1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: It's time for our weekly conversation with Bill Krueger, brought 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: to you by the brand new Occidental Hall next to 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: Lumanfield on Occidental, Seattle's newest hut spot for sports fans 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: with massive HD screens and a menu backed with Seattle's 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: best smash burger, wings and the best local craft beers 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: in town. Now with Bill Krueger, here's Saffian Dick. 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 2: You know, I got to assume that if you're coming 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 2: down to Occidental to trying to grab a table at 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 2: one of the bars here, like Jimmy's or Occidental your Fried, 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: just bypass it and go right into the ballpark, man, 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: right into the stadium. 12 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 3: Well, here he is, Man. 13 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: This is the reason why we have these guys on 14 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: the air. This is the moment that we've been waiting for. 15 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: To talk to Bill Krueger about the Mariners being two 16 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: wins away from the World Series. It's almost hard to 17 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: spit the words out, Man. But here we are, Billy, 18 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: and we are literally, potentially, let's face it, maybe twenty 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: eight hours away from seeing this team in the World Series. 20 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: It's almost overwhelming when you think about it. Billy, how 21 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: are you man? Great to visit with you what's going 22 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: through your mind right now as we're sitting year an 23 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: hour away from Game three. 24 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 4: Well, I think it's just what's going through my mind 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 4: is just thinking about the long history of the Seattle 26 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 4: Mariners that's been somewhat toilet with so many great players 27 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 4: and so many great you know, just just great teams 28 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 4: that could never get there. A record setting team in 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 4: two thousand and one, the fabulous talented teams of the 30 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 4: late nineties, and yet here we are with a team 31 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 4: that's never been this far in the playoffs after all 32 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 4: that time and all those many Hall of Fame leable players, 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 4: that this group has a real chance to get to 34 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 4: the World Series, a very good chance. So that's exciting, 35 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 4: and it makes me reflect upon my time with the 36 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 4: Mariners and all the great players that played with Bill. 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 5: I look back to Friday, September the fifth. The Mariners 38 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 5: were six and fifteen in their last twenty one on 39 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 5: that day with a lost game one of the final 40 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 5: series of the road trip in Atlanta, and we have 41 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 5: gotten to this point. 42 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: How have we gotten to this point from that point? 43 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 4: Well, at that point, the Mariners that had the schedule 44 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: really go against them, they really did. They had a 45 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 4: schedule that was really tough. Have to go two within 46 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: a span of three weeks, have to go and have 47 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 4: two of those weeks played on the East Coast in 48 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 4: hot and human weather and horror really terrific or horrific 49 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 4: travel conditions, and played some pretty good teams and a 50 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: lot of those teams had a bevy of left handed hitting, 51 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: so it was the recipe for a struggle, and the 52 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 4: Mariner struggled. And I just think that it was you know, 53 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 4: matchups make fights, and those were tough matchups for the Mariners. 54 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 4: And I think since then they got into some some 55 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 4: teams that matched well against them that didn't have the 56 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 4: left hand hitting or were teams that weren't in the 57 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 4: playoff hunt, and they got their footing and they got 58 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: their confidence, and their pitching got back in order, and 59 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: they started to pitch well, and the additions to their 60 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 4: lineup started to shine through. And it wasn't necessarily that 61 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 4: it was one guy, but the whole, the whole gauntlet 62 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 4: of guys that they had in their lineup has really 63 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 4: served them well because no one player has to make 64 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 4: the difference. It doesn't have to be cal raally, it 65 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: doesn't have to be Luio Rodriguez. It doesn't have to 66 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 4: beat Hi and we've seen that play out because Lako 67 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 4: Joor Polanco has done over the past two serieses, he's 68 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 4: been the difference maker. So I think that gives this 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 4: team a lot of confidence, right, And they survived the 70 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 4: Detroit series, which they almost got put into a different 71 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: cat matchup scenario where they've played, you know, aj Hinch's 72 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 4: game almost to the point where he was able, he 73 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 4: was almost able to beat the Mariners. I don't think 74 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 4: they're in that place now. Toronto is a much better 75 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 4: matchup for the Mariners, and it's showing. 