Speaker 1: Here. We always say, man, you better be a big

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: damn deal to crash this show. In the opening segment

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: at three o'clock, got a best bought out monologue. Been

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: thinking about a monologue for probably you know, four or

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: five minutes of effort that went into this whole thing.

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna blow that up, you better be

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: a big damn deal.

8
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: Well, the radio voice of the New York Yankees, the

Speaker 3: a little bit later in the season. My wife couldn't

24
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: make this trip. Which really bumped her out right. But

25
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 3: I'm enjoying it. You know, people of a couple of

26
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: people stopped me along the way walking down First Avenue.

27
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: I knew that happened, by the way, because I guys,

28
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: I told you you texted me at like two thirty

29
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: five up on the way over and it took you

30
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: twenty minutes to go a block because you're getting stopped,

31
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure by everybody.

32
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was interesting, a lot of fun,

33
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 3: a lot of fun. Well, good to see you guys.

34

00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: talk about your your ball club, let's we need a

36
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: simsy update, like what's life been like for you. You're

37
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: working for the iconic Yankees? Is there something that you

38
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 4: didn't know about them that you now know? Just kind

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: of give us an update of your personal situation.

40
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: You know, you know me. I I'm dedicated to the

41
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: job and I just want to do the job. I

42
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 3: want to be prepared. I want to be mentally SYNCD

43
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: up all the time. And it's moments like this when

44
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: I talk to you guys, you think about and I

45
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: think about my parents, my grandparents. They be flipping out

46
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: if they knew I was the radio rise your Yankees,

47
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: and that's the only time I really think about it.

48
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: It's it's another job, but clearly it's not. You know,

49
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: we're talking about one of the most iconic institutions in

50
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: the world, certainly in this country, and I value that.

51
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: And I don't get me wrong, I love being here

52
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: in Seattle eighteen years first, you know, first time I

53
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 3: had my own team, right, and I've been knocking as

54
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: like Gary Cohen with the me that said, yeah, you

55
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: were helicoptering in doing ESPN games. You never get to

56
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: get a full taste. And now you know, the marriage

57
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: were my guys for eighteen years, you know. So now

58
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: now it's the Yankees, and I take the subway or

59
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: short cabri No, it's short cab right. I'm trying to

60
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: take the cap because it cost a lot, but take

61
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: the subway to and from and it's it's a very

62
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: New York experience. Nobody bothers me. People ask people what

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 3: I say anything to you onto the subway. People got

64
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: their own problems. They're not worrying about seeing the knucklehead

65
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: played by play guy. Yeah me, come on, well, I.

66
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: Gotta tell you, Dave.

67
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: I've told you this before, and I was telling you

68
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: this off the air that I first started listening to

69
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: you when you were doing Sunday Night Football for Westwood

70
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: One back in the day. And I miss it. I

71
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: miss hearing you one games, by the way. But there's

72
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: got to be a difference, though, from the way people

73
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: respond in Seattle to the way they respond to New York.

74
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: And you're also active on social media. You're on Instagram,

75
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: you're on Twitter. So do you feel that a little

76
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: bit out there?

77
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: A little bit? Yeah? And I'm still getting a lot

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: of people from the Pacific Northwest, dude, miss you or hey,

79
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: say it's something reacting to it. And then again a

80
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: lot of a decent amount of of uh from New York.

81
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: And it was interesting when I first got here, and

82
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: this will happen to anybody coming into a situation like this.

83
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: You know, kne House was still here and you know,

84
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: but you know, I was brought in with a repair

85
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: kind of thing. And I remember my son texted me,

86
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: she say, oh, you getting killed in Seattle. I said

87
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: them the new Gay, I'm from these ghost the black guy. Hey. Hey,

88
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: you know, but it turns around, you know, when you

89
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: get used to everybody's you know, patterns and rhythms and

90
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: how they do things. So yeah, I mean Harry Kallis

91
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: caught Helen Philly for a couple of years, and then

92
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 3: these and now that people Jenny flecked at the mere

93
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: mention of his name. Uh no, and the other thing

94
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: in New York too. You don't want to go out

95
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: of people generally don't go out of their way. They'll

96
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: go like like, I I know I've done this. I've

97
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: seen Samuel L. Jackson. Hey man, enjoy your work and

98
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: just keep on walking. Wow, So you get some of that, well,

99
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 3: none of that fanboy freaking out because they're just gonna

100
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: look at you like you're freaking nut. But because everybody's

101
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: always on the move. But yo, man, enjoy your work.

102
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: Just get Hey man, thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

103
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: There you go, There you go.

104
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: Ye, the New York Way. Well, the legend Dave Simms

105
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: is with us, and and uh let's jump into your Yankees.

106
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna jump into the water first, Dave. I'm

107
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: gonna just say, wait, let let's let's talk about how

108
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: your guy Aaron Judge took the m VP from our guy.

109
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 3: Here we go, I said, that's exactly why I didn't

110
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: want to come on.

111
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: It's your fault, right, you know what I was.

112
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: On with Jason Stark and Riz and and I love Riz,

113
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: and then he was so passionate and he can't we

114
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: we get off the subject, and he would work you

115
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 3: back around to how Cals would be the MVP for

116
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: my money. I mean as a catcher. And I was

117
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: a catcher too. Dude hit forty nine home runs as

118
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: a catcher, sixty total. That's right, judge. You look at

119
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: his numbers, they are black in about nine categories. So

120
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 3: I think that that was the cushion that gave him.

