1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Goin Lambert, the head coach of the Krack and will 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: join us as the boys have another week off before 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: they head to Dallas a week from tomorrow to wrap 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: up the final twenty six games of the regular season 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: in the National Hockey League. The guys have three players 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: left in the Olympics, by the way, because the big o' 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: Oscar Fister Moleguard was bounced today with Denmark, so that 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: leaves the German gentleman Philip Grubauer and then Ellie Tolvenen 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: and Capo Kaco with Finland still in the Olympics. So 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: everybody else besides those four guys are here today at CACI, 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: and the coach will join us in about ninety minutes 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: from now. On the radio show, we got a lot 13 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: to get to you, man. We're gonna hear from Brandon 14 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: Donovan who sat down with Chuck and Buck in Peoria 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: this afternoon. John Wilder will join us at five pm 16 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: today Bucky from Peoria in the five pm hour as well. 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: We mentioned the head coach of the Crack and swinging 18 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: by to say hi, four thirty. But I don't know, 19 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: maybe the big. 20 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: News of the day. 21 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: I guess you can just depends on how you read 22 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: into this. Right is the Kenny Walker story and we're 23 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: sitting here and the illegal tampering period, which is the dumbest, 24 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: most ridiculous thing ever in the history of the English language. 25 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: Okay, is on March the night. 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,919 Speaker 1: Free agency officially you can start signing guys on March 27 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 1: the eleventh, So we're talking twenty two days away right 28 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: from free agency. And Adam Schefter came out today and 29 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: said the Seahawks are unlikely to use the franchise tag 30 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: on Kenny Walker. And I'll be honest, the first reaction 31 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: I had is like, Okay, that's fine. That just means 32 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: the Hawks are gonna work out a long term deal 33 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: and they're gonna keep the guy in Seattle. I mean, 34 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: I would not say no to the franchise tag. If 35 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: you can't do something with him, I would have no 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: problem tagging him for one more year. I actually think 37 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: a tag for a running back of the age of 38 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: twenty six is freaking phenomenal because you get one more 39 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: year at the age of twenty six. I'm doing at 40 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: the lock in when he's twenty seven to twenty eight 41 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: years old, and maybe the guy's starting to break down. 42 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: So I have actually no problem with the Hawks using 43 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: the tag if they want to on Kenny Walker. But 44 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: I just wonder I got more thoughts on this, But 45 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: I want to just get your take. Two guys, what's 46 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: the reaction when you hear that the Seahawks are unlikely 47 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: to tag Kenny Walker? Is that more optimism that you 48 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: think they can get something done or maybe skepticism that 49 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: hey man, they just may not want to kind of 50 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: meet the price that Kenny's looking for. 51 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: I just think John Schneider doesn't like tagging period, right, 52 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 3: and regardless of who it is. I mean, what we 53 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: figured out was, oh, Lindo Maray was his last tag, 54 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 3: and before the Frank Clark. 55 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: Trade was that Jim Mora, by the way, was here 56 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: with Jim Mora because he was the guy he ripped right. 57 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was the stupid kicker. If he said 58 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: stupid idiot kicker something like that, it was idiot like 59 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: that cost them, that could cost them the game. 60 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: But Ken Walker is a outstanding running back. He's not 61 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: a complete running back, but he's an outstanding runner. He 62 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: has never caught more than and I think he should 63 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 3: catch more than this, but he has never caught more 64 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 3: than forty six balls in a season, So he's not 65 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: the complete three down running back. He is not a 66 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 3: great pass blocker. So if you can sign Ken Walker 67 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 3: to a contract that meets what he is running back, 68 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: he's not a complete Christian McCaffrey, Bijon Robinson, top end 69 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: running back, and I think the Seahawks would be happy 70 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 3: to offer him a contract in that next level. But 71 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: if some team wants to go out there and say, 72 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: you know what, ken Walker is the answer to all 73 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 3: of our problems, and we're gonna give him thirteen to 74 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars a year, then goodbye to Ken Walker. 75 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 4: Right. 