76 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: Listen, guys, here's the deal. 77 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: And we've been kind of reflecting here a little bit 78 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: to start the segment. Ye, there's gonna be plenty of 79 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: time for that, you know, if they pull this off, 80 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: there's gonna be well, I don't even know if it's 81 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: DVDs anymore, but we have Mayo my videotape from ninety 82 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: five at Cunningham narrating that great Husky run in ninety 83 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: one back in the day, things like that, So there 84 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: will be a time for all of that. The only 85 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: thing that matters to me right now is winning this 86 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: game tonight, Bill and acting like you're the team that's 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: down two games to non. So let's talk about Shane Bieber, right, 88 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: former Cy Young Award winner, acquired at the deadline by 89 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: Toronto from the Guardians. 90 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,119 Speaker 3: He was on the IL, he had Tommy John. 91 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: He's made seven starts eight if you include the Yankee 92 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: game in game three. What is the key to getting 93 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: to Shane Bieber tonight and knocking him out early? 94 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 4: Well, Shane Bieber is a crafty pitcher. He's not overpowering. 95 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: He has great breaking stuff. He understands how to make 96 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: you make it difficult on you. He understands hit her profile. 97 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: So he's not going to miss a step as far 98 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 4: as strategically how to face the Mariners. But this is 99 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 4: the Mariner club that has some very interesting hitters on 100 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 4: our team. We have hitters that handle the breaking ball. 101 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: We have three of them that if you make mistake 102 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 4: breaking ball pitches to them, they're going to lose it. 103 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 4: Andy Rose, Arena, Julio Rodriguez and Cal Rawley, which is 104 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 4: kind of different. Most teams are all about basketball mistakes. 105 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 4: We have three of our six hitters that really handle 106 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 4: the breaking ball. And I'm actually leading out one others, 107 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: and that's Gino Suarez, who is also a mistake breaking 108 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 4: ball hitter. We're a little more vulnerable to teams with 109 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 4: big fastballs, and so I think that Beaber, even though 110 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 4: he's a great pitcher and he's going to be smart 111 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 4: and he's not a guy that gives up a lot 112 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: of home runs. I think it's a good matchup for 113 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: this team. I think he's going to be forced to 114 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 4: be pretty careful and he's not a guy that's gone 115 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 4: deep in games, and the Jays bullpen hasn't been too great. 116 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 4: So I think the Mirrors are in a good position 117 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: now to be a little better than that because it's 118 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 4: a little more difficult to hit a homer at Team 119 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: Mobile Park. So they're going to lean on slugging. That's 120 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 4: just who they are. But I think they need to 121 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 4: be a little bit more willing to get a walk 122 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 4: or put the ball in play to kind of set 123 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: the table for that one or two slogging opportunities. 124 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 3: Bill, you mentioned Jorge Polanco. 125 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 5: Has this just been matchups that he's taken advantage of 126 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 5: that are to his favor, or as I mentioned in 127 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 5: the last segment, as kids say today, he's just got 128 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 5: that dog in him. There's just certain guys on certain 129 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 5: teams when the spotlight is the brightest, they just love 130 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 5: to come through. 131 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 4: Well, I think he's just a guy that's underappreciated. I mean, 132 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 4: he had such a point in his career where he 133 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 4: looked like he was done, and then he had this 134 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 4: unbelievable start of the season after nobody wanted him, and 135 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,119 Speaker 4: even the Mariner's kind of game late to the party. 