121
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 3: I think was at seventeen first place votes to thirteen.

122
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: Had Cal wanted, I'd have been good with that. And

123
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: I get it and the other thing too late. Let's

124
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: be honest. The Yankees are the Yankees and the Mariners

125
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: histories doesn't add up to that. And you know, I

126
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: think maybe people around the country, if it's a New

127
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: York guy, it's seven that it's got to be him.

128
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not always the case. I'm not saying

129
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: that's right. I'm just saying I think that's the reality.

130
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: But I got to tell you this I know from

131
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: being around a lot of sports. I know a lot

132
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: of guys in the media, for whatever it's worth of

133
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: love coming here and they're thrilled that at some point,

134
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: hopefully soon you're getting hoops back. Yeah. Yeah, I mean

135
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: it's a good sports that I really have no doubt.

136
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: Well, Dave Sims one the last radio voice of the Yankees,

137
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: and uh man, you guys had some fun with that

138
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: ABS system last night.

139
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: I think.

140
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the first couple innings, I felt bad for the

141
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: poor bastard behind the plight. I'm starting to actually feel

142
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: bad for umpires, by the way, there's no way they

143
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: can compete with this. So what is your take as

144
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: kind of a long time baseball guy on the ABS

145
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: system and where this goes in the future?

146
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: Man, Well, first of all, I like it. It's quick,

147
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: and the low strike especially, well, just a little low

148
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: strike in general, that that pitch he was calling a strike.

149
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: He has to Mike Asterbook and everybody else have to

150
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: adjust to that. The the range has moved up a

151
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: couple of inches, and and the Yankees they've been very aggressive.

152
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: Aaron Bullen said, hey, boys have at it. Yeah, And

153
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: Austin Wells has been good when you know when he's

154
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: catching and and Jassism. I mean it was five for

155
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: five last night. I mean it was it was crazy.

156
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: Are you a fan of doing this permanently?

157
00:06:59,400 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 3: Yeah?

158
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: Talk yesterday. This's is just going to expand. Man, are

159
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: you a fan of maybe getting rid of umpires for balls?

160
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: No? No, no, no, no no no. The thing that

161
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: there's been some games where people have challenged and the

162
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: guys have been right and and and respectfully, these cats

163
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: are good ninety eight ninety nine percent. At a time,

164
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: I wanted to keep it just like it is. I thought,

165
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: I thought that you know, Tennis has their deal and

166
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: they took pretty much the same thing. I like it,

167
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 3: it works.

168
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 4: I want to push back. I think it's there's a

169
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: friendly debate, Dave. If we weren't working, we'd be having

170
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: a beer over this. But my take is that, look,

171
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: if you trust the technology, then use it all the time.

172
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: Why are we Why are we just using the technology

173
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: on the most important pitches when we can at no costs,

174
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: meaning no delay to the game, at no costs, we

175
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 4: can just you know, abs the whole damn game.

176
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: Am I missing that We're gonna We're not going to

177
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: have it if you like the rub barbs back in

178
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: the day when lewis here, that's not gonna happen. Say

179
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: you missed that.

180
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: That's a terminology for fighting.

181
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: School. I love here six and Joe Tory famously said

182
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: something along the lines that baseball is a game of

183
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: failure played by flood people. And I I'm so old

184
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: school that I want to keep the umpires in there

185
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: because they do get graded. I mean there it sounds

186
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: like they're held accountable, and they obviously wanted to be

187
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 3: held accountable. This is a little bit of help here.

188
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: You got to replay it plays at the you know,

189
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: with the bag, there's certain things you can I still

190
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 3: I still he I, I still like it. I hear

191
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: what you're saying. But I just don't want I played

192
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: video games with my kids. I don't want these big guys,

193
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: the best players, the best players in the world, were

194
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: playing a video game. Next thing, there's going to be

195
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: something as it is. You got guys in, you know,

196
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: toggling in the what are you playing?

197
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: What?

198
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 3: What?

199
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: What?

200
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: What?

201
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: What video games are you playing?

202
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 3: Not now? No bags are saying no, no, no, no.

203
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: I mean and I bought I bought the Madden football

204
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: game in its first uh episodes, we had you name it. Yeah,

205
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 3: we had especially especially playing football and I remember what

206
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: was it? Uh, what was a great football game that

207
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: they had.

208
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: Tech Mobile mobile.

209
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: Ed Coleman my partner tech Mobile. Uh. My kids loved it.

210
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: And and Ed Coleman, who was my broadcast partner when

211
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: we did middays at w f A N. He stopped

212
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: on the house one time and my youngest son, Jordy

213
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: was about three, and it's playing and Eddie was playing

214
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: along with him, and then Eddie Eddie. Uh, Eddie was

215
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: using the New York Jets and Jordy was three. Jordy says,

216
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: you're using the white guy. After I picked myself up

217
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: off of the floor.

218
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: See this is the old sports talk radio host Dave Simms,

219
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: because that's the roots your your roots are in sports

220
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: talk radio. And now you've made the transition a long

221
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: time ago, obviously to play by play. But I think

222
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: that's what is partly what makes you great, is that

223
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: you bring some of this stuff out during the course

224
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: of a game. What you have to do. But there's

225
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: a guy at the bar wearing a ninety nine right

226
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: for Aaron Judge. We've gotten to know Cayle a little bit,

227
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, as as wholesome. Apparently you really never know anybody,

228
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: but it's wholesome. A guy who's will ever meet in baseball.

