1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: I am a friggin god darn mess right now, absolute mess.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: I got in the car this morning. I already told

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: you guys this. I got in the car this morning

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: to go see my mom, who lives about what a

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: mile or so north of me, and ended up driving

6
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: to the Emeral Queen Casino. No idea why, just got

7
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: my get I got to High five and realized I

8
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: was going the wrong way and turn it around. Yeah, okay,

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not supposed to go to the Emerald

10
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 1: Queen Casino. So I've done. I've done no preparation for

11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: this radio show whatsoever. I have nothing on this piece

12
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: of paper for anything but a couple of notes in

13
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: my brain from this morning talking about the stat that

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: we were discussing about the LCS, which I don't really

15
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: want to bring that up, by the way, all right,

16
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: because I look, I don't want to jinx anything and

17
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Jackson jinxes aren't real, jenxues aren't real. All I want

18
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: to do right now for me and I just first

19
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: of all, I gotta be honest with you guys. I

20
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: don't know how far I should go with this description.

21
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to offend anybody, but now I know

22
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: how sometimes my wife feels and that I just every

23
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: now and then just start bursting out into tears. It's incredible,

24
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Like I can't control myself. I cannot control myself. Dick

25
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: getting emotional. I'm thinking about this. I'm calling my friends,

26
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm asking my buddies. Is this really happening? Like this

27
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: is this really happening? Morpheus at the end of the matrix.

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: I've imagined this moment.

29
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: For so long?

30
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Is this real? Is this actually real? And we're not

31
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: there yet, We're not fricking there yet. The only thing

32
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: that matters is kicking their ass tomorrow night in Game three.

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: That's it, because the last thing this baseball team can do, guys,

34
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: is give that team hope. That's the last thing they

35
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: can do. And they have a chance tomorrow. You guys

36
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: know this as well as I. They have a chance

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: tomorrow to bring a sledgehammer to their hopes of making

38
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: the World Series. Talking Toronto, now, put one foot in

39
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: the grave, and here's what's gonna happen tomorrow.

40
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 2: You win this.

41
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Game tomorrow night, and you're gonna have people starting to

42
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: order champagne to be available in that clubhouse on Thursday.

43
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna have broadcasters start to think about what they're

44
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: gonna say when the game comes to an end, if

45
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: they haven't already.

46
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: By the way, Like I remember talking to Tony.

47
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: Casterkuind I've never told the story on the air, and

48
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: I will not how many details unless Tony's cool with it.

49
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: I texted Tony like six seven months after the UW

50
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Michigan game and I said to him, I said, look,

51
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: did you have like a bunch of lines like ready

52
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: to go? Did you know what you were going to

53
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: say if the Husky's beating Michigan to win the National Championship?

54
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: And he sends me back this screenshot of like seven

55
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: or eight things that he was sitting on that, depending

56
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: on the moment, he was going to go with. And

57
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've done things like that yourself too in

58
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: your broadcast career. They win this game tomorrow and Rick Riz,

59
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Goldsmith, Gary Hill, whoever ends up being on the

60
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: call for the end of the game Thursday. They go

61
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: to bed tomorrow night thinking about what they're going to say.

62
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about Dave nee House right now, and

63
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I cannot go ninety minutes without crying.

64
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Guys, I can't do it.

65
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Dave knee House and that line that

66
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: he had when the Mariners beat the Angels in ninety five.

67
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Not the Randy looks to the sky that oops is

68
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: covered by the dome, not that.

69
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: One nineteen long years.

70
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: Well, no, well that's part of it. But when the

71
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: cause it's been longer than that, it's been almost fifty years. Well,

72
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Dave Whitonne what he said when the fans rushed the field,

73
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: Remember that, when the fans rushed the field. I don't

74
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: think we've had a baseball game since then with the

75
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: Mariners where the fans were on the field the way

76
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: they were in ninety five after the one game playoff.

77
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember think they rushed the field in game five,

78
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: Not against the Yankees two thousand, two thousand and one.

79
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: It was the playoff game against the Angels. That's the

80
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: only time I think that's correct, right on the field

81
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: where the only time that fans have been on the

82
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: field is when we beat the Angels in that one

83
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: game playoff in ninety five. And Dave Neihouse said, my friends,

84
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: this is indescribable. Remember that, And that's exactly how this

85
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: is going to feel if they can just find a

86
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: way to pull this off. And a buddy of mine

87
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: who actually works for the Mariners, I won't tell you

88
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: who it is, but his name's Adam, texted me today

89
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: and said, look, man, we got a three game series

90
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: against Toronto at home starting tomorrow.

91
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: Three games, we win the series, and we're going to

92
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: the World Series. That's it.

93
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Five games left to win two of them. So I

94
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about your stats. I don't want

95
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: to hear about your two games to none. What teams do.