136 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 4: Because here's a guy that almost flatlined in his career, 137 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 4: had a Petella knee repair, wasn't ready to play in 138 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 4: spring training, and yet here he is today and he's 139 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 4: a difference maker for the Mariners. What a great pickup 140 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 4: he's been. He's quiet, he's not assuming, he's not a 141 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 4: guy that everybody's paying a whole lot of attention to. 142 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 4: But he's a dangerous guy. And why is he so dangerous. Well, 143 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: he's a switch hitter. Number one, he's experienced, number two 144 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 4: and number three, he's very short. He's short. She's short 145 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 4: to the ball, and that makes him dangerous. That makes 146 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 4: a day. So why I hit a couple homers off 147 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 4: of school ball Because he's short to the baseball, And 148 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 4: I think that Uh, you know, he's tightened up some 149 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 4: of his holes from last year. He just is strong, 150 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 4: stronger and quicker. I don't know how he's pulled it off. 151 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 4: I mean, did he find the path that pugs of 152 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 4: Dali Leone was looking for and found the fountain of youth? 153 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe he did, maybe it thin Clayellham, 154 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 4: who knows, But uh, yeah, I don't know how he's 155 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 4: been able to do it. He did have some struggles 156 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 4: in the middle of the season, but now he's rallied 157 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: back and he's a dangerous cat because he's quick to 158 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: the baseball. He's short, he's got a short swing, and 159 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 4: you better not if you think you're gonna sneak the 160 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 4: rooster pass, you're gonna sneak the sun faster or rooster 161 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 4: with this guy, you're wrong because he can hit a fastball. 162 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: Well. 163 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: So, I mean, what's the key for Kirby? We talk 164 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: about getting the Bieber. I mean, Kirby's been sensational in 165 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: his first two games in the playoffs so far. Uh, 166 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: what do you want to see from from from angry 167 00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: George Kirby tonight? 168 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: Well, George is on a nice role. He's a confident pitcher. 169 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 4: This is a team that doesn't have a really dangerous 170 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 4: component of left hand hitters. They've got a nice collection, 171 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: but not great. He's probably the best guy, and he's 172 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: probably the one you wouldn't think of. They got him 173 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: and z, They've got var Show, they got Barger. These 174 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 4: aren't guys that are gonna be a big problem for him. 175 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 4: They're right hand hitting. Are the guys that you have 176 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 4: to be wary of. And after watching Miller pitch and 177 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: how many fastballs he threw, George has got to be 178 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 4: licking his chops because he's gonna throw a ton of fastballs, 179 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: and he should because the Jays haven't proved they can 180 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: handle it, especially from the right side. And Vladimir Guerrero, 181 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 4: who turned the Yankees on its ear. We're not gonna 182 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 4: show him breaking stuff from left handed pitchers. This is 183 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 4: gonna be fastballs and fastballs in and they've kept him 184 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 4: in check. So all George Kirby, and granted he's gonna 185 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 4: be who he is after watching Bryce Miller pitch, he 186 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: should have the template. That's the template. Bryce Miller throw 187 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 4: a ton of fastballs. He pitched them in. He showed 188 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 4: him breaking stuff, but mostly he pitched with his fastball, 189 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 4: and the Jays they are dangerous when you get into 190 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: long counts with them and they're able to take stuff 191 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: that's a little bit off speed or a little bit 192 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 4: away from them and put balls in play. That's what 193 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 4: they do, and they beat you with paper cuts. And 194 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 4: I think George is gonna man handle them. So that's 195 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 4: the thing. Now, where is it? Where does the danger lie? Is? 196 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 4: How many times can Bizardo pitch? That's the real question, right, 197 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: how many times can he pitch? Can he pitch again? 198 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 4: He's got a rubber arm. He has been the most 199 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 4: the most incredible story, maybe on the team, but certainly 200 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 4: in the bullpen. He's been their best pitcher. Argue with 201 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 4: me on that one. I know Munos had a great year. 202 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 4: I know he went to the All Star Game. I 203 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 4: know Brash is a super unbelievable Nintendo Slider guy. But 204 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 4: for me, the best pitcher in our bullpen is is 205 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 4: where Edward Bizardo. And I probably have under appreciated him 206 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 4: for sure. But can he pitch again tonight? I guess 207 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 4: he can. He's got to rubb her arm. But I 208 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 4: think that's