229
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: Great leader.

230
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: I'm on that, limb.

231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 2: Kay what about what about the judge? What you like

232
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 2: behind the scenes?

233
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: We don't know? Well, same same thing, same thing. He's

234
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: got a baby girl coming up on a year. Okay,

235
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: as it was DeLisi Oldstone hopelessly devoted to you, and

236
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: he's all in. I don't. I have not met his parents,

237
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: but I hear the good people, and he's been very

238
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: I liked him when I was here. I would always

239
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: search him out and just say, hey man, what's up?

240
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah, and he would talk. I mean, we're

241
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: not re splitting the at him here, but you know,

242
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: we talk baseball. We can talk about how's it going,

243
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: how's the team going, that kind of stuff, and and

244
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: he's passionate about what he does. It works. He works

245
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: his butt off, hey man. And I don't know if

246
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: you saw last night somebody had a double and he

247
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: his relay in was a seed and he threw two

248
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: guys out and he sided a WBC. Good athlete. I

249
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: mean yeah, I'd hate to make Hugh. I'd hate to

250
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: be a free safety or cornerback and he's running running

251
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: up the seam for a quick pop pass, you know

252
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: in football, I would I would make a business decision

253
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: and get the hell out of here.

254
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: He's the same, he's he's the same size as Jimmy Graham.

255
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean literally the same height weight as Jimmy Graham.

256
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: He's a great hitter, right, great hitter.

257
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's it's crazy that as bad as that fast right? Yeah,

258
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: But Dave Simms with this, Dave, uh, give us a

259
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: picture of the twenty twenty six Yankees and the rest

260
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: of this series. I get free tonight, uh Schlitler tomorrow night.

261
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: I wanted to throw that in just because I love

262
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 4: to say that the name and yeah, there's always change

263
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: year to year. What have the twenty six Yankees look like?

264
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: Pretty much ran it back and a lot of people

265
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: were hacked off about it and said, what are you

266
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: pissed off about? Ninety four wins tied for the most

267
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: in the American League, third best in Major League Baseball

268
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: behind what Milwaukee and the Phillies and then Toronto and

269
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: the Yankees. Yeah, Toronto owned this last year, still a

270
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: good ball club. Got Garrett Cole who looked pretty good,

271
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: surprisingly good, and seemingly ahead of schedule. He's looking at

272
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 3: probably a late may comeback. Carlos Rendon early may come

273
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: back because he had you know some you know, floaters

274
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: in his elbow. So you add that to Freed and Schlittler.

275
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. You got heel on the come.

276
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 3: You got a kid named Carlos Legron Hay who's throwing

277
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: one O three, the easiest one O three. You can imagine.

278
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 3: It is terrifying. Wow. The ben Rice kid hits the

279
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: ball consistently as hard as anybody in baseball. Copayero is

280
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: making a name for himself in New York. If I'm

281
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 3: Anthony VOPI I'm doing everything I can to get back

282
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: a SAP, and I hope he's working on his bunning

283
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: skills and his throwing arm. Because Cabby and Jazz Chishom

284
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: Junior three four six three double plays including the game

285
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: ender the other day Saturday in uh San Francisco, and

286
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: it was ballet. It was gorgeous, and there was no

287
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: Cabby coming across the bay. He's got a right, he's

288
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 3: got a big time gun. So uh to answer your question, Hugh, Uh,

289
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: it's a good ball club. Cody Belger covers everything. Trent

290
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 3: Grisham signed, I think a little bit of surprise to

291
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: some people he did sign the qualifying off for twenty

292
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: two mil Ain't stupid. Yeah, Judge is judge, you know

293
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: you think. And for a guy six seven, two seventy

Speaker 1: you go, yeah, what do you got. I know you

306
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: were rooting for the Mariners against the Blue Jays, and

307
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: that a year ago. We were right here for game seven,

308
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks were playing the Texans across the street

309
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: when Springer took Bizarto deep to left field.

310
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: You didn't hear me scream from the UK.

311
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: You may have heard me cry. I mean I just left.

312
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: I said the hell with a Seahawk game. I just

313
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: went home. I had no desire to go into that stadium.

314
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: But over the offseason, they bring back Naylor, they go

315
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: get for air. Uh, they bring in Donovan ref Snyder.

316
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: We would you try to get down? Okay?

317
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: I like that.

318
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: What do you think of the moves the Mariners made?

319
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: Did they close the gap a little bit? Are they

320
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: ready to push through that door?

321
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: Well, Naylor's got to get his first hit. Julio's got

322
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: to get going. Once those guys get going, it's gonna

323
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: be a heck of a team. I think Donovan's a

324
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: great ad. Uh. You know he said the Yankees wanted him. Uh.

325
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: I want to get Steve a few years ago and

326
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: he ended up here. Jerry Depottle I talked to Jerry

327
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: KG yesterday. Says it's the best team that he's had

328
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,359
Speaker 3: since he's been here. I said, yeah, no kidding. Uh.