76 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad that you mentioned McCaffrey and Bjohn Robinson, 77 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: and you're right. Frank Clark in nineteen. Mare was in 78 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: twenty ten, which was Carroll's first year, Pete Carroll's first 79 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: year as the head coach of the Hawks. So even 80 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: Jim Moore ripping the guy was not enough for John 81 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: Schneider to say, no, we're not. 82 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: Going to pay you. They paid him anyway. 83 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: But here's here's my thoughts on Kenny Walker. So, first 84 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: of all, you mentioned he's not Bjean. He's not who 85 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: is the second guy. Caffrey, Right, those guys are cream 86 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: of the crop, elite NFL whatever. Deserved probably twenty million 87 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: dollars a year, blah blah blah. Right, probably underpaid. And 88 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: I get that. But my problem with Kenny Walker is 89 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: that I don't know what he is because the Seahawks 90 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: have never allowed him to be anything besides. 91 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 5: What he's been until last month exactly. 92 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: And the last month the guy exploded, I mean, Dick 93 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: and guys, we mentioned these numbers on the show after 94 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. In the final six games of the year, 95 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: he went for five sixty one on the ground, two 96 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: ten through the air, five rushing touchdowns, five and a 97 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: half yards per carry. If you extrapolate those numbers out 98 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: over a seventeen game season, he would have had two thousand, 99 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty four total yards of offense, fifty 100 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: one catches, four hundred yards receiving, sixteen hundred yards rushing 101 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: on three hundred carries. Now again, I get it, it's 102 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: not seventeen games, it's six games. 103 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: But what is Kenny Walker? 104 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you and I were sitting here in like 105 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: October when Mike McDonald came out and both of us 106 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: kind of like said, that's weird when he said, you know, 107 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: he's proving he deserves more carries, and all of us 108 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: were like, what's he doing to not deserve more carries? 109 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: Maybe this is Kenny Walker. Maybe what we're seeing in the. 110 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: Last six weeks, seven weeks is the rio Kenny Walker 111 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: that when you play him, he can be that guy 112 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: that you're talking about. Because he put up his numbers 113 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: were ridiculous in the final six game. I mean, he 114 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: blew away my expectations. Honestly, Like when Sharbonney went down, 115 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: we all thought, all right, you got no choice. Cannine's 116 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: got to carry the load. I didn't think he could 117 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: do it, dude, I did not think he would do 118 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: what he did. He even exceeded my expectations by one 119 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: hundred miles. So when you say he's not those guys, 120 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: are we sure we know what Kenny Walker is? 121 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 3: No, we don't, but we know how big he is, 122 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 3: and usually guys of that size are not going to 123 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 3: be able to carry the ball two hundred and seventy 124 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: five times a year. I mean, I just think that 125 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 3: I think we were blessed twofold. We were blessed that 126 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: Ken Walker was saved over the first. 127 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 5: Three months of the season. 128 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think that paid dividends in January because 129 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,119 Speaker 3: he had to play twenty games, right, And I also 130 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: think I agree with you, and you know this isn't 131 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 3: suppose this isn't meant by Hugh or myself to be 132 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: mean towards Zach Sharbonay. I think we were a little 133 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: bit blessed that ken Walker was the only guy they 134 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: could go to because I think everybody agrees that a 135 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 3: ken Walker at his best is better than a Zach 136 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: Charbonay his best. And every time you would have given 137 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: Ken Zach Charbonay the ball against the Rams and against 138 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: the Patriots is a time you're not giving ken Walker 139 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: the ball against the Rams and the Patriots. And I 140 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 3: think we were better off having Ken get all those times. 141 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 6: Well. 142 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I get why they did it, because they 143 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: want to keep him healthy. And for the first time 144 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: in his life, the guy played a full season, right, 145 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: I mean, he he had missed ten games in three 146 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: years up until this season, and then he plays in 147 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: seventeen because of what they did with Zach Sharboney. 148 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: So I get it. 149 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: I just don't even know if the Hawks know Dick 150 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: what this guy is, and the fear is that he 151 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: goes somewhere else and he ends up being the same 152 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: guy for that team that he was for us in the. 153 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: Final six weeks of the year. 154 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: And look, I mean, Greg said and cross talk, and 155 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: who knows if he's right or not, but his his speculation. 