where you kind of would like to see 209 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 4: George carry the game into the seventh inning. Uh, that 210 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 4: would be like, great, Caspire isn't the guy you necessarily 211 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 4: want to say, Hey, he's our seventh inning guy. He's 212 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 4: going to be a complimentary pitcher against this team. He's 213 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 4: not going to be the guy you go to. And 214 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that because he's been nicked up a 215 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 4: little bit. I think it would be great to see 216 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 4: George hands the brash. That would be like, we're going 217 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: to come for the kill. 218 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 5: Then I think, talk to me more about Bizarto, because 219 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 5: you know, we played a cut where somebody was calling 220 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 5: Bryce Miller a journeyman pitcher, which he obviously Carton Craig Carton. 221 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 3: But Bizardo, I mean, he is kind of the definition 222 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 3: of THEI. He's just he's a moron. 223 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 5: But Bizardo is a thirty year old journeyman pitcher. He's 224 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 5: been to Boston, he's been to Baltimore, he's been to Seattle. 225 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: How is he doing this? 226 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 5: Why is Edward Bizardo no longer the mop up guy 227 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 5: that we kind of teased for being for so long. 228 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 4: Well, I think he found a place that believed in 229 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: him and told him that, you know it isn't all 230 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 4: about how hard you throw. That we appreciate the fact 231 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: that he's got good movement and a good breaking ball, 232 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: and we just want to see him succeed with those 233 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 4: pitches and be more willing to pitch in the strike 234 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 4: zone with it and let the movement of your pitches 235 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 4: work for you. And I don't think the Mariners realized 236 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 4: how good he could be because he still started and 237 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 4: you know, kind of in the back of the bullpen, 238 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 4: and he's just gradually worked his way up all the 239 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 4: guys that kind of fell to the side because of 240 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 4: injury or underperformance. He's risen to the point where and 241 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 4: when you really needed someone to pitch in the middle 242 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 4: of the game, he's someding with the guy that could 243 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 4: do it. He not only pitched well when we need 244 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 4: him in even games, he's pitching games where the team's 245 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 4: been ahead. He's one game in games in extra any 246 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 4: which is like astounding in today's game. I mean, when 247 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 4: someone pitches three things out of the bullpen, I want 248 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 4: to think he's an iron man, which is ridiculous, But 249 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 4: I think it's if the guy that matured a little later. 250 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 4: Pitchers can mature later, and he's one of them, and 251 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 4: he's found a role that suits him well, and he's 252 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 4: pitching with confidence. He's got great movement on his fastball, 253 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 4: he wins in the strike zone, he's got great tilt 254 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 4: on his breaking ball, and he's fearless. I think he's 255 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 4: a what a tremendous story he's been. 256 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: No doubt, Hey, Bill, one more from me. 257 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: We started this segment off by saying, Hey, you know 258 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: the fan in you comes out, They're gonna stup on 259 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: their throats, ah bury him tonight, take away their hope right, 260 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 2: bury him in Game three and finish them. What does 261 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: that look like in baseball terms? I think in football, 262 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: we all know what it looks like. It means, go 263 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: rip somebody's head off is what it means in football. 264 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 3: But what does that mean in baseball? 265 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: If you're Dan Wilson and you really really don't want 266 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: this to go back Toronto, and you know that you 267 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: can deliver a hammer death blow tonight in Game three 268 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: and send them one foot to the grave with a 269 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: win tonight, what does that look like in baseball terms? 270 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 2: How Dan Wilson maybe manage this game different if he 271 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: really wants to step on their throats tonight? 