
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 4: Took him like a minute to realize they'd made a

207
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 4: mistake there. But are you concerned that they have not

208
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: replaced Tore Polonko's numbers from last season?

209
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 6: No, I'm really not, because I look at it.

210
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: I think the other guys are going to just get better.

211
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 6: And Julio's the one that just glares to me, when

212
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 6: is he going to really kick it in? And we're

213
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 6: going to be talking about Julio like we're talking about Akunya,

214
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 6: not from a talent perspective. He the talent's there, It's

215
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 6: obvious to anybody that watches him on a regular, regular basis.

216
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 6: But when is it going to click where he's just

217
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 6: going to be And I hate to say that because

218
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 6: he's had some great years and he's only twenty four

219
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 6: years old, But I'm talking certain guys. You have higher

220
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 6: expectations for an Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffy junior Julio Rodriguez.

221
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 6: When is he going to get to that level where

222
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 6: it all if that, if that happens, wow, they're that

223
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 6: much better. He's already great, but when he gets to

224
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 6: that status, and I think it's coming. I mean, that

225
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 6: much talent you can't keep mottled up. And I think

226
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 6: he's on the brink having one of those years where

227
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 6: you just look at his numbers and go, wow, that's

228
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 6: the Julio that that everybody forecasted when he was twenty

229
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 6: years old. So I think that's coming. I don't worry

230
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 6: about the Polanco Polanco moving on. You know, two years

231
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 6: ago you're sitting there thinking, wow, was it a good

232
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 6: idea to bring Polonco back? You know, all of a

233
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 6: sudden he has a really great.

234
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Year for you.

235
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: Sure, awesome, right, take that as a plush.

236
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 6: You got what you got, and he's moving on. He's

237
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 6: I don't know how old Polanco is now, thirty five?

238
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 6: Can you expect him to replicate keep continue to replicate that?

239
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: For me?

240
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 6: From my from my experience, I can't so great, did

241
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 6: a great job for the Mariners, had a really good

242
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 6: year for him last year. Moving on, No, I don't

243
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 6: worry about that Suarez. That's forty nine homers. I know

244
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 6: we didn't hit them all for the Seattle Mariners, but

245
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 6: he hit forty nine homers last year. That's gonna be

246
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 6: I worry more about replacing the Suarez from a personality standpoint,

247
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 6: and it's just I've never met Suarez in person. I've

248
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 6: never had a conversation with him. But that's just kind

249
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 6: of the overwhelming theme. You know, you talk to players, Yeah,

250
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 6: Suarez is what keeps them together, and you hear that

251
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 6: from other players, and I worry about that chemistry in

252
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 6: the clubhouse with him being the center point versus Polanco

253
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 6: moving on. But I think you got some good players.

254
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 6: And I was looking at the spring numbers. Donovan had

255
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 6: a great spring. You know, hit over four hundred spring training.

256
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: Spring training. We talked about it a lot.

257
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 6: It's really doesn't matter what you do, but it's nice

258
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 6: when you have a good spring. It's nice to be

259
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 6: feeling good, especially coming over to a new ball club.

260
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 6: Having a good spring always helps. Not the most important thing,

261
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 6: but it always helps. I think this team's got plenty

262
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 6: of firepower, plenty of places where they can beat you

263
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 6: on the offensive side, and They're still going to be

264
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 6: a pitching oriented team. They're still going to be pitching,

265
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 6: pitch and pitching. How good they're going to be is

266
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 6: going to be that rotation, and that rotation one through five.

267
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 6: Once Miller gets back, I know he's fighting that oblique.

268
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 6: They're as good as anybody. I can't say it enough times.

269
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 8: Well, Boonie, I think the most intriguing pickup, and you

270
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 8: alluded to it, is it was Brendan Donovan and he

271
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 8: didn't have a good series against you guys this year.

272
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 8: He went one for eleven and you guys got him

273
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 8: two out of three games when you played him. But

274
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 8: now he's a top of the order guy and the

275
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 8: Mariners haven't had a true leadoff hitter in a long

276
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 8: long time. So in a little bit of Champce, you've

277
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 8: had to see Brendan Donovan. What do you think we're getting.

278
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 6: I think you're getting a really good player, you know

279
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 6: that really doesn't have to come here and do too much.

280
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 6: He's got to pick it up at third but really

281
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: shore up the defense at third base and do what

282
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 6: Brendan Donovan does. What do he hit last year? I

283
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: think he hit too eighty, didn't he.