156 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: I asked him one of the odds that he comes back, 157 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: and he said forty percent. It's like, wow, really. 158 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: So, I mean, the Titans have money, the Jets have money, 159 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: The Commanders have money. Like dude, the Titans have like 160 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars to spend in free agency, and 161 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: they got Tony Pollard in the last year of his 162 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,119 Speaker 1: deal and he's only got two million dollars in dead money. 163 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: They could easily blow the market away and go get 164 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: Kenny Walker. The Jets have Briess Hall as a free agent. 165 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: They want to swap one guy for the other. Commanders 166 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: have Krossky Merrit who's got three years left on his contract, 167 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: but it's this rookie deal. They're not spending any money 168 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: on running backs. So my fear is that if this 169 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: thing goes to free agency, that someone's gonna step in 170 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: and just make a stupid offer. For Kenny Walker, and 171 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: the Hawks are gonna have no choice but to say no. 172 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: And look, I don't know what I mean. The draft 173 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: doesn't look great for running backs. But even if the 174 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: draft did look good for running backs, those are unproven commodities, 175 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: right who these guys could be turds for crying out loud. 176 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: So what I don't want to do is I don't 177 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: want to open the year with two new guys, right 178 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: And if you lose Kenny Walker, that's what you're doing. 179 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: You're gonna open the year with two new guys at 180 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: the top of the food chained running back. 181 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 5: I just think that the teams are going to have 182 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 5: a lot of. 183 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 3: They're gonna have a lot of power in negotiation with 184 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: ken Walker because kin Walker has never rushed for more 185 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: than one thousand and fifty yards in a set. He 186 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 3: has never rushed for more than nine touchdowns. Ken Walker's 187 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: numbers aren't close to what these other guys. Josh Jacobs 188 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: when he got his contract the four years, forty eight million, 189 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: So I just don't know how kN Walker's gonna get 190 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: that type of contract. 191 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how he's gonna be valued. I honestly 192 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: have no idea to do owners in GMS, and really 193 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: its owners right when it comes down to it, all 194 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: it takes is one more on owner to come down 195 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: and tell this guy go get that dude and pay 196 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: whatever he wants. Do they view him as the guy 197 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: that went bananas over six games or do they view 198 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: him as the guy that couldn't stay healthy until this 199 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 1: year and was a complimentary guy. 200 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: Timmy Smith went Super Bowl too, doesn't mean he belonged 201 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: to I deserved all that. 202 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: Well, but Timmy Smith up until that game had done nothing. 203 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Kenny Walker's played four years in the NA 204 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: follows had been a good running. I mean Timmy Smith 205 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: was the epitome of the one and done. He showed 206 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: up the morning of the game and then left after 207 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: the game was over. We're gonna break.

So like I kind of see my name 255 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 9: floating around, and I do a pretty good job of 256 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 9: not looking too far into it. Like I said in 257 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 9: an interview the other day, like rumors are just rumors, right, 258 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 9: so you never really know. 259 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 10: And things started to ramp up. 260 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 9: It was like GM meetings when things like kind of 261 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 9: got flooded, and then it was like winter meetings and 262 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 9: things got flooded, and then after the new year it. 263 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 10: Was kind of like radio silent. 264 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 9: So I wasn't really sure. I knew that Seattle was 265 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 9: in the mix. I knew that San Francisco was in 266 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 9: the mix. I wasn't sure what else. That was just 267 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 9: kind of what I was hearing.

And once that happens, it that's just like, 273 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 9: you know, I just worry about my family, right. I 274 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 9: think in baseball teaches you how to be adaptable, how 275 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 9: to how to just move on the fly. But and 276 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 9: that's one thing is like when I got the call 277 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 9: from the from the Cardinals, and then when I got 278 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 9: a call from Jerry, I was like, this is a 279 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 9: real thing, and let me tell you what So telling 280 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 9: you I was worried about my family.