272 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 4: And finish them well, when you have to let the 273 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 4: game come to you. He needs to let players play, 274 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 4: and the Mariners will play good baseball, and they're going 275 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 4: to have a crowd that's going to be rowdy and 276 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: loud and behind them. And it's clear this team gets 277 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 4: a tailwind from them. They get a real push. It's 278 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 4: shown up since the clouds started showing up in September, 279 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 4: So that's going to work in their favor. This is 280 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 4: the crowd that's going to be loud. They're not going 281 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 4: to go quiet. If the Mariners will score the first 282 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 4: ratings like Toronto's crowd did, it went really quiet, right, 283 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 4: So I think that works in their favor, and I 284 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 4: think the matchup favors the Mariners. If the trip to 285 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 4: the Blue Jays can't start posting some runs, it's going 286 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 4: to start to lay heavy on them, right. If Carrero 287 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 4: doesn't show up and we continue to they continue to 288 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 4: pound it inside and he can't get it done, the 289 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 4: Jays are going to be in trouble. And so I 290 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 4: think the game comes to the Mariners. The Mariners sit 291 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 4: in the driver's seat. They have an excellent starting pitcher, 292 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 4: They've got two guys at the end that they don't 293 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: that the Lujas don't want to see in Brash and 294 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 4: Munio's and it's a lineup that's that's hard because they're slugging. 295 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 4: There's that moment of the home run ball where the 296 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 4: Jays don't have that they got it. They gotta spring 297 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 4: hits together and that's going to be tough against our pitching. 298 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 4: So I think Dan Wilson needs to let the game 299 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 4: come to him. And you know, my only suggestion would be, Hey, 300 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 4: you know, you're going to try to play to what 301 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 4: the situation asked you to play too. And he had 302 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 4: a great feel, not strong, he was flat, and he 303 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 4: got him out of there quick and he was able 304 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 4: to because Bryce Miller pitched six and he's have Bizarro 305 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 4: when he really really needed him, and that's where he 306 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 4: performed and was brilliant. Again. I think George needs some rope. 307 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 4: I need to give him some room. I don't think 308 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: he's going to make the colossal mistake that he's that 309 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 4: he made in his last start. He's going to learn 310 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 4: from that. There's no lefty that's got that kind of 311 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 4: that's going to do that to him. So I'd like 312 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 4: to see like I'd like to see him give Georgia 313 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 4: little rope, but a three run home ern in the 314 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: game weren't hurt, right, So let the game come to you, Dan, 315 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 4: and I think the Mariners are a good place to win. 316 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 4: I think it's it, you know. I know we want 317 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 4: to see him whitewash him, but I think they're in 318 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: the driver's seat to win it. I'm not so sure 319 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: they can beat him four roh, but hey, could happen. 320 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 5: Bill, What do you think about the decisions that Dan 321 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 5: and Jerry have made on who's starting what game in 322 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 5: this series? 323 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a it's an excess of riches, right, 324 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 4: and some of it has been fatigue, right. But I 325 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 4: think you know, when you feel like you have options 326 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 4: and your number one starter isn't even pitching, that should 327 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: tell you something about how deep you are, right, I 328 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 4: mean pretty remarkable how deep this team is. And these 329 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 4: two guys like castill you and we're stepping up in 330 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 4: the game that's need to sit side of the season. 331 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: The game that they had to win, the fifth game 332 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: against Detroit, where those two guys came through its pages 333 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 4: and shows you why the starting picture is the best 334 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 4: picture of the game. Don't forget that. Who the best 335 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 4: pictures are. They're the starters, don't forget that. And uh, 336 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 4: you know, I think we could argue it, and I 337 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: think you know they they uh, they've had it right 338 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 4: so far, so you got to let them make those decisions. 339 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 4: I think you can't really go wrong. Is it cast You, 340 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 4: is it Gilbert? Is it Kirby? I mean yeah? And 341 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 4: then it's Miller when you didn't even expect it.

Most teams 344 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,239 Speaker 4: would be dead without the number one starter. 345 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: Right, all right, Billy, great stuff man, let's uh, let's 346 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: hope you're wrong about not getting the sweep, because I'm 347 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: not sure if I can take. 348 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 4: It to be somewhat of a real. 349 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: Get enough for your realism.