96
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: I've seen it all at some possible not to see

97
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: on social media. All I want these guys to do

98
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: is brick by brick, inning by inning, at bat by

99
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: it bat, take away any ounce of hope that they've

100
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: got and crutched them tomorrow night and end this thing.

101
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: And then let's get to Thursday night. And imagine what

102
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: the atmosphere. First of all, tomorrow is going to be

103
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: lunacy at the ballpark. Imagine what it's gonna be like

104
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night if they can win tomorrow, what that atmosphere

105
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: is like at T Mobile Park. And I will say

106
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: one more thing, Dick, one more thing, Sorry, do not

107
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: let money if you can afford it. And I realize

108
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: that for some people that's the context is different.

109
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: I get it.

110
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: If you can find a way to get your ass

111
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: into that ballpark tomorrow or Thursday or Friday, if there

112
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: is a game five, do not in twenty five years

113
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: from now regret not being there if you can afford it,

114
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: whatever it takes.

115
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: This is why you save.

116
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: This is why you have a rainy day fun whatever

117
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: you call your savings account, because that five hundred bucks,

118
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: thousand bucks, fifteen hundred bucks, whatever it is to get

119
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: in the doray and a friend drop five thousand dollars

120
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: today for tickets for Game.

121
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: Three of the World Series.

122
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, if I don't spend the money,

123
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do with the five thousand bucks?

124
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: Just keep it in the savings or going on a vacation.

125
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: Hell no, you got to be there, man, If you

126
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: can afford it, do not allow yourself to pass on

127
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: this opportunity, because there's never going to be a first

128
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: time again after this. Hopefully with this ownership and with

129
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: this general manager and with this president, this will be

130
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: a common theme for us in the next maybe five

131
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: to ten years.

132
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: But the first time. There's never going to be another

133
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: first time.

134
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: And I am begging you, I've got so much regret

135
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: as a sports fan about events that I passed over

136
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: that I did not go to that I am kicking

137
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: myself forever because I was not there. So if you

138
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: can afford this, get there, find a way to get

139
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: your ass in that building. Would I would buy tickets

140
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: for Thursday night right now, because if we win tomorrow night,

141
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: those take a price are gonna skyrocket dick before Thursday's game.

142
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: So if you can afford it, do not let money

143
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: be the reason why you did not find yourself in

144
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: the park this week.

145
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: I think the best explanation of how I'm going about

146
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: this series is let's let's turn it into a football

147
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: game for a second. All Right, we are in the

148
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 3: second quarter of early stages of the second quarter of

149
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: the NFC Championship game right now, and we're up two touchdowns, right,

150
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: We're up fourteen to nothing. And so when you're sitting there,

151
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: I remember, you know, I never got that opportunity against

152
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: the Packers because we were never ahead until the end, right,

153
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: But I did get that opportunity against the Panthers, right.

154
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: I was in the stadium against the Panthers, and I

155
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: think we were up two touchdowns in the first half

156
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: of that game. Yeah, And I remember sitting there going, Okay,

157
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: I'm not celebrating, not celebrating. I'm like physically telling myself

158
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 3: not to celebrate, and I am not celebrating right now.

159
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: And I will allow myself to slightly celebrate if we

160
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: go up three nothing, because us weep would be against

161
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 3: this team and this pitching staff.

162
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: To lose four games in a row would be.

163
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: Almost quotation marks almost impossible against this team. But to

164
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: come back from two down with that offense that they

165
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: got over there and those pictures that they got that

166
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: they can throw at us, it is still very very

167
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: much a serious song, keeping myself very much up fourteen

168
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: to nothing in the early stages of the second quarter.

169
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: Right now, we're one touchdown and all of a sudden,

170
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: you look up Scorpors like, crap, it's a one score game.

171
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: I don't think we can one win, and we go

172
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: to the Bay. We go there Thursday going crap, we

173
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: lose this.

174
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: It's two two.

175
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: We haven't come anywhere near this thing being over. It's

176
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: just not even in my vocabulary. Guys. It's just I mean,

177
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: shame on you if you even have that in your brain.

178
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: Get it out, get it out right now. Don't even

179
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: think about it. It's it's not even close to being over,

180
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: you know. I saw Mark James tweet that last night,

181
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: and I gotta be honest with you. I could have

182
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: gotten in my car and find him and I could

183
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: have punched him. So he said this is over World Series,

184
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: and it made me physically sick.

185
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: Now again he does him, I do me.

186
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: That's fine, okay, okay, but whatever, But no chickens counted

187
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: on this.

188
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: There is not a chance in f and hell I'm

189
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: going down that road, not yet, not even close. And

190
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: I will look you do you, Dick, I'll disagree with you.

191
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Game three, we win it, whatever, I'm not even close

192
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: to that.

193
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: Either.