I 333 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 9: like to play hard, you know, And I think that 334 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 9: this game is so crazy that you can't really control much, right. 335 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 9: I mean, I can hit the ball good, and I 336 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 9: can't control if I get a hit or not. But 337 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 9: I can control my preparation, my mentality, my effort, and 338 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 9: those are the three things that I really try to 339 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 9: lean into. 340 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 10: And I feel like that also. 341 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 9: Kind of takes the I mean, there's always going to 342 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 9: be pressure, and I'm not gonna sit here and say 343 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 9: that there's not. There will always be pressure at this level. 344 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 9: But I think if I can focus things and bucket 345 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 9: them into what am I focused on, I think it 346 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 9: can help with that. 347 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 10: Also, hitting's like being in a row boat. 348 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 8: You got to keep your ore in the water otherwise 349 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 8: you'll get off balance. 350 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 4: That's a little sites Are for you. 351 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, little Kevin Sitzer for you right there. 352 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 10: I think you just morphed into him for a second. 353 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 8: Brendan Donovan with us the newest Mariner. I mean, we 354 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 8: just talked to Jerry early this week and he says, 355 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 8: third base. You've played a lot of different positions. Are 356 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 8: you ready to tackle third base like all out or 357 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 8: are you in your back of your head saying I'm 358 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 8: just gonna be ready and. 359 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 10: Prepared for all the rest of this stuff too. 360 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 9: No, I'm gonna go ahead first. And it's been it's 361 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 9: been a few years since I played third base. But 362 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 9: you know, obviously we got the best info coach in 363 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 9: the world, so that helps too. But you know, I 364 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 9: want to be on the field, so it doesn't it 365 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 9: doesn't really matter where. I could care less. If you 366 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 9: need me to play third base, I got you. If 367 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 9: you need me to go run around somewhere else, I 368 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 9: got you. I think that's kind of that attitude as 369 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 9: a young player. I took an approach of like, I 370 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 9: want to be on the field and I want to 371 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 9: be here and I want to help us win. So 372 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 9: I need to solve a prop what is that problem? 373 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 9: I need to be able to spill guys, give them 374 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 9: days off. And I think that kind of taught me 375 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 9: a little bit more about the utility role, and that 376 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 9: kind of helped me with being comfortable being uncomfortable, because 377 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 9: when you're at a new spot yet and ben in 378 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 9: a while, it's a little uncomfortable. And I'm being honest, 379 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 9: I'm a little uncomfortable. But that's okay because we're working 380 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 9: at it. We're making sure that we're getting some strong, 381 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 9: accurate throws across the infield. We're working our feet getting 382 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 9: ready for some hot shots at the hot corner, and 383 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 9: I'm I'm really excited for a new new task and 384 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 9: a new challenge. 385 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 11: It's gonna be fun to watch when it comes to 386 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 11: you at the plate. I mean, you know, career two 387 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 11: eighty hitters somewhere around there. I mean, that's that's like 388 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 11: hitting three forty back when I was playing. And what 389 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 11: is it that you do when you're at the plate 390 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 11: that makes you more of a guy that you know 391 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 11: handles the stick versus going up there and is okay 392 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 11: with walking back to the dugout with two hundred bunchies 393 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 11: a year? 394 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, I do not like striking out. I cannot stand it. 395 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 9: I'm a firm believer in trying to stay inside the 396 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 9: strike zone. I mean there's times so you do have 397 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 9: to tip your cap app and you're never gonna see 398 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 9: me walk back to the Doug happier looking. 399 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 10: Content like I'm gonna be a little pissed off, but 400 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 10: that's okay. 401 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 9: But I just feel like if I can put the 402 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 9: ball in play, if I can go on the right 403 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 9: pitch and put the ball and play, I have a chance. 404 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 10: It gives us a chance. 405 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 9: I can't really do anything if I'm walking back to 406 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 9: the dugout, and that's kind of how I see it. 407 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 9: I've really tried to lean into my game, and there's 408 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 9: been times where I think. 409 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 10: I hit the ball a little bit harder each year. 410 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 9: I think that comes with growth and maturity and being 411 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 9: understanding the game a little bit more and taking more 412 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 9: shots and learning how my body understands and maybe getting 413 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 9: a little stronger as I get older. But I want 414 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 9: to be myself, and myself is staying inside the strike zone, 415 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 9: trying to put the good, good part of the bat 416 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 9: on a ball that's over the middle and go from there. 417 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 9: A couple of things that I'm working on right now 418 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 9: as we ramp up, because I do tend to have 419 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 9: a little bit more of a passive approaching spring training. 420 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 9: I will work on getting my swing off a little 421 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 9: bit more. I have to kind of get my mind 422 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 9: in the frame of like, hey, you need to be 423 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 9: ready to go, ready to go, ready to go, and 424 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 9: then I can always dial it back because that's just 425 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 9: kind of how I am as a player. But I 426 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 9: make my practice very very challenging. I want my practice 427 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 9: to be it's never gonna look easy or slow out there. 428 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 9: But I want my practice to be like, my goodness, 429 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 9: like this is this is not this is not very fun. 430 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 9: And I want to take that approach off with the 431 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 9: traject machine, mix VP, whatever it is. And I want 432 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 9: to do that so I can fail out there and 433 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 9: I got a chance of success on the field. 434 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 8: Well, you face our pitching staff enough to this spring, 435 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 8: and then you'll make it about as difficult. 436 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 4: As you as you need it to be. Yeah. 437 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 10: I just got Gilbert Munos inspire.