329
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: The pitching staff is outstandard. Yeah, and it has like

330
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: fine wine is matured. It's right now, right now. You

331
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: want to pop that court. This is an opportunity. And

332
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: I saw the clips the other day. Will look like

333
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: he was unhittable the other night, and he was shoving

334
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: it on the Yankees last year I think was at

335
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: our place. I think they wound up. Yankees come back

336
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: and win that game, but it should be. There's no

337
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: gimmes in in baseball, as you know, but I like

338
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: the chances of another of a repeat win as a

339
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: division winners here in the y.

340
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,920

Speaker 3: Whatever.

361
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: But just awesome to hear a guy that loves baseball

362
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: as much as he does and loves the Mariners. Even

363
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: though he's in New York. This guy still loves Marina Baseball.

364
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: I know he does. I know he's not giving up

365
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: on the dream of these guys in the World Series. Man,

366
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: So great to have Dave sim stop by. But hey,

367
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: we got some big news man to talk about with

368
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: this cold Emerson contract.

369
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: Dude.

370
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to cut minutes left in this segment.

371
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: But for those that don't know, lots of reports. Eight years,

372
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: ninety five million, including a ninth year option that could

373
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: take the deal to over one hundred and thirty. He

374
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: has now set a record for a guy who's never

375
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: step foot in a Major League baseball game. He's not

376
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: even twenty one Hugh. He will be twenty one on

377
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: the twentieth of July. He's in Triple A Tacoma. He's

378
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: the number seven prospect in Major League Baseball. He's the

379
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: shortstop of the future, which times up perfectly because JP

380
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: Crawference contract is done at the end of the year.

381
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, everything keeps changing, right, Like we were giving

382
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: a Kunya a deal, Andrews. Who's the kid from the

383
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: Padres that got the xdal Ye, No, No, the one

384
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: before that they got that got suspended for PDS whatever

385
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: the team was. Yeah, yeah, Fernando Tatis got a deal,

386
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: Julio got a deal. But these guys, most of them

387
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: are getting deals five six months into their major league career,

388
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: if not maybe a year after.

389
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: And we thought that was a great.

390
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: Now you got dudes that are getting ninety five million

391
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: dollars whoever even taking a pitch.

392
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: Of the major leagues.

393
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you've obviously got two parties that have to

394
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: come together. And from a standpoint of a player, you know,

395
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 4: he's got ninety five million guaranteed, he's got I sent

396
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 4: hims like he's all good, Right, So I did ransom calculations.

397
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: I calculated the millionaire's tax in twenty twenty nine federal

398
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 4: income tax, assuming he spends five hundred grand a year

399
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 4: from for the next eight years, okay, uh. And and

400
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 4: every time I had an option, I chose the conservative right,

401
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: how would how would you like to have?

402
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: Uh?

403
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 4: Could you live off one hundred and seventy thousand dollars

404
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 4: a month?

405
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: Yes? I could.

406
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 4: Okay.

407
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: So when at the end of his eight I was

408
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: on the fence until you added the month, now one

409
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: and seven years?

410
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: What hundred?

411
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: Every time I took the most conservative you know, the inflation,

412
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 4: the tax, everything, And if he doesn't get a hit

413
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: from now until the end of his life, he will

414
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 4: at the end of this contract get based on the

415
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 4: assumptions I say, he'll have about one hundred and seventy

416
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 4: one thousand dollars a month upon which to live. And

417
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 4: so so, you know, you say to a guy, look,

418
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 4: you're done. This is generational money, that's right, and guys

419
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 4: want to take the security of that.

420
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: Well, let's do this, because there's another side to it. Obviously,

421
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a win win for both sides. And

422
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I feel that way even more so after I looked

423
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: at a couple of figures in baseball kind of where

424
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: things are going. I think for the from a Mariner perspective, guys,

425
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: there's a real chance this could turn out to be

426
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: absolute highway robbery by the Mariners with this contract with

427
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: cold Emerson. So we'll come back and talk about it next.

00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: So keep an ear out for the Sounder coming very

467
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: soon on this radio show. In the hour so the

468
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: cold Emberson deal eight years, ninety five million dollars, has

469
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: never played a inning of Major League baseball, but he's

470
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: now a very very rich man. I think it's a

471
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: win win for both sides. I think it's a great

472
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: call by the Mariners to do this. I thought the

473
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: Julio thing was a great call by the Mariners to

474
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: do this. I think when you identify a superstar, especially

475
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: in baseball, when there is no salary cap, when the

476
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: game is growing right now exponentially, in salaries are growing

477
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: exponentially along with it.

478
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: Getting ahead of the game.

479
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: Guys for the Mariners with a kid like Colt, who

480
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: they think is going to be a star, I think

481
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: makes all the sense in the world. I'll just give

482
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: you an idea of what salaries are doing, Hugh, in

483
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: Major League baseball twenty eighteen. So I'm going back eight

484
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: years ago because Colt's got the eight year deal, right.

485
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: So twenty eighteen, there were five players in Major League

486
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Baseball that were making thirty million dollars or more. You

487
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: know how many guys are making thirty million dollars or

488
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: more right now in baseball? Probably a lot twenty seven

489
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: compared to five eight years ago. Okay, there were thirty

490
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: six players making over twenty. Now there's eighty making over

491
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: twenty in just the last eight years. So the money

492
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: that the Mariners are about to pay Colt Emerson and

493
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: Andrews and I were talking off the hear about this.