And 436 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 8: I had the privilege to sit next to David, the 437 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 8: Hall of Fame broadcaster for twenty five years, and he 438 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 8: taught me so much. He's one of the main lessons 439 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 8: he taught me was it if it's a bad game, 440 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 8: it doesn't have to be a bad bra guests.

How does what we saw on 454 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 5: Friday with Jorge Polonco, in your opinion, compare with those 455 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 5: two moments in Mariner history. 456 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 8: You know, that's right up there, Dick and Softie, It's 457 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 8: right there with one of the greatest games ever played 458 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 8: with de Lonco getting to walk off face in in 459 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 8: the bottom of the fifteenth inning thirty years before that, 460 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 8: almost to the day where Edgar hit the double down 461 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 8: the left field line to put us, you know, into 462 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 8: the postseason after winning that one game, actually winning the 463 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 8: Mechland Division Series in Game five against the New York 464 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 8: Yankees and soho the big hit in the one game playoff. 465 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 8: But it's right up there. It's one of the greatest 466 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 8: games of all time in the history of this franchise. 467 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 8: And right now, Hore Ploco's becoming part of Mariners lore 468 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 8: because he's got eight hits, eight RBIs in this postseason. 469 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 8: He had two home runs off of Trek Skoobel, the 470 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 8: game's best pitcher, and then later onto the ballgame with 471 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 8: the game tied to two, cal and Julio Head the 472 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 8: back to back doubles and the Mariners win that game 473 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 8: three to two. Is Game two of the Division Series, 474 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 8: which is the best of five. If they don't win 475 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 8: that game, they're in deep trouble. But they won the 476 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 8: game because of Placo. Blocko had the walkoff they hit 477 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 8: in the fifteenth inning in Game five, and then you know, 478 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 8: he's got the two singles to give the Mariners them 479 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 8: a tie and a lead against the Blue Jays in Toronto. 480 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 8: And that's why the Mariners are here right now at 481 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 8: two and zero with a chance to u with two 482 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 8: more ones to get to the World Series. But Flanco 483 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 8: has been absolutely amazing. I just talked to him. I 484 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 8: said five minutes ago, I said, how you do it? 485 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 8: He says, I'm just trying to keep it simple, trying 486 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 8: to hit. 487 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 7: The ball up the middle, and by doing that. 488 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 8: He's come up with some of the biggest hits not 489 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 8: only this year but in the history of the franchise. 490 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about this pitching matchup rick tonight, George 491 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: Kirby versus Shane Bieber. You know, Bieber coming off to 492 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: Tommy John Blue Jay's traded for him at the deadline. 493 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: He was actually hurt on the on the IL I 494 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: think when they picked him up, and he's actually been 495 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 2: pretty good. I mean, his era may not show it, 496 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 2: but he's been pretty good for Toronto. So I mean, 497 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: how much do Danny and Pete Woodworth and company let 498 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: Kirby just roll tonight? And we saw the Dodgers last 499 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 2: night Games one and two with Yamamoto and Snell. They're 500 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: gonna ride those guys till their freaking arms fall off. 501 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: So how much do you think Danny will allow George 502 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 2: Kirby to go out there as long as he's feeling 503 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 2: it and just own this thing tonight. 504 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 8: I'll tell you what. As long as he's feeling it 505 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 8: and he's rolling. You know, he said what thirty one 506 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 8: strikeouts in his last three outings during the course of 507 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 8: the regular season, I think they're going to try to 508 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 8: ride him as long as he's you know, getting people 509 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 8: out having quick innings, quick outs. I think they're going 510 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 8: to try to let him go deep in the game 511 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 8: because now the pitching has been reset because of what 512 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 8: Bryce Miller did in Game one allowed him to reset. 513 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 8: Miller went on three days rest and he went six innings. 