I 456 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 9: don't mind being the first in the fire. That's okay 457 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 9: with me. Try to have a good at bat, you know, 458 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 9: relay some information, maybe create some havoc out there. 459 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 10: You know. 460 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 9: I'm healthy now. I had a little bit of an 461 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 9: operation and kind of cleaned up some things. So I'm 462 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 9: looking to run a little bit more this year. Last 463 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 9: few years have kind of been dealing with something, but 464 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 9: we got to clean up this offseason. I'm feeling great physically, 465 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 9: so that's something that I'm looking forward to doing. But honestly, man, 466 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 9: I don't I don't really care. Kind of the same thing, 467 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 9: you know, as a young player kind of hitting all 468 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 9: over the lineup. Like I said, I just want to 469 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 9: be in there. 470 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean I knew that. I was only 471 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 4: like goosebumps easily. I think he's got them over. 472 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 10: Well. 473 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: I just hearing a ballplayer talk about playing ball. 474 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 4: But he's old school ball player. 475 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 11: You can tell, Like, I mean, you're talking the military background, 476 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 11: You're coming on here and talking about things with the mentality, 477 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 11: about the mentality, So what is it about your mentality 478 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 11: that that you would probably pride yourself on. 479 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 9: I would imagine, obviously this game is frustrating, right, but 480 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 9: I try not to ever throw anything. 481 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 10: You know, you know how it can get. 482 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 9: You know, you have some rough spells and that helmet's 483 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 9: looking at you a little funny, and sometimes you want 484 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 9: to you want to see what it looks like on 485 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 9: the ground. But I pride myself I'm not I'm not 486 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 9: doing that like I wanna. This is gonna sound a 487 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 9: little crazy, but the body, the body to mean, doesn't 488 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 9: really know the difference between right and wrong. It just 489 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 9: gets reactions to the nervous system. So I want to 490 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 9: just like try to hammer it with as much positivity 491 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 9: as possible. But that's how I'm speaking, how I'm reacting 492 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 9: to things, you know, getting excited when you when you 493 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 9: do something right in the cage, so you can kind 494 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 9: of help build that muscle memory. But then like kind 495 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 9: of coming back to the training, right the mint that 496 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 9: that's kind of where that mentality comes from. It's like, man, 497 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 9: I have just faced the hard thing off this traject, 498 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 9: and that traject is no fun. 499 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 10: Have you seen it? 500 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 8: No? 501 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 10: Oh, you might have to peek your head in there 502 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 10: and take it. 503 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 4: I saw a video of you hitting off of it. 504 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 10: It's not fun. 505 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 4: It looks like it it's coming in there firm. 506 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 10: Yeah, so it's it. 507 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 9: It's it's a hologram, and the machine actually changes in 508 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 9: an orients. 509 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 10: The ball exactly how the shape of it. 510 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 9: And we take the best thing that guy throws, and 511 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 9: you can move it around the best shape, best velocity, 512 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 9: best whatever, his best bolt, the nastiest.