284
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 9: Said, hit two eighty seven.

285
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a really good player that

286
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 6: too many players nowadays hit two eighty seven. He's a

287
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 6: guy that just needs to come in. Not worry about

288
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 6: you've got enough star power. You got enough guys are

289
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 6: going to hit the ball out of the ballpark in

290
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 6: that in that lineup, just do what Brendan Donovan does,

291
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 6: play solid defense at third.

292
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: Fit in. He's gonna be great.

293
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 6: I don't think you can sit here and say we

294
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 6: got this big All star get No, he's a really

295
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 6: good player. But I don't think he has to do anything.

296
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 6: He needs to come in and just fit in and

297
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 6: play his game at the top of the order. I

298
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 6: think he got yourself a really good player.

299
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, Brett Boone's with us on the radio show.

300
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: I guess the one question a lot of people just

301
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 4: have is have they done enough to close the gap?

302
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 4: And I mean, how do you close an eight out gap?

303
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: I mean, just play again?

304
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 9: Well, Brett said, we were more talented than the team

305
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 9: that beat us.

306
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 5: Just do it again.

307
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 6: Absolutely. I think what separated the Blue Jays last year

308
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 6: they put the ball in play. That's that's something we're

309
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 6: losing sight of. In today's game, and it's not just

310
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 6: it's not just in the AL or n now, it's

311
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 6: it's all over.

312
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: It's that's not a priority. That's not kind of.

313
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 6: When you go when you're working on your game, the

314
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 6: thought isn't, oh well, I got to work on my

315
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 6: strikeouts this year. Nobody thinks about that anymore. Toronto Blue

316
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 6: Jay's above and beyond everybody else last year were tough outs.

317
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 6: Two strikes, they were tough outs. I'd watch them with

318
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 6: two strikes and you'd go up and down that lineup.

319
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 6: They all had a different approach with two strikes, and

320
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 6: that's rare in today's game. So but I think from

321
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 6: a talent perspective, the Toronto Blue Jays can't play with

322
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 6: the Seattle Mariners just strictly from a talent perspective, so

323
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 6: I think I don't think they had to close the gap.

324
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 6: I thought they're the best team in the AL left right,

325
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 6: But it doesn't matter. It's it's the playoffs and the

326
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 6: new format. It's an awesome format. I don't think I've

327
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 6: been disappointed once since this new format came in. It

328
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 6: seems like there's always awesome series and leading up to

329
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 6: the World Series, I thought last year's World Series maybe

330
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 6: the best I've seen since my childhood. I'm a little biased.

331
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 6: I'm going to take that nineteen eighty Philly team that

332
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 6: my dad was on. That one at all is my

333
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 6: favorite of all time. But I don't remember seeing a

334
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 6: better World Series than a year ago. So not necessarily

335
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 6: every year just because you're the best. Look at this

336
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 6: World Baseball Classic, which was awesome. I think it's the

337
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 6: most unbelievable thing you could do for the game of baseball.

338
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 6: But does the best team always win?

339
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: No?

340
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 6: Venezuela. Venezuela was really good. Are they really truly more

341
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 6: talented than that USA team? There's a lot of arguments

342
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 6: that can be made for that. So I don't think

343
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 6: the Mariners need to do anything that last year was

344
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 6: a real positive thing. They got deep, they got one

345
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 6: game away from going to the World Series, and they

346
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 6: just collected a lot of experience from that that roster

347
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 6: because going into that postseason, there weren't too many guys

348
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 6: on the Mariners that had that postseason experience. You look

349
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 6: at it, yeah, Rose Arena did, but you look up

350
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 6: and down that lineup, up and down that rotation and

351
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 6: that bullpen.

352
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: How much experience was really there.

353
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 6: Well, last year they found out they were one game

354
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 6: away from the World Series, So that experience is going

355
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 6: to be big for him this year.

356
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 8: And you got another guy that's got playoff experience in

357
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 8: ref Snyder. This is a guy that has a nine

358
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 8: to fifty oh ps over the last two years against lefties.

359
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 9: I mean, what do you like about what you've seen

360
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 9: from He's been in the league for ten years.

361
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 6: He's just a guy that keeps He's like he's like

362
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 6: a Donoman. He stays under the radar, does what he's told.