194
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: It's got to be bottom of the eighth, bottom of

195
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: the ninth, whatever that top of the ninth. This is

196
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: not over until it's over, because we have now reached

197
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: that stage right where it's like critical mass. There's no

198
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: in between. Now we're either gonna be elated with I

199
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: think the greatest sports moment of our lives. For me,

200
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: this will top anything that I've ever been a part of.

201
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: Ever about witty world series are getting to the world Dude,

202
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: I almost think making the world series. Dick, I don't know, Dick,

203
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, here's here's what I don't want

204
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: you to do. Please, for the love of Christ, I'm

205
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: begging you don't put me on the spot this week, which.

206
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: You have to be real careful, seriously.

207
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Because I'm not because I'm not in the mood to

208
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: fight with anybody about what this means to people. People

209
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: say what they want to say. They're freaking emotional, all right,

210
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: they're on edge. This is something we've been waiting for

211
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: for fifty god darn years. So if I'm in the

212
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: mood to sit here and tell you right now that

213
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: this would be the greatest thing I've ever seen in

214
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: my life, and it's bigger than a super Bowl title.

215
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: It may sound idiotic to you, but right now it's

216
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: the way I feel. That's the way I feel right now.

217
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the NFC Championship, and I'm glad that

218
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: you brought that up, because this is the difference. This

219
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: is why I keep telling people this is totally different

220
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: than the super Bowl. Imagine if the super Bowl was

221
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: spread out over four days and each quarter was on

222
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: a different day, and there was a break in between.

223
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you are going to bed every night and

224
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: you're thinking about this. You're preoccupied. You can't do squat,

225
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: you can't focus on anything.

226
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: You don't want to talk to anybody. All you want

227
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: to do is.

228
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: Just talk Mariners and think Mariators and countdown until the

229
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: freaking game starts tomorrow at five oh eight or whatever

230
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the hell time it is. So this is you and

231
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: I growing up, and Jackson's behind us, obviously, But for us,

232
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: the World Series not for us us. It's for other people,

233
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: for the Yankees, the Red Sox, for the Tigers, right,

234
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: it's for the Toronto Blue Jays in the early nineties, whatever, Atlanta,

235
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, blah blah blah, Minnesota.

236
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: It's not for us.

237
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: We've been rejected at every freaking turn, and now to

238
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: be two games away from the World Series and the

239
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: closest we've ever been in our lives. And we've never

240
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: waited for something this long.

241
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: Ever. We didn't wait this long for a Super Bowl,

242
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: we didn't wait this long for.

243
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: The NBA Championship, and we certainly didn't wait this long,

244
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: at least in our lifetime.

245
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: For a college football championship.

246
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: We've never collectively as a city waited this long for anything.

247
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: And the fact that we, dude, in what the hell

248
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: time is that right now it's two fifteen.

249
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: We are fifty one hours away.

250
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: We are potentially fifty five hours away from going to

251
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: the World Series. Fifty five from going to the World Series.

252
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: That's how close it is. You can freaking smell the

253
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: damn thing.

254
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: And what's crazy is that Jackson's generation went through the

255
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: same draught that our generation went through. We went through

256
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: the seventy six to ninety five generation and you went

257
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 3: through the two to twenty twenty five genera. I mean,

258
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: it's it's unbelievable. Now we've just been through two of them, right,

259
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 3: which is fought and real. But you're exactly right. I mean,

260
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: the Sonics went growing up, the Sonics were always good.

261
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean they always had a great season every year,

262
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: but you always felt like, the Sonics are good. They

263
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: won a championship already, they're gonna win a championship again,

264
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: which they never did, but they got close. You know,

265
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 3: the Seahawks were always you know, you get Chuck Knocks

266
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: got there, Dave and I only like ten years old.

267
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: When Chuck Knock got we were like, the Seahawks are

268
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: good man, We're one step away from the super Bowl.

269
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: We're gonna get here eventually, and we did. But he

270
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: is exactly right. There was never a thought, Jackson. There

271
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: was never an steam going that the Mariners were gonna

272
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: make the world.

273
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: It's like being that nerdy guy in high school and

274
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: the the prom queen. You got no shot, No she

275
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: got it, you got no shot, And then here she

276
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: is right in front, here she is. It is interesting because,

277
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: as you know, as.

278
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 5: A thirty three year old, it is funny because I

279
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 5: had this conversation with another thirty three year old while

280
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 5: watching Game two. And for us, in our adult life,

281
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 5: we were we weren't really conscious and oh one to

282
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 5: like really soak in what it meant. So for us,

283
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 5: this is the first time in our adult lives we've

284
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: been in a big playoff series. You think sonics right, like,

285
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 5: that's all the way back. And this is a new

286
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 5: concept to my brain and to my generation's brain of

287
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,359
Speaker 5: exactly what you guys said series.