494
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: Even if he doesn't turn into the best shortstop in baseball,

495
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: if he turns into a really good, above average, all

496
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: star caliber everyday shortstop, this is a freaking steal.

497
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you kidding me.

498
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 3: Look at it.

499
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 4: You can be that guy.

500
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: Yes, they're paying a lot more on the front end, right, guys,

501
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: there's no doubt years one through three they're paying a

502
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: lot more on the front end. They're gonna bite off

503
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: about an extra probably twenty five thirty million bucks or so,

504
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: if not a bit less than that on the front end.

505
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: But where they start to save money is when this

506
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: guy gets to arbitration in year four and then when

507
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: he gets to free agency in year seven. I mean,

508
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: just looking at the numbers, man, you're you're talking about

509
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: a deal that might potentially save the Mariners upwards of

510
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: one hundred million bucks, but turns out to be the

511
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: player that we think you might make.

512
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 4: Sure, So when you reference arbitration. You reference free agency,

513
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 4: and you're saying, Okay, this is a club friendly deal.

514
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: And and right now I'm not presenting a position. I'm

515
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 4: just trying to present the other position. Does that make sense?

516
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: Go for it?

517
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, So we're making an assumption about the level he

518
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: would play at where it's a win for the Mariners

519
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: at the arbitration stage, and we're making an assumption about

520
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 4: his level play where it's a win win for the

521
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 4: Mariners at the free agency stage. Right right, what about

522
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 4: Evan White, there's at least some similarities. Yeah, uh, from

523
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: that contract there, I mean there is a there is

524
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 4: a scenario there. There's there's a floor of his performance

525
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 4: under which if he is below that floor, then it's

526
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 4: not a good deal for the Marriags. Now I'm inclined

527
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: to agree with you, Dave, that this is a good

528
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 4: deal for for him for uh uh, for the player

529
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 4: and the club. But I certainly understand why the player

530
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 4: would do it. We talked about the just the the

531
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 4: the security involved there, right you you you you change,

532
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: you know, you kind of erode your ceiling in terms

533
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: of your financial potential for the security end upholding that floor. Right,

534
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 4: But from the team perspective, right, he still has got

535
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 4: to play at a certain level where this makes sense.

536
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

537
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: I just think the Evan White deal was six years,

538
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: twenty four million dollars, and that was seven years ago,

539
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: So they gave him four million dollars a year right

540
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: over the life of a six year deal. There's no

541
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: deal like that in baseball that should ever preclude a

542
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball franchise from not doing something financially with

543
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: somebody else that they want to do. That's just not

544
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: enough money, right, I mean, and the cold Emerson deal,

545
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: I mean again, in three or four, five years from now,

546
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars a year for cold Emerson. Let's say

547
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: he's a let's say, worst case scenario, he's a total bum,

548
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: comes up to the major leagues, sees ghosts, can't hit water,

549
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: if he falls off a canoe, just terrible, right, he

550
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: turns into just a complete bum, and he's traded after

551
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: year one or he's cut at whatever. Okay, it's still

552
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: to me, is not enough of a bite of the

553
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: apple for the Mariners financially to say, oh man, this

554
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: is really gonna screw us, this is really gonna affect us.

555
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of guys we'd like to go out

556
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: and get that we can no longer get because we

557
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: gave cold Emerson this big contract.

558
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 2: I just don't see it.

559
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: And I've been asking the Mariners to do things like

560
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: this for a long time. Guys. Look, it's major League Baseball.

561
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: There's no cap. There might be a cap by the way,

562
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: but right now there is no cap. I mean, you

563
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: can spend whatever you want. The team's making money, the

564
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: game is growing, fans are coming out, salaries are growing

565
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: like freaking wildfire man.

566
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 2: So Andrews, I don't know about you, but.

567
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a bit of a financial risk,

568
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: but it's nothing that should kill them if it doesn't

569
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: work out.

570
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, and just knowing how the Mariners operate, They've mentioned

571
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 6: many times they don't want to pay players into their thirties,

572
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 6: So if you are gonna spend big money on players,

573
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 6: it has to be when they're in their twenties. And

574
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 6: that's why they get this deal done now and actually

575
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 6: save a couple of years. Like you said, it extends

576
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 6: him before he hits free agency for another two to

577
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 6: three years, so you get to have that much longer

578
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 6: if he does turn into that player. Now, I also

579
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 6: understand what he's saying. There's a point where this deal

580
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 6: could seem like you are still paying him too much.

581
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 6: I do believe that point is a lot lower of

582
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 6: a caliber of player than a lot of people realize.

583
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 6: He could be just a two to three win player.

584
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 6: He could be Jp Crawford for the next ten years,

585
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 6: and this would still be a good deal. Be a

586
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 6: starting shortstop, right, an average starting shortstop.

587
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: I think the reward for me personally, guys Huey way

588
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: outweighs the risk. The reward way out raised the risk.

589
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean again, even if he's like you know, Boba Schett,

590
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: who's now playing third, but he made his money by

591
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: playing shortstop. He's making forty two million dollars a year.

592
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor is making thirty four, Carlos Krey is making

593
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: thirty three, and Corey Seeger's making thirty two with the Rangers. Right,

594
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: and that's today, Okay, And some of those deals. Seekers

595
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: deal was signed four years ago. Lindora's deal was signed

596
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: four years ago, and Correa's deal was signed three years ago.