363
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 6: He's kind of a joh Peterson. Now I don't want

364
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 6: to I don't want to put it out. You know,

365
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 6: Josh Peterson probably had the worst year by far he's

366
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 6: ever had, but he just does what he does. He

367
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 6: hits right handed hitters in this particular situation, he hits lefties.

368
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 6: A guy that just can can contribute in a lot

369
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 6: of ways.

370
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: Well, body, before you go, we got to ask you

371
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 4: about maybe the biggest story of the offseason, which was

372
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: Randy Rose Arena hates Cal Rawley, all right, and they

373
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: came it as funny. Hang on a second. Randy came

374
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: out the other day and said we spoke. I said

375
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 4: I was sorry, He said he was sorry. I don't

376
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: think Cala needed to apologize. I don't think either one

377
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: of them really, I mean whatever, right, Like they're all

378
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: fired up, they're playing for the countries, they're they're competitive,

379
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. I thought it was a positive in

380
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: some ways, But just watching that whole thing from Afar,

381
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 4: what did you make of that little snap foo that

382
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 4: hubbub between.

383
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 6: I thought it was nothing at first. I thought that

384
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 6: he was just kidding. I know that they're not like

385
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 6: these mortal enemies. Don't you dare say hi to me?

386
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 6: I think it's a little weird these days. I mean

387
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 6: I wasn't much of a talk to my to my

388
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 6: opponent guy, but I'd walk up first and bad of

389
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 6: a new series, and I'd tap you on the shin guards.

390
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 6: That was my way of saying, hey, how you doing?

391
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 6: All right, let's go.

392
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: Today's a little different.

393
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 6: He's looking for a handshake, a fist bump, and Raley

394
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 6: wasn't having it, like, no, man, i'll see you, I'll

395
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 6: see you.

396
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: In a week.

397
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 6: When I had Danny on the podcast, we were talking

398
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 6: about it, He's like, you're not gonna ask.

399
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: Me about that or did you know.

400
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 5: Asked him anyway?

401
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: I did.

402
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 6: Me and Danny we got traded for each other. There's

403
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 6: certain there's certain uh privileges I give to guys that

404
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 6: I got a big history with. But you know it's

405
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 6: I knew it wasn't a big deal. I knew the

406
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 6: media was going to run with it. Well, A Rose

407
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 6: Arena comes out and has that, you know, it all

408
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 6: had to be translated for me.

409
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: But he has that that uh.

410
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 6: That press conference afterwards where he's you don't know whether

411
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 6: he's kidding, whether he's playing. You don't know if it's

412
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 6: a big joke. Behind the scenes. I saw in the

413
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 6: next game Naylor went up and I think he was

414
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 6: poking fun at the whole a Rose Arena Raleigh thing.

415
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: So Naylor went up and tried to do it. Uh.

416
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: But it just goes to show.

417
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 6: I mean, when you get those guys in that situation,

418
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 6: if A Rose Arena really was angry about that, and

419
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 6: I still don't know, I still don't know if it

420
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 6: was a joke. That's still going and they haven't let

421
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 6: us in on it. But when those guys get in

422
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 6: the clubhouse, I mean, the other guys are going to

423
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 6: be getting getting on him and saying, oh, what are

424
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 6: you doing?

425
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: A rosa oh rally? Come on, you know, it's just

426
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: guys being guys. And I would say that's.

427
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 7: Long gone long in the rear view mirror.

428
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: Now, no big deal. But it was. It was, Uh,

429
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: it was good theater.

430
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 9: Brett finally before he let you go, how many wins

431
00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 9: and how far do they go?

432
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 5: Real quick?

433
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 6: I think they win the division. I think they're the

434
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 6: class of the division. So they win the division. It's

435
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 6: gonna take ninety two games. They stay healthy. I think

436
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 6: they're going to the World Series.

437
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 5: Okay, win it or lose to the Dodgers.

438
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: Man, that's hard. And wait, you haven't got my nationally yet.

439
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 6: I don't even know if I'm gonna pick the Dodgers.

440
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 5: Give us and who wins the World Series?

441
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 6: So you got go to the World They go to

442
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 6: the World Series, they do not win the World Series,

443
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 6: they lose. Who the National League team is going to be?

444
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 5: I don't know pick one.

445
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: Come on, Philly, Philly, all right.

446
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: Ninety two wins, lose to Philadelphia. You're on record, and

447
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: it might be I might go.

448
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 7: I might.

449
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 6: I'm gonna shoot a little higher ninety four wins wins. Yeah,

450
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 6: they're SERI of real team City of Seattle. You got

451
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 6: yourself a real team there.