514 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 8: They would have been happy with four, but he goes 515 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 8: six and now you get your high leverage guys. Fire 516 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 8: has been great this year. Spire Brash Munos and the 517 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 8: Mariners win that game, and then Logan Gilbert doing the 518 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 8: next night on two days rest because he pitched two 519 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 8: innings in the marathon a few days before that. So 520 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 8: I think with George now getting the start tonight, third 521 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 8: start of the postseason, on four days rest, pitching on 522 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 8: his fifth day, he's ready to go. I think as 523 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 8: long as he possibly can. I didn't talk to Danny 524 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 8: you know about that this morning, but I think that's 525 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 8: the plan. But it is the postseason, and you know, 526 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 8: anything can happen. You know, you try to all hands 527 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 8: on that kind of thing. But I think George is 528 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 8: ready to go deep in this game. 529 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 5: Rick talk about the importance of having a guy like 530 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 5: Mitch Garver in the clubhouse to remind the team what 531 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 5: it's like to win two on the road and then 532 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 5: get swept. 533 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 3: In three in a row at all. Yeah, in a 534 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 3: playoff series. 535 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it reminds us that it's baseball. The 536 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 8: Mariners want to get this done in a hurry. They 537 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 8: win two games in the road, and the Rangers came 538 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 8: home and lost three in a row. What was it 539 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 8: to Houston? And then they came back and won. But 540 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 8: it's never over till it's over. They know that, and 541 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 8: they're going to go after the Toronto Blue Chase tonight 542 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 8: like it's Game one of the postseason because they want 543 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 8: to get the job done. They don't want to take 544 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 8: this thing back to Toronto. They want they got three 545 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 8: games here at home. The goal is now two wins 546 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 8: away from the World Series, and they want to win 547 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 8: tonight one to tomorrow night. They want to wrap it 548 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 8: up as soon as possible. But it's baseball, and you 549 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 8: know Toronto's gonna be everything they've got tonight. But I 550 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 8: think this club is ready.

And that's what's you know again, 654 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 9: that's the essence of October Baseball, dah and last. 655 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 12: Series we talked about just the amount of times you 656 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 12: face certain pictures. This series, face Trade Savage for the 657 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 12: first time. I think you're facing Shane Beeber for the 658 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 12: first time this year as well. Just what was kind 659 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 12: of the difference between last series and having a game 660 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 12: established for guys bar scene compor to this series where 661 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 12: you know, scouting ahead and facing guys. 662 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 7: For the first time. Yeah, I mean I think it 663 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 7: is a little bit different. 664 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 9: I think you you know, again, you you don't really 665 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 9: have as much of an idea until you get in 666 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 9: the box and you physically see it yourself. But you know, 667 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 9: again we go back to Gar and Sites and Bobby 668 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 9: and the work that they do to prepare our hitters, 669 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 9: which is tremendous, and you know, video is a big 670 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 9: part of it, so you get a chance to at 671 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 9: least conceptualize it a little bit inside your head before 672 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 9: you get a chance to see it. And then you 673 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 9: know all the information, all the analytics that we have. 674 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 9: Our analytics teams does such a great job too of 675 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 9: putting together that the pregame stuff, and it does a 676 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 9: great job to prepare our guys and so they're ready 677 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 9: to go when they take the field. 678 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 7: And then again, just like you go out on the 679 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 7: field with a game. 680 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 9: Plan as a pitcher and catcher as a battery, you 681 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 9: do the same thing as a hitter, and then you 682 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 9: have to make your adjustments as you go based on 683 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 9: what your eyes are seeing and what you're experiencing. So 684 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 9: our guys, I think, have done a great job of 685 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 9: that so far, especially against the guys they haven't seen 686 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 9: much all right. 687 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 2: Dan Wilson, Mariner skipper, two games away from the World 688 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 2: series man and win tonight would obviously be gigantic in 689 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: that goal, and let's hope they can pull it off tonight, 690 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 2: and then go to bed tonight thinking about being a 691 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 2: game away from the greatest season in Mariner baseball history 692 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 2: bar none. We've gotta break headlines and then Kevin Harlan 693 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 2: gonna join us talk to some NFL next on 694 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 3: Ninety three three KJRFM.