597
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: So what are those look like in three four years? Well,

598
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: we're not even halfway through this kid's.

599
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 6: Contract plus for guys that are already not in their

600
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 6: prime anymore. You're right paying for all of Colt Emerson's prime,

601
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 6: so to speak.

602
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: Totally.

603
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you guys create a convincing argument. I'm

604
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 4: on your side. I'm presenting thetrury, and I just think

605
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 4: there has to be acknowledgment that if if he if

606
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 4: Emerson's a good player, let's just go three three levels.

607
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 4: If he's a good player, it's a good deal for

608
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 4: the marrors. If he's an average player, it's a good

609
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: deal for the mirrors. If he's a poor player at

610
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: some level, you say, well, how poor? Yeah, but there

611
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 4: is a level if he's in that bottom third. If

612
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 4: if he's a real disappointment as a player, this could

613
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 4: be a point where you say, you know, we shouldn't

614
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: have done that, that contract. But to Dave's to both

615
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 4: of your point, Uh, you know, it's not going to

616
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 4: be crippling. You know, it's not like a true attack

617
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 4: of Bola contract.

618
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, because this isn't the NFL, right, I mean,

619
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, imagine if there was a salary cap in

620
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: baseball and the Mariners had to eat a hundred million

621
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: dollars of dead money in one year. I mean, they'd

622
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: field nobody. It'd be nobody on the team, for God's sakes.

623
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: But JP Crawford's making ten million dollars a year right now,

624
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: and that's a contract he's signed four years ago. And

625
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: he's also a free agent when the year's over. The

626
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: cool thing I like about this two guys. I'll tell

627
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: you what if they can get a deal done with

628
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Donovan and I think eventually they will extend him.

629
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna have Cold Emberson for eight years, Cole Young

630
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: through two thousand and thirty one, and Josh Naylor through

631
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: two thousand and thirty. There's a real good chance you

632
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: can see this infield play together for at least the

633
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: next maybe four or five seasons. He's got two years

634
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: left until he's a free agent. He's on an hontration

635
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: contract and he's twenty eight years old. But I mean, again,

636
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: you give him an you know, you extend him at

637
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: the end of the year, give him a three year deal.

638
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: He's locked in for four years, and then all of

639
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, you've got Emerson, Young, Naylor and Donovan locked

640
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: in for four seasons. Where your entire infield at the

641
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: minimum three quarters of it is locked in through at

642
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: least two thousand and thirty.

643
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 4: Well, the Mariners did something that that they set a

644
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 4: precedent today. They they gave the highest contract in the

645
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 4: history of baseball for a player who had never played

646
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: a game in the major leagues. Correct. Correct, that's semantically

647
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 4: an accrid statement, right.

648
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the team team that did that.

649
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 4: About if your team does something like that, at the

650
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 4: very least you stop, you ponder, you go, hmm, that's interesting.

651
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 4: Mariners just set an all time precedent, and so they know,

652
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 4: you know, basically, it's one of two things. Either they

653
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 4: were a little wiser than everybody else, or at some

654
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 4: point it will be shown that they should have they

655
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 4: should have not made that, or they.

656
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: Don't give a damn anymore, or they don't give a damn,

657
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: or they're ready to get serious, or they're really ready

658
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: to get serious, or they're really ready to start spending money,

659
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: and they're sick and tired of being called cheap, and

660
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: they want to have great players, and they want to

661
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: keep great players, and they want to win championships and

662
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: they want to win titles, and being eight outs away

663
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: from a World Series.

664
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Motivated these Bastards last season. So I love it.

665
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: And by the way, Hugh, that's a great point you

666
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: brought up, because I didn't even thought of that. If

667
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: I would have asked you ten years ago, five years ago, Andrews,

668
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a team out there that's gonna pay

669
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: a guy the largest contract ever in the history of

670
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: baseball before he steps on a Major League baseball field.

671
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: You would have said the Yankees. You would have said Boston,

672
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. In no way, shape or form would anybody

673
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: have ever thought it was the freaking lowly Seattle Mariners

674
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: that would have made that deal.

675
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: And also, when.

676
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: Julio signed his contract a couple of years ago, was

677
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: that at the time the biggest contract if he reached

678
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: all of his escalators, Andrews, was that the biggest in

679
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: baseball history at the time. Obviously show Hayes got it now,

680
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: but I remember the Mariners being involved in some other

681
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: deal with somebody the time, felt like it may have

682
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: been the biggest one. No, I think Julio's may have

683
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: been the biggest one.

684
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: But the point is that they're this. It feels great.

685
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 3: Honestly.

686
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it's corny to say this, Hugh, but It feels

687
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: great to me as a fan for this franchise to

688
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: finally go out and start doing things that we want

689
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: them to do, like the deadline a year ago when

690
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: they went out and got Suarez and they got Nailer

691
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: and they got Turd Ferguson didn't pan out with Ferguson,

692
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: but they made a deal, and all of a sudden,

693
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: they're doing things that we want them to do, and

694
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: we're like, what, how do we even.

695
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 3: React to this?

696
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to react to Andrews anymore

697
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: to this stuff. Yeah, and the basic go ahead.

698
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

699
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: I just think if you look at the.