452
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 4: Right, Well, I just I'm on this text straight with

453
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 4: these guys. We're all making predictions on wins, Ky Rowley

454
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: home runs. By the way, this may be a bad

455
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 4: thing for you because I just picked ninety four like

456
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 4: five minutes ago. So we'll see ninety four wins lose

457
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: to Philadelphia in the World Series, says Brett Boone.

458

00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 5: What the hell? Man, save you some money? And you're

528
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 5: like saving money? Why not?

529
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 4: So good for those kids. But uh, and they played

530
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 4: well against Darkans, so I just kind of ran.

531
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 5: Out of gas.

532
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, they did. I mean we need I agree

533
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 9: with you.

534
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 8: I think I'm not a big fan of the long runs.

535
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 9: Of the Cinderellas.

536
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 8: I did not like the San Diego State FIU Final

537
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 8: four terrible, But I do like a high point getting

538
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 8: into the sweet sixteen, maybe one or two of them,

539
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 8: and then they and then that's good, you made your run,

540
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 8: you had, you made your story. And then let's get

541
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 8: the big boys. Now we've got all big boys in

542
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 8: the sweet sixteen. I would have wanted to see a

543
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 8: couple of these mid majors. I just don't know if

544
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 8: we're going to see many mid majors in the sweet

545
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 8: sixteen and beyond anymore.

546
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: Right, well, here's the thing, so two things. Number One,

547
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 4: the ratings were great for the first and second round.

548
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 4: Number Three, I know we talked about this earlier with Gonzaga,

549
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: how dann Mark James made me defend them over the weekend,

550
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 4: which I will never ever forgive him for that.

551
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 5: That's number one.

552
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 4: Number Two, Tommy Lloyd, who is now the coach at Arizona,

553
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 4: who is with you for how many years?

554
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: I got a decade plus? If not long?

555
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: Is there?

556
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 9: Basically fuse whole time.

557
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 4: He came out and said that teams like Gonzaga might

558
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 4: be in trouble.

559
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 5: So there's there.

560
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 4: I mean, the question about Gonzaga is have they been

561
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: a failure and then what will happen starting now? I

562
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 4: mean different, they have not been a totally different conversation.

563
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 4: I like to crap on Gonzaga. I can't do that,

564
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 4: but I think he's right that without them having a

565
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 4: bunch of money to spend on nil if Gonzaga's goal

566
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 4: is to win a national championship. They can't just rely

567
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 4: on recruiting and history and coaching. Now they're gonna need money.

568
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 4: And I saw a thing on Twitter and I thought

569
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 4: that I had liked it or bookmarked it, but I

570
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 4: can't find it where Like the top ten eleven schools

571
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 4: in America are spending nine, ten, eleven, twelve million bucks

572
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 4: a year on their payroll, while Gonzaga is spending like four.

573
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 5: That won't be enough. It won't be enough.

574
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: So the point is, and Dick even brought the sub

575
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: Jackson off the air, Gonzaga's run, as we know it

576
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 4: might be over. It might be over, like they're shots

577
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 4: at national championships may have died against Baylor in North Carolina.

578
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 9: Let's just look at who they had on those teams.

579
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 8: I mean, they had Nigel Williams goss a five star.

580
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 8: They had Demanda Simonas who was a walking double double

581
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 8: in the NBA right now. They had Simi Karnowski on

582
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 8: that team, and those were Tommy Lloyd recruits. And then

583
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 8: their second NCUBA tournament team, fire a second championship team

584
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 8: Jalen Suggs five star, Chet Holmgren five star. I mean

585
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 8: they were a national recruiting base with these five star

586
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 8: players that Tommy Lloyd brought in.

587
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 9: Now you have no Tommy.

588
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 8: Lloyd, and you also have no ability to pay a

589
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 8: kid six million dollars if your payroll is only four

590
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 8: or five for a team.

591
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, well you know it's too bad.

592
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: Man.

593
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 4: Sorry, windows over, windows closed. I'd play the Grim Reapers,

594
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 4: but I don't have it. There is I found it.

595
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: What you were looking for is I was looking for this.

596
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 5: Okay?

597
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 9: Literally were doing back there?

598
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: Keep going, keep going, keep going.