288
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: Because you went through the Hawks that wasn't a series.

289
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.

290
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 5: It's where every single game is a quarter when it

291
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 5: comes to a game every day, and that's that's a

292
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 5: different mental jump on different It's a I don't understand

293
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 5: how your brains dealt with this for Sonics and Mariners

294
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 5: series over this, because I honestly it's short circuiting trying

295
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: to understand how to operate on a daily basis.

296
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing for me, all right, and we'll

297
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: just wrap it up.

298
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: We'll get to a breakwere here from Dan Wilson right

299
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: a little bit, next segment, Who is the podium with

300
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: the media today before before Game three? I in our business,

301
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: our job is to describe the way that we're feeling,

302
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: whether our opinions, our emotions, whatever insight you know, blah

303
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: blah blah. I'm just telling you guys right now that

304
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time doing that, all right. I'm

305
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: having a hard time expressing the emotions that come along

306
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: with something like this. This is bigger than anything I've

307
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: ever felt in my life as a sportsman anything, And

308
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: maybe I'll feel differently in five years from now, Dick,

309
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: when we've been there three times, maybe when it's over

310
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: and you asked me, so, how do you feel now?

311
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll give you a totally different answer. This thing

312
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: is done right now in the moment today, I have

313
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: a hard time putting words together what this means to me.

314
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: So whatever, Well, you've always rooted for the city that

315
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 3: never gets it, right, you root it for the Cleveland Cavaliers,

316
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 3: and this is us.

317
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: This is different, man.

318
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying is now you're rooting for the

319
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 3: city that never got it, and it's actually us.

320
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: This is super special, man, super special. So let's let's

Speaker 2: Got, crush it and put them in a situation.

00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,840

338
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: we will do factor fiction. And because it's us filling in,

339
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: then we get to make the pick and we get

340
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: credit for it.

341
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: Wrong.

342
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: This is like because we're kind of kicking ass in

343
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: Factor of fiction and let's face it, Ian kind of

344
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: sucks and.

345
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: Factor fiction's right.

346
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: This is like when the varsity team shows up to

347
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: use the practice field when the freshmen are on it

348
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: and they just kick them off. Say, look, you guys

349
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing. We're taking over, all right.

350
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: So factor fiction brought to you by the Lucky Egle

351
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: case seeing it one hotel in a matter of a

352
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Minute's Dan Wilson, Meritor Skipper before the pivotal game three

353
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow with the media today.

354
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 7: This is a group that's tight. You know, the whole

355
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 7: pitching staff together is tight. They share information, they talk

356
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 7: about it. They you know, they let each other know

357
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 7: what it's like and so they they're a little bit

358
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 7: more prepared too, so but it's it's good knowing that

359
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 7: you know, these guys are have had a little bit

360
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 7: experience now under their belt and they're ready to go.

361
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 8: Then from your standpoint here to be back in Seattle

362
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 8: ahead two Oh. I mean, what is the word or

363
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 8: the feeling I think that you know embodies the team

364
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 8: right now when you think about being in this position

365
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 8: to come back home and have potentially three in front

366
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 8: of you here.

367
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously it's a very advantageous position when we're excited

368
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 7: about that, but you know, there's there's work to do here,

369
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 7: and I think the focus is tomorrow night.

370
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: That's that's where our focus goes.

371
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 7: And that's kind of how we've done this, you know,

372
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 7: all along is just you know that we're.

373
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: Taking it one day at a time.

374
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 7: You know, it sounds very cliche, but you take it

375
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 7: one step at a time, and and you know, tomorrow

376
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 7: night we're looking forward to to getting back out there,

377
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 7: you know, you know, taking in the atmosphere here at

378
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 7: T Mobile. We know it's going to be an awesome

379
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 7: atmosphere here for baseball, So that that's where our focus lies.

380
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 7: We get back to work. I think, you know, as

381
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 7: we've talked about the pitching, it's been so solid and

382
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 7: offensively able to do some great things. So both sides

383
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 7: of the ball, we just need to continue to keep

384
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 7: doing that. And and uh, you know, I think that's

385
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 7: that's the focus going forward.

386
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: The important of the details.

387
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 9: You've talked about that from day one, Just important of

388
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 9: the details. Each pitch, each.

389
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: A bad yeah, no doubt.

390
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 7: You know, I think we've seen we talk about the

391
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 7: postseason where little things make big differences. We've seen that

392
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 7: in a lot of these postseason games, not just our games,

393
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 7: but in all the games. And so you do you

394
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 7: focus on the details. You know that each pitch has

395
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 7: you know, magnified significance. You know that each out makes

396
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 7: a big difference. Each at bat can can be huge.