700
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 6: Guys that have gotten contracts either before they've gotten to

701
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball or without finishing a year like a

702
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 6: Julio situation, most of those I think I have yet

703
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 6: to look at the whole list myself, but I would

704
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 6: say almost every single one of those deals has turned

705
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 6: out to be a steal. Those are the Ronald Acuna Juniors,

706
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 6: the Roman Anthony's at Boston, the Julio Rodriguez is, the uh,

707
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 6: the Fernandotis as you mentioned, Softy. So there's all these

708
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 6: examples of guys where they do get their money really

709
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 6: early into their career, and a lot of the times

710
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 6: it's because the team that has them looks ahead and

711
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 6: be like, hey, we know they're gonna be a superstar.

712
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 6: They're only gonna get more expense. I don't want to

713
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 6: lose sign them now.

714
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: Don't want to lose them, man.

715
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Mariners don't have a great history of free agency, right,

716
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: whether it comes to keeping guys or signing guys. So

717
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: why not just push off that thing as far as

718
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: you can. By the way, according to Google AI, and

719
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: who doesn't trust Google AI, Julio's deal was not the

720
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: largest by guaranteed money, but the max value of four

721
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: to seventy was the largest in North American sports history.

722
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: So now we got Julio's deal and we got cold

723
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: Emerson's deal, We're gonna break a little fun with audio.

724
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: We'll have more on this coming up on the radio

725
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: program Life from Jimmy's on ninety three three KJRFM.

00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: in your studio, Tell them to get the hell out

735
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: of there. That's your domain, baby, all right, that is

00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: to hear that?

740
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 4: What's that?

741
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 3: Dick?

742
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: We start in the nc double A tournament. This happened

743
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: to be over the weekend. Don't know if you've heard

744
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: this yet or not, Hueie, but Kevin Harlan was calling

745
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: a game for the NCAA tournament and there was a

746
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: malfunction with a horn that just would not stop.

747
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 4: Check that watching. Yeah, that's horrible.

748
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 2: Surely there's a way to unpluck this. Surely there's horn

749
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 2: experts somewhere in this building.

750
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 7: Well, this is where the players. You have got to

751
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 7: mentally stay locked in. You It is a weird time

752
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 7: on the floor, and it's it's unexpected, but you've got

753
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 7: to stay loose and you've got to be ready that

754
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 7: when we finally do turn this thing off, that we

755
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 7: can get back to playing at a high level.

756
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 3: That's right, cover your ears, hide your eyes, the horn

757
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 3: will not shut off.

758
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: First of all, kudos to the engineers at Westwood One

759
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: and excuse me, I guess would have been CBS, right, TNT,

760
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: True TV, CBS because the mix was so great where

761
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: you could not really hear the horn unless they pointed

762
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: it out. It wasn't like blaring on television. And I

763
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: was watching the Duke Yukon game the other day with

764
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: Iyan Ego, and I thought the mix was actually awful.

765
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: I was having a really hard time here in the announcers.

766
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: So kudos to those guys for backing off the boom

767
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: mic man and letting Kevin's voice take over the broadcast

768
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: and not that annoying horn.

769
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that sports broadcasts do that too often.

770
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 4: Does anybody else have trouble adjusting the audio on their

771
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 4: television where you just have if you have a normal stereo,

772
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 4: it's mixed with the ambient noise so much that they drop,

773
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 4: they pot down the announcers and sometimes you're like, WHOA,

774
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 4: that is hard to hear.

775
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: Well, you were talking yesterday on the show about way

776
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: Mos and you know, not having umpires and robots and

777
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: things like that. Yeah, twenty twenty six, Why can't I

778
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: sit at home with an equalizer and actually decide, I

779
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: want less of the announcer. I want more of the crowd.

780
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: I want less of the color guy. I want more

781
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: of the fans. I want less of the commercials. I

782
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: want to go to that mostly the whole thing.

783
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 8: Individual voices if you have, if you're running it through

784
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 8: a receiver, let's say I have Dolby five point one

785
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 8: to something simple, right, The announcers are going through the

786
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 8: center channel and football.

787
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 4: The parabolic mics are the left and right, and then

788
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 4: you've got crowd noise in your surrounds in the back.

789
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 4: So you mixed the center channel higher. You just put

790
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 4: the put the levels on your centle channel higher, right,

791
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 4: and then you'll hear the announce No, no, no.

792
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 3: No no.

793
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: I want just the announcers or just the crowd. I

794
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: want individual feeds foreverything basically what I have here at

795
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: the soundboard. Yes, I want exactly, Yeah, I want to

796
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: at home exactly. Just coming off during the live commercial,

797
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: you could take by the way, whatever K two vision

798
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: was paying for that spot.

799
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: It's taking out of your paycheck.

800
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 4: Hey, that receiver that I got you for your wedding,

801
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 4: I promise you it has a setting. You could go

802
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 4: take your the left and right channels, lower all the

803
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 4: way to the bottom, crank the center to the top.

804
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: Trust by all right, stand all that. You're not you're not,

805
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: You're not. I'm being a little sarcastic here, but I

806
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: want to have that ability to just hear the crowd left.

807
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 4: I would have said, yeah, you need to come over

808
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: and adjust that. Yeah you did in the past.

809
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: Why would I want you to do that. You'll be

810
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 1: at my house for six hours like you worked twenty

811
00:37:58,480 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: five years ago.

812
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 2: I mean the guy when he can I watch the

813
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: video game?

814
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 3: Can I play?