599
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 8: I mean they're going to be They're gonna be fine

600
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 8: as far as winning conference championships and going to the

601
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 8: n c Double Tournament and winning a game or two

602
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 8: in the NCAA Tournament, but getting past the sweet sixteen

603
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 8: is going to be very, very difficult for them.

604
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 5: We've ever done, keep been going.

605
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 4: The world's smallest violin playing right now on the radio show,

606
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 4: I'm not even that.

607
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 5: Much of a.

608
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 4: Really is too bad. But here's the problem, though, Jackson,

609
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 4: what are we gonna do now? I mean, they're not

610
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 4: going to be a factor. If the Huskies aren't gonna

611
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 4: make the tournament.

612
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 9: Which they will still be able to root against.

613
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 4: The idea of them falling flat on their ass when

614
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 4: they're supposed to win the national championship. You don't have

615
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 4: It's not gonna happen you're supposed to do.

616
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 9: You're not gonna have one and two seed Gunzagas to

617
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 9: hate again.

618
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 11: You know, you know what this is like, This is

619
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 11: like when the you know, what are you gonna do?

620
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 12: Now?

621
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 5: Anger some people.

622
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 11: This is when the Cougars went off to their little

623
00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 11: conference and we I know, but being like a lot

624
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 11: of people.

625
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 5: And that's fine, But the.

626
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 11: Reality is, like, like the rivalry and I think Cougar

627
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 11: fans would also agree the rivalry there has completely.

628
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 5: Changed with the dogs. Yeah, oh yeah.

629
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 11: And I think like the way we look at WSU

630
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 11: in a random X y Z game.

631
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm gonna say it. I kind of want.

632
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 11: The Coupars to win every game. That doesn't really already

633
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 11: admit that.

634
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 4: And that's so and that pisses Cougar fans off that

635
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 4: we're rooting for them.

636
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 11: Now that's the thing like for me, like I don't

637
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 11: have as big of an issue for Gonzaga if it

638
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 11: doesn't affect the Huskies whatever, for the Cougars, if it

639
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 11: doesn't affect the Huskies.

640
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 4: Whatever, you guys know, do you guys know my take

641
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 4: on Gonzaga. My biggest problem with Gonzaga is people that

642
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 4: just think that because I'm from Seattle, I should be

643
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 4: rooting for them, which is freaking nonsense. They're three hundred

644
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: miles away. They have nothing to do with the city

645
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 4: of Seattle at all, none, zero. There's probably more Duck

646
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 4: graduates and Beaver graduates and Sea that there are Gonzaga graduates.

647
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 4: So every year the newspaper of record in this town,

648
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 4: which by the way, is becoming more of a piss

649
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 4: pot by the week.

650
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 5: That thing.

651
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 4: Okay, honestly, put them on the front page, like they're

652
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 4: down the fricking road. Get out of here with this nonsense.

653
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 4: So look, Dick, you know what, I understand it. You

654
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 4: love them, that's fine, But I'm like you, I'm worried

655
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 4: about their future.

656
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 5: Yea, in this new era.

657
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 8: I'm being realistic, yes, and I'm keeping it real and well.

658
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 8: In this year, I wasn't at all devastated by what

659
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 8: happened to them in the tournament because this was maybe

660
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 8: like the eighth best Gonzaga team of the last eight years.

661
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 4: Oh you know what, Pal you just showed me how

662
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 4: big of a Gonzaga fane you really are. Because unless

663
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 4: you're a big fan, you'll never be devastated by anything

664
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 4: a team does. You're a big fan, Just admit it.

665
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 4: Will have pleased for Christ's sakes, admit it that you're

666
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 4: a big fan. You're a die hard Gonzaga fan.

667
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 5: Die hard.

668
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 4: Please, I'm begging you once before this run comes to

669
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 4: an end, can we have this moment together?

670
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 8: I mean, I've told me exactly how I feel in

671
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 8: many times.

672
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 4: Say it.

673
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 5: My name is Dick and I'm a diehard Zags fan.

674
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: Say it.

675
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 7: Say it.

676
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 4: Say I'm a big on Zaga fan. Can you just

677
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: use big die fan? Can you use the word die hard?

678
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 4: Say say diehard diehard? I don't read dollar in my word.

679
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: Am I a diehard fan?

680
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 8: Because if there's never had any there's never be any

681
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 8: hard times. You're a diehard has not had a hard

682
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 8: time since nineteen ninety seven, when I started becoming a fan.

683
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 9: It was thirty years ago.