397
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 7: So I think we've talked about it with our offense

398
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 7: that you know, you start stacking those tough at bats

399
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 7: back to back, and over time you start to to

400
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 7: wear down pitchers.

401
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 4: And that's when we're at our best.

402
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 7: So yes, each pitch, each at bat, those are all

403
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 7: very big things here in the postseason, and and our

404
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 7: guys know that, and that's why our focus continues to be,

405
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 7: you know, tomorrow night, and we'll get back out on

406
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 7: the field and get started again.

407
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 10: Right from kind of continuing on that train of thought

408
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 10: of just the subtle differences, you know, Alds, you guys

409
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 10: came back home. It was when you go home, you

410
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 10: knew the situation. This situation a little bit different. Have

411
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 10: an opportunity to close it out. Just what is the

412
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 10: kind of difference or variation and pressure compared to having

413
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 10: that lead with an opportunity to close it out at home,

414
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 10: compared to you know, win or go home.

415
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 7: You know again, I think we take the same mindset.

416
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 7: We go out and we play good baseball tomorrow night.

417
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 7: That's our focus, and I think that's that's where we're

418
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 7: at as a team, and and that that's where that's

419
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 7: what our goal is, is to come out tomorrow and

420
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 7: continue to do the things we've been doing. And that's

421
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 7: that's the hope and and that's what our preparation will be,

422
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 7: you know, gear towards and we'll do the things that

423
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 7: we've been doing on the mount, uh, you know, preparation wise,

424
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 7: will be doing the things offensively that we've been doing.

425
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 4: Preparation rise and we'll be ready to play game time.

426
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: All right, So the voice of Dan Wilson.

427
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: You guys obviously know the name Shane Bieber, who we

428
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: know from his Guardians Indians days, won the Cy Young

429
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, and he's pitching tomorrow night for Toronto

430
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: and he just came off the IL in August after

431
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery. And he hasn't played much this year.

432
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: He's only made I think seven starts, is that right?

433
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: He has seven starts on the season, and he's been

434
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. He's had two starts where he was kind

435
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: of five runs and six against the Reds in September,

436
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: three runs, five and two thirds against the Astros, and

437
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: at his next start and the other five he was

438
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: two runs or less at every single game. So a

439
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: lot of guys are better Dick when they come off

440
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: with Tommy John surgery and see and see better results.

441
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: But we'll see what's going on with Shane Bieber tomorrow.

442
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: And George Kirby, who's been a better pitcher at home

443
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: than the road. He's never beaten the Blue Jays. I

444
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: think he's only faced him one time. So really you

445
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: can't read much into that, but what looks like to

446
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: be another solid, kick ass pitching matchup tomorrow.

447
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 2: It does.

448
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 3: It just shocks me that this is what Toronto's got

449
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: to throw at us. I mean, they go with a

450
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 3: twenty two year old rookie that had started three games

451
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: in his major league career in game two of the ALCS,

452
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: and now they're throwing a guy coming off with Tommy

453
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: John surgery and game three.

454
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: It's just stunning to me.

455
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: I haven't paid much attention to Toronto, and with the

456
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: attention that I had paid attention to, paid attention was

457
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 3: just their three, four and five it is the rest

458
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: of their team does not look great.

459
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, we do have cracking tickets to give away.

460
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: It's a cracking ticket Tuesday. When you hear the sounder'd

461
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: be the tenth caller to call two eight six, ninety

462
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: five ninety five, and you win seats for a upcoming

463
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: cracking game. I think that game is October twenty eighth,

464
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: is that right, Jackson against Montreal? So listen for the

465
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: sounder you might get at any second now right now, though,

466

00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: cracking hockey Ian ferness is getting slaughtered, so we thought

480
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: we would just push the amateur aside, let a couple

481
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: of professionals take over the selections for Factor fiction. So

482
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,640

489
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: Do you think the Pittsburgh Steelers are very good. I

490
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: think they're taed overrated.

491
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: I mean, the Hawks beat them to a pulp four

492
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: weeks ago, and they have beaten the Jets, the Vikings,

493
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 3: the Browns, and now they go on the road a

494
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 3: division opponent who is now wacko for Flacco who had

495
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: a ninety one passer rating in a close loss to

496
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,800

542
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: it every day on our radio, was showing three forty

543
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: fiveal thing called fun with Audio.

544
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 2: Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that? What's that? Dick?

545
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: We start with our buddy Mike Tomlin, longtime head coach

546
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh Steelers too, at a press conference this week, stunned, shocked,

547
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: could not believe I think Cleveland Browns would trade their

548
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: starting quarterback and Joe Flacco to a division rival in Cincinnati.

549
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 11: You know, to be honest, it was shocking to me.

550
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 11: Andrew Barry must be a lot smarter than me or us,

551
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 11: because it doesn't make sense to me to trade a

552
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 11: quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening

553
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 11: day starter to a division opponent that's hurting in that area.