And I'll let him get back to their lunch. 585 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: So if your dad comes over to you and says, 586 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: treat your mom good and don't get in trouble. And 587 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: your dad is a retired US Army officer who served 588 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: as a senior aviator, earned the Bronze Star and Legion. 589 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 2: Of Merit, you do what your dad says. 590 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: Okay, So now we know where Brendan Donovan got all 591 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: of his morals from his father. For God's sakes, Man, 592 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: that was awesome. That was really fun to hear Brendon 593 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: Donovan with Chuck and Buck. You're right, Jackson is really 594 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: well done by the guys in Peoria this morning. It 595 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: was kind of funny because we heard him say he 596 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: wants to run more like minute. So they got fifteen 597 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: stolen bases in four years, for God's sake. So he 598 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: hasn't already been a runner, but the majority of his 599 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: bats with Saint Louis Dick came in the leadoff Spoty, 600 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: he's never really been a guy that's gonna go out 601 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: there and make pitchers nervous. 602 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: No, but I love the fact that he hates striking out, 603 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 3: because that's a pet peeve of mine. Baseball in twenty 604 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: twenty six is how many guys just swing for the 605 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 3: fences and they really don't give a rats ass if 606 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 3: they go sit down after a strike. 607 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 5: Because for a leadoff herectly for a leadof hitter. 608 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 3: And we've had plenty of leadoff hitters strikeout on this 609 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 3: baseball team the last few years, and this leadoff spot 610 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 3: has been a problem. Last year, the Mariners leadoff spot 611 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: hit two thirty seven with a six fifty nine OPS. 612 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: It was as bad as just about any other slot 613 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 3: in the lineup. In fact, eighth the ninth were just 614 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 3: barely worse than one. So from two to seven you 615 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: were in good shape on this team. Last year one, eight, 616 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 3: nine you. 617 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 2: Were bad, and the words of rich More not good. 618 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: I will say this that every team's got a hole, though, right, 619 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean, to be phenomenal from one through nine. That's 620 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: really hard to do, man. I mean, there's gonna be 621 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: a hole in somebody's lineup somewhere. 622 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 5: You don't want it to one, you don't. 623 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 2: You'd rather have it. 624 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: An eight or nine. You know, I get that, And 625 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: you're right. The Mariners have had problems filling the leadoff spot. 626 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: But if he's not gonna steal bases, I mean, you know, 627 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I want my leadoff hitter to be a 628 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty stolen based guy every single year. 629 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if they believe that Donovan can do it. 630 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: Maybe they think he was underutilized a little bit in 631 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: that regard in Saint Louis. I mean, how we were 632 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: looking at Naylor's numbers during the interview. There's a guy 633 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: that had twenty five stolen bases in what six years 634 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: before he came to Arizona, and then he had thirty 635 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: last year between the d Backs and the Mariners combined, 636 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: including nineteen in fifty four games. So maybe they've unlocked 637 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: something with this guy. Maybe we'll see a guy that's 638 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: gonna go for twenty five thirty bags in twenty twenty six, 639 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: but eight twelve ops career against Righty's has spent the 640 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 1: majority of his of his short career so far, it's 641 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: only been four years. I mean, the guy is, you 642 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 1: know what, almost thirty years old. It has only been 643 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: in baseball for four years. For guys, say, got caught 644 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: up when he was twenty five years old. So I'm 645 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: really curious to see how they use them, what they 646 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: can get out of him that maybe the Cardinals did 647 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: not get out of him. But sounds like he's gonna 648 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: be a go to guy in the clubhouse. Man, there's 649 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: no question about that. 650 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: Well, Naylor proved that it's more technique than it is 651 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 3: speed in stealing bases.

I need Donnie at the. 733 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 12: League and the new commissioner to explain to me the 734 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 12: disparity in the officiating.

Okay, 735 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 12: And again, I understand if you're not calling that, that's fine. 736 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 12: You had the exact same play at both ends in 737 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 12: the last play of the game, the exact same big play, 738 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 12: the exact same play. Okay, there was nothing, nothing that 739 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 12: should have been called a technical foul. 740 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: I know when I earned one. I did not earn. 741 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 12: One, Nope, nope, and King Wetstone called the call the 742 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 12: technical foul. He avoided me the rest of the game. 743 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 12: That's not right, o heay, I was not combative in 744 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 12: any way. 745 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: So the tech must have led to three points or whatever, 746 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: maybe the difference in the game. 747 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 5: He was under control for a while and then he 748 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 5: kind of went weak. 749 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, he just kind of snatched me. 750 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: I think he's right that coaches should be allowed to 751 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: decide when they've done something to deserve a technical, not 752 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: the officials they call it technical.