684
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 4: You're promising me the minute Gonzaga falls apart, you'll jump

685
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 4: off the way.

686
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 7: I don't know.

687
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 9: I'm sure I won't be as big a fan.

688
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 4: Wow, all right, Well, that's good. That actually makes me

689
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: feel a little better. The fact that you are admitting

690
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 4: that you might just say the hell with it?

691
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 9: Isn't it crazy? That part a year of hard times

692
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 9: to even know in thirty years.

693
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 4: I'm glad to know that you're not that big of

694
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 4: a fan that you'll still room for him when they suck.

695
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 9: Thank God, we'll just have the Huskies get there next year.

696
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 4: For get a break, I'm sorry not text the audios.

697
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: Fun with audio next, It's now time for Soft and Diggs.

698
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 5: Fun with audio.

699
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 13: Jimmy g Pat Star, Jimmy mister garoppolo.

700
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 5: Now let's have some fun with audio. All right, here

701
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 5: we go a.

702
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 4: Little fun with audio slash. Hey did you hear that?

703
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 4: This is part number two, by the way, which could

704
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: be construed as part number one.

705
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 5: If you're tuning in at six forty five tonight. You

706
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 5: get my point.

707
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 4: Though, There's a lot of audio here that we got

708
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: to sift through, so we thought we'd give you two

709
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 4: segments today on the radio show.

710
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 5: All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?

711
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 5: What's that?

712
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Dick?

713
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 5: I'll start with number five.

714
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 4: Santa Clara upset Kentucky nearly upset Kentucky in the first

715
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: run of the tournament, if Wildcat star otega Oway had

716
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 4: not hit a game tying heave at the buzzer to

717
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 4: send the game to overtime.

718
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 5: However, Santa Clara head coach Herb.

719
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 4: Sendek said after the game that he called a time

720
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 4: out before the buzzer beater, which the souls did not

721
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 4: see or recognize.

722
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 12: Well, Ion equivocally called time out, but they didn't grant it.

723
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 12: I mean, I think the video evidence is clear and

724
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 12: anybody's able to pull it up, which you know is

725
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 12: a likely response after Allen hits the three, that the

726
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 12: coach would be calling time out to set the defense,

727
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 12: which I tried to do and I was successful in doing.

728
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 12: Other than it was an acknowledge.

729
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 4: Or recognized so he did call time out, and the

730
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: video clearly shows him calling time out.

731
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 5: I guess my question is this, So what was that was?

732
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 14: It?

733
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 5: Was it seventy three seventy when the guy hit the three?

734
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 5: Is that right?

735
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously the tie game, So why not foul

736
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 4: immediately and put them on the line.

737
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 5: If you're Santa Clara, why even let them get that

738
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 5: shot off?

739
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 8: Well, that's would be the normal thought process per second,

740
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 8: particularly once it gets.

741
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 4: Inside five seconds, right, I mean, we've had this conversation

742
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 4: million thousand times. Why not just foul and not even

743
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 4: give the guy the chance to make that three?

744
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I realized it was a it was a

745
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 5: long girl range three. It was kind of a prayer.

746
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 4: I get that, But how many times do we have

747
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 4: to have his conversation Dick about college basketball coaches that

748
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 4: don't foul up three on the last possession of a basketball.

749
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 8: Well, and the coach has got to run onto the

750
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 8: floor and indicate timeout, just like you see it in

751
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 8: the NFL all the time. They're not going to give

752
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 8: you a technical foul if you run on the floor

753
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 8: and get the coat to get there at referees right attention.

754
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 4: But the he raise a guy running down the court

755
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: in front of him, So he's running away from Syndeck,

756
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 4: and he's trying to get the guy's attention right his

757
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 4: back is turned and.

758
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 9: You can't hear him because that's just bedlaming.

759
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 5: Right right now.

760
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, it was a hell of a game,

761
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 4: and I thought for a second when the guy hit

762
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 4: the three, well, that may have just saved Mark Pube's job.

763
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 4: We'll talk to Mike de Courci about that at sixty twenty.

764
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: By the way, because there might be three. There could

765
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 4: be three major job openings in college football.

766
00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 5: Remember when Michigan and.

767
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 4: Bama came open at the same time, trickled down back, Kansas,

768
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: North Carolina and Kentucky. Arguably three of the top five

769
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: programs of all time may come open this year. Hey, Dick,

770
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 4: did you happen to hear the today?

771
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 5: What's that?

772
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 1: Dick?