554
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 11: But that's just my personal feelings.

555
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So there is some context about why Flacco was

556
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: starting right because everybody else was hurt for the most part,

557
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: that's why he was out there. And the second of all,

558
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned how Flacco looked last week, is that correct?

559
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: There's a chance we got to admit that he comes

560
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: out and looks like ass this weekend.

561
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: He's anything can happen with its one hundred years old.

562
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: So Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh make him look terrible and

563
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: they would say to Mike, hey, you're still mad that

564
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: you had to face Joe Flacco on Sunday because he's broke.

565
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see what Tomlin's reaction is after

566
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: the game.

567
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 3: He's trying to fire up his defense and let him

568
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: know that, hey, this is not a pushover team that

569
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: you're playing against. But I will say this, Joe Flacco

570
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 3: is the youngest quarterback at the age of forty in

571
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 3: that game.

572
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: That is amazing, incredible.

573
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 1: How about the guys that are starting in the NFL,

574
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: A bunch of has bins that are now having resurgences

575
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: and a bunch of old farts like Joe Flacco and

576
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers.

577
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: It's unbelieved you guys won Super Bowl? What twelve and

578
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: thirteen years ago? Fifteen years ago?

Speaker 1: I was two thousand and twelve, twelve, Yeah, twenty eleven, Yeah, amazing, unreal?

580
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?

581
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: What's that?

582
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: Dick?

00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 12: the fence and that ball is gone. Three run homer,

624
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 12: Jorge Polanco and the Mariners are back up three six

625
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 12: three Seattle in the top of the fifth. It just

626
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 12: snuck out, bouncing off the top of the fence.

627
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 13: Well you said it, Ben, You have to be careful

628
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 13: with Jorge Polonko. He's come up with a lot of

629
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 13: big hits in the postseason for the Mariners. A couple

630
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 13: of home runs off Trek Scooble when they were playing

631
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 13: the Detroit Tigers, and he was all over that fastball.

632
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: They caught a lot of the plate.

633
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: God just dejected, no life whatsoever. It's almost like somebody

634
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: walked up to him by the way and whispered right

635
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: in his ear before they get back your cat.

636
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: Just do you want to hear more? Well, here's Josh Naylor.

637
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: Here's his call of Josh Naylor's home run in the seventh.

638
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 12: Thing they off pitch and it is crushed out to

639
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 12: right field. Lucas going back, he'll run out of room.

640
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 12: It's gone home run, Josh Naylor. Nine to three. Mariners

641
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 12: leave off, big blast from the big Canadian and Seattle

642
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 12: now really in good position to take a chew nothing

643
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 12: lead going back to their hometown.

644
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: It's almost like he was waiting for some kind of

645
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: reaction from his color guy, and he just left the booth.

646
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: He's just like, you know what, I'm silenced it. I'm

647
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: out of here. Not the best color man in the

648
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: business for nothing?

649
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 9: Right?

650
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: Oh God, I love it. I love it. Well listen, man,

651
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to jinx anything. I don't want to

652
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: upset the basement.

653
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: Gods. We got two games to go, man, two games

654
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: to go. God darn it, get me tomorrow night, and

655
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: holy hell, tomorrow night is going to be fun. You

656
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: said sex Jackson?

657
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 9: Is that right?

658
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll have one more, two more if we can

659
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: fit him in. Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear

660
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: what's that? Dick Deon Sanders, head coach Colorado finding out

661
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: that the Colorado football program would be fined fifty grand

662
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: really after their fans tormed the field after their win

663
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: over twenty second rank Iowa State.

664
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: This was coach Prime's response to the fine.

665
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 11: I want to see the kids rush the field. I

666
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 11: absolutely love it. I mean, adds out to our security team.

667
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 4: They do a good job ushering me in, but I

668
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 4: love to see it.

669
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 14: Is it a fine for rushing the field?

670
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 9: What is it?

671
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 14: Fifteen fifty fifty way for rushing the field? How the

672
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 14: fifty thousand rushing the field? Who made that a rule?

673
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 14: Come on, man, that ain't right. I mean, these kids, well,

674
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 14: we have fifty dollars right there.

675
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 9: We can chip in.

676
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: Let's chip in, as that was when I grew up.

677
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 14: You know, we're going some way back before you get

678
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 14: in the covers.

679
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 2: Some games you get a chimp in.

680
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So fifty thousand bucks for I'm a gonny making

681
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: seven million dollars a year, which I think Prime is

682
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: making as.

683
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: One hundred and forty dollars, that's a check.

684
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: He could just give the money the check, and I

685
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: had the same reaction he did, But I think he

686
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: was actually more surprised at how much it was, Like,

687
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: that's it fifty grand, that's nothing the SEC charges. Yeah,

688
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: half a million dollars. If your fans rush the field,

689
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what the big ten fight is.