815
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 2: And you never heard this story.

816
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: So for my first marriage, Hugh Millan, God bless his heart,

817
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: bought me a Dennin receiver.

818
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 4: Nice.

819
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: You know everyone's buying plates and linens and napkins, and.

820
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 6: He'll get you something you actually want, something I actually wanted.

821
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: Yes, And so I said, why don't you come over

822
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: and help me install this thing?

823
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 4: So he comes over right there? What do you think

824
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 4: of that? I give him a freaking receiver, brand new

825
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 4: in a box.

826
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 2: I hang on, he's going to add on to it.

827
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 4: Come over.

828
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: We only half an hour and a half left from

829
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: the show. I want to finish the story. We just

830
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: shut up. So he comes over to install this thing.

831
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: Very gracious of you installed the thing. But five hours

832
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: later he's still there and I look up at Hugh

833
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: Millan and I said, man, you.

834
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 2: Know what's funny? He said what?

835
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: And he's irritated his piss already because I never imagined

836
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: watching you in the eighty five Orange Bowl that fifteen

837
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: years later you be in my family room instill like

838
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: a stereo for me. And he got pissed off and

839
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: walked out of the house. That's up, touch bro, you

840
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: you take a hike. We got time for one more. Yeah, yeah,

841
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: let's do a couple more. I gotta get back to

842
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: my wall for crying out loud. Hey here, did you

843
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: happen to hear that?

844
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 4: What's that?

845
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 3: Dick? Oh? Jesus? All right?

846
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: What two, three or four?

847
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 3: Whatever?

848
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 4: Matter? Whatcdonald is one, two or three?

849
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: That's number one.

850
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: His appearance on The Up and Adams Show with k

851
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: Adams Mike McDonald, Hugh was asked what he saw when

852
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: watching the tape from Super Bowl sixty, and its answer

853
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: was quite surprising.

854
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 4: Is there anything you notice about the performance? And you

855
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 4: rewatched the Super bowling over and over again?

856
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 9: Defensively, full disclosure, I've only watched it once, really, like

857
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 9: five days ago. It took me that long to watch

858
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 9: the tape. I'm weird and like, I like what. I

859
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 9: love the idea of how we played from like first

860
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 9: person watching the game, but when I watch it from

861
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 9: the coaches perspective, I I inevitably put my coach's hat

862
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 9: on on my own probably critique it, probably too hard.

863
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 9: So I'm actually thinking the plays that maybe we could

864
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 9: have played better.

865
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 4: You know, well we could.

866
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 9: Take in the back to the flat a couple of times,

867
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 9: and then you know that the two touchdown passes were

868
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 9: kind of a bummer.

869
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 4: What made you finally turn it on five days ago?

870
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 9: Honestly, I was tired of watching college players, and I

871
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 9: was like, maybe I'll just watch that. Maybe it sound

872
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 9: watching the Super Bowl.

873
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: So you know, it took hover in a long time

874
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: to watch that loss to Pittsburgh. This guy won the game,

875
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: and I get it, man, I mean, most times when

876
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: you're watching tape you're watching tape to prepare for the

877
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: next week, right, and there's no last week, you know.

878
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: So does that surprise you that it took him that

879
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: long to watch you terribly?

880
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 4: No, because I think you'd be surprised. I'm not. I'm

881
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 4: not in his head. But I think what he's talking

882
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 4: about is is when you watch it, it triggers a

883
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 4: certain emotion. You're like almost like your your stomach tightens

884
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 4: up a little bit because now you know, and your

885
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 4: blood's going faster. Yeah, you got little you know, you

886
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 4: just have these physiological responses when you watch because you're

887
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 4: like living it again and uh and and you know

888
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 4: it takes something out of you mostly right now that

889
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 4: maybe the words I just chose are unfair. And if

890
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 4: he would listen to that, he'd bristol and say, no,

891
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 4: that's not it at all. But that would be the

892
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 4: closest thing. You know, it's hard. It's just kind of

893
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 4: hard emotionally sometimes. Yeah, even though it was great, you'd say, oh,

894
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 4: you'd want to play that twenty five times?

895
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 5: Well?

896
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 4: As he said, you know, there was a time they

897
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: were hitting Drake May was hitting the half back, particularly

898
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 4: to his left, the left flat, not the right left

899
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 4: flat and they were just getting too many yards, and

900
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 4: he and McDonald probably says, oh my god, we got

901
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 4: a match to the flat better with our flat our

902
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: curl flat defender, you know that type of thing. So no,

903
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised.

904
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 3: Well, give that he is.

905
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite movies are watching those games all

906
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: over again. Man twenty thirteen Championship, Super Bowl forty eight,

907
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: Game five, Yankees ninety five whatever. I'll tell you what

908
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: if the Mariners could have finished off to run, that

909
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: would have maybe moved past Star Wars episode four on

910
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: my list of all time great, No, not at all, No,

911
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: not episode five, okay or episode three by the way, Yeah,

912
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: that's just terrible. But Andrews apparently dropped on his head

913
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: as a baby. I was think properly. Ye oh, that

914
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: explains a lot. Maybe maybe that explains you cut me

915
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: off during a live commercially all right, we got John

916
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: Wilner coming up with five humilains with us as well,

917
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: cracking hockey pre game five thirty with the Oilers on

918
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: ninety three three KJRFM