773
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 5: I was going to a number seven, number eight? Sorry?

774
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 4: After high Points upset Winterver, Wisconsin last week, head coach

775
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: Flynn Klayman.

776
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 5: Is that his real name?

777
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 4: By the way, is that Cliff Claven' It was like

778
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 4: a nineteen seventies porn start. Flynn claiman discussed as frustration

779
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 4: with high major schools not scheduling mid majors.

780
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 14: It's pretty obvious to me that something needs to be

781
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 14: done about this non conference scheduling. High Point in Miami,

782
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 14: Ohio or two to oh in Quad one games. We

783
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 14: couldn't get games. They couldn't get games. Ackern couldn't get games.

784
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 14: UNCW couldn't get games. Belmont couldn't get games. We won

785
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 14: twenty two of our last twenty three games, and we

786
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 14: didn't move up one spot in the metrics, not one.

787
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 14: We won twenty two of our twenty three. We've won

788
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 14: twenty five games by double digits. That team, right there

789
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 14: is a fantastic team that be top ten teams. If

790
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 14: we can get games like this on neutral courts and

791
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 14: some home games, I think we know who's really the

792
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 14: best teams.

793
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 4: All right, So let's do this. Let's follow that up

794
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: and then have this discussion. Because Matt Pain came out

795
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 4: the head coach of Purdue after their win in the tournament,

796
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: he rejected Flynn Klayman's assertion that a high major school

797
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 4: is including his team, don't schedule mid majors.

798
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 13: You're going to play eleven non conference games next year,

799
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 13: it's going to go to twelve. And so we play

800
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 13: six high major games and we play five mid major teams.

801
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 13: So when they say they don't play mid majors, like,

802
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 13: we played five mid majors this year. But if he

803
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 13: was in our position, he did the same thing we're doing.

804
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 13: Like I didn't set the net rankings. The net rankings

805
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 13: set themselves. But I'm going to go buy it, like

806
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 13: I'm going.

807
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: To figure it out.

808
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 13: The coaches that don't look at the net rankings and

809
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 13: get things figured out how to schedule are bozos.

810
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: They're absolute bozos.

811
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 13: You are going to do what is best for your

812
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 13: institution so you can get in the tournament and help.

813
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 13: So we're the only program in the country it's been

814
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 13: a top four seed, you know, nine years in a row.

815
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 13: We played Akron, all right, we played Kent State, we

816
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 13: played Oakland, so like we've played mid majors. But everybody

817
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 13: plays mid majors.

818
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 8: Everybody plays mid majors, but no one wants to play

819
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 8: the top mid majors because you know what their transfer

820
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 8: portal looks like, you know what their recruiting class looks

821
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 8: like before you ever schedule the game. So if you're perdue,

822
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 8: and yes, Matt Painter's right, you're doing what's best for

823
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 8: your program, and what's best for your program if you're

824
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 8: already playing a Big ten schedule and you probably already

825
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 8: have four or five other interconference, big time games, right,

826
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 8: I am scheduling the weakest mid majors I can possibly

827
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 8: find to rack up easy wins.

828
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 9: I am not playing High Point.

829
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course.

830
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 4: Well, part of the problem too, is just because you

831
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 4: schedule Somebody that you think is going to be good

832
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that they'll be good, right, Like, they have

833
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 4: to play their part. Can schedule a decent mid major team,

834
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 4: but then you better damn well play well so that

835
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 4: game is meaningful.

836
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 5: It's like in college football.

837
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 4: Remember when the Huskies scheduled like Wisconsin when they were

838
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 4: in the Pac twelve and we all thought this is

839
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 4: gonna be a big game and they stunk. It was

840
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 4: nothing because they were terrible. That's not you, Dub's fault.

841
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 4: So that's I mean, college basketball scheduling is different than

842
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 4: college football. I get it, not like five years, No,

843
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: I get it right, But you've got to be able

844
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 4: to play well when these games are scheduled. So look, man,

845
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: I think Painter's right. I'm with you that when you're

846
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 4: playing a big ten schedule. What does it do for

847
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 4: me to play teams like that? When I've got twenty ballbusters?

848
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 4: Nically right, all right, we're gonna break Mike de Corsi.

849
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 4: We'll get his thoughts on all that. The tournament were

850
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 4: about to have three big time coaching jobs open six

851
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 4: to twenty courtesy and Northwest Handling Systems. On ninety three

852
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 4: three KJARFM