690
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: By the way, if you rush the field zero there

691
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: is no fine, none zip. So have added husky fans

692
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: have at it. I thought he was surprised how much

693
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: it was. That agreed, totally agreed. Yes, I was surprised

694
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: at how little it was. He was surprised at how

695
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: much it was. He could write the check, and I

696
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: can't believe it's only fifty thousand.

697
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: That's nothing. Absolutely, that's not a deterrent. I wonder if

698
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: he's allowed to write that. You kidding, Mike?

699
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: Is there some big twelve rule that says no, the

700
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: coach can't pay this, probably.

701
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: Directly, but I can venmo you and you can write

702
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: the check and we're done.

703
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna break.

704
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: Larry Stone, courtesy of the RAM, is going to join

Speaker 1: the Boyce play Montreal on the twenty eighth of October.

Speaker 1: Larry Stone will join next and talk some baseball. Is

713
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 6: It's time for our weekly conversation with legendary sports writer

714
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 6: Larry Stone, brought to you by the Ram Restaurant and Brewery, Bigger, better,

715
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 6: and fresher since nineteen seventy one, with eight Fugitown locations

716
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 6: from Marysville to Lacey and everywhere in between. There's a

717
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 6: ram there you now with Softy and Dick. Here's Larry

718
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 6: Stone all right.

719
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: Here we go. Great time to have Larry on the air.

720
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember having Larry on the air and saying, God,

721
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: you know what, this is really a bad time to

722
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: have them, Monk, can we blow them off?

723
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: This kind of sucks.

724
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: Stupid time to have Larry on. That has not happened

725
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: one time this year. And I think the reason why

726
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened Larry one time this year is because

727
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: this baseball team has been pretty good every single week

728
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: of the season. So it's always been a joy to

729
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: have you on the air. But this is why we

730
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: pay you. This is why you get compensated for moments

731
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: like this. You are built for this moment, Larry. We

732
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: know you can handle it. Two games away from the

733
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: World Series, the closest they've ever been in their existence

734
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: to a World Series appearance, and I'll be honest with you,

735
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: my friend, For me, it's a little bit overwhelming.

736
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: It really is.

737
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: After the two games to non lead last night, what

738
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the way the series started and

739
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: the way the Tiger Series went for the MS last week?

740
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, Softy. I watched your videos on

741
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 9: X and I'm a little physic. I'm a little concerned

742
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 9: for your health.

743
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: But by the way, if you were about to say

744
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: you were physically sick, I don't blame you either.

745
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 9: I wasn't going to say that. Well, I mean, going back,

746
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 9: we haven't even had a show since the Friday fifteen

747
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 9: inning game last week. I mean, an instant, classic, masterpiece,

748
00:32:54,560 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 9: epic game. And then they couldn't have gone in any

749
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 9: better in Toronto. I mean exceeded anyone's expectations. I think

750
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 9: I think most people were Marystans would have been happy

751
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 9: with a split, and they just they owned them in

752
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 9: those those two games. They just completely shut down a

753
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 9: really good offensive team. Yesterday that the Bats were working,

754
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 9: I mean, everything is set up for for them to

755
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 9: get to the World Series. That that doesn't mean it's

756
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 9: a done deal. Teams have blown to nothing leads. But

757
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 9: I really like where they are and I think everybody does.

758
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: Lara, I'm glad you mentioned Game five. Were you there

759
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: on Friday night?

760
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 9: I was not there. My daughter went, but I did

761
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 9: not go.

762
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: Well obviously watched it right away.

763
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, neither were we We were at Husky Stadium, But Larry,

764
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 3: how do you compare that to Game five in nineteen

765
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: ninety five as far as the you know, just the

766
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: overall elation, just the drama, everything you saw.

767
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: I mean, was it right there along those lines of

768
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: ninety five?

769
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 9: Well, full confession, I wasn't there in ninety five. I

770
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 9: didn't come to Seattle to ninety six, and I was

771
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 9: actually covering the National League playoffs that year. But I

772
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 9: feel I've confident in saying that I've written more stories

773
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 9: about that game and talk to more people than anybody

774
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 9: in the history of Seattle journalism, So I feel like

775
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 9: I was there. I think it's very similar in sort

776
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 9: of the cathartic release that the fans had. At that point.

777
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 9: They had never made the playoffs, and you know, that

778
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 9: was their first playoff run, and to have a series

779
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 9: like that was just incredible, considering that the drama of

780
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 9: the stadium and all that, and this time it almost

781
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 9: feels like they've never been there because it's been you know,

782
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 9: they had a taste of it in twenty twenty two.

783
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 9: But I think most people feel like this is the

784
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 9: team that has the best chance of getting there, and

785
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 9: to have a game like that where it's just every

786
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 9: pit so much as writing on every pitch, and there's

787
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 9: so many disappointments along the way that the double plays,

788
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,439
Speaker 9: the rallies thwarted. I mean, the tension was just off

789
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 9: the charts, and I think it was the same thing

790
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 9: in ninety five and the release once they won was

791
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 9: similar as well.

792
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, let's just talk about tomorrow. First of all,

793
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: Toronto's in dire straits. I mean, they're desperate, right. You

794
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: got to think that John Schneider is going to throw

795
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: the kitchen sink at Dan Wilson.

796
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 2: How do we think George Kirby responds?

797
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: How do we think the Mariners respond tomorrow in a

798
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: game that could absolutely crush This could be a death

799
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: blow to Toronto if they can just get this thing done.

800
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: And then imagine Larry with that area, That whole area

801
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: is going to be like on Thursday, from dawn to

802
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: dusk before Game four.

803
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 9: Man, Yeah, well, yeah, I mean Kirby. I have faith

804
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 9: in Kirby just by what he's done in the postseason.

805
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 9: He's shown that he can handle the pressure. And I

806
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 9: mean he's been great in the two starts that he

807
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 9: had this year. He was great in twenty and twenty two.

808
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 9: He's rested. Uh, I think, you know, I think he's

809
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 9: gonna pitch pitch very well. They're going up against Shane Bieber,

810
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 9: who is a cy Young Award winner a few years ago,

811
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 9: but he's not the same pitcher that he was then.

812
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 9: All the pressure is on them, Uh, you know, they

813
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 9: know that they can't lose this game, and they're walking

814
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 9: into as a hostel and the environment as they're going

815
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 9: to face, you know, all year. So I think for

816
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 9: the Mariners, the key is getting ahead on early like

817
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 9: they have all postseason. I think there's only one game

818
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 9: where they didn't. They weren't the first team that scored.

819
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 9: That was the the Springer home run the other day,

820
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 9: and and they overcame. They overcame that. So I think

821
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 9: if the Mariners can jump up, jump ahead as they've

822
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 9: done all postseason, I think I think the momentum is

823
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 9: going to you know, swing their way, the crowd and

824
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 9: all that, and I think it's going to be a

825
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 9: good outcome.

826
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: Well, Larry, had they not won yesterday, we all know

827
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 3: what the number one topic would have been, and that

828
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: would have been Dan Wilson starting a pitcher that had

829
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: thrown one hundred and nineteen pitches since Tuesday against the

830
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: pitcher that had thrown fifteen pitches since Monday. What was

831
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: your take going into the game on the decision to

832
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 3: start Gilbert over Louise.

833
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 9: Surprised and I didn't quite understand it. I, you know,

834
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 9: the the only rationale I could really come up with

835
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 9: was they really don't want Louise pitching on the on

836
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 9: the road in the postseason. This will be his third

837
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 9: start at home, and they've they've manipulated the matchups so

838
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 9: that he's he's pitched only only at home. So but

839
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 9: I didn't like the asda of well, you know, why

840
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 9: not go with the more rested guy. But as with

841
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 9: all the pitching decisions that Dan's made, they've kind of

842
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 9: worked out. They've won, They won game one game, so yeah,

843
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 9: the beauty is is that he has so many great choices.

844
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 9: You know, they have a five. You watch these postseasons

845
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 9: and you see teams have bullpen games in game five,

846
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 9: you know, deciding games of the of the playoffs, and

847
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 9: teams are showing bullpen games. And the Mariners will never

848
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 9: have to do that because they have four good starters

849
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 9: and if wo comes back, they'll have five and that's

850
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 9: just a huge luxury to have. So in a lot

851
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 9: of ways, there's no there's no wrong decisions for Dan,

852
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 9: although I think this was a West but it worked out.

853
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 9: It worked out.

854
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 2: No, Dick's right, they would have lost the game. He

855
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: would have been barbecued.

856
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: And I thought Larry that Dick was going to ask

857
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: about when he mentioned Game five, They're going to ask

858
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: about Bryce Miller's performance in game number one. I mean,

859
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: that really is just amazing, and that really set the momentum,

860
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: I think for the entire series so far. When you

861
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: go in there and you steal game one and you

862
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: get out of there on short rest obviously kind of

863
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: reminded me of Bobby Walcott in Game one of the

864
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: Indian series and ninety five. Now, Bryce obviously started way

865
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: more games than Bob Walcott did at that point in time,

866
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: But where does that game kind of sit for you

867
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: on the list of all time great clutch performances by

868
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: a Mariner starting pitcher. What Bryce Miller did in Game

869
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 1: one on Sunday night.

870
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's got to go, you know, right near the top.

871
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 9: That's not to the top. It was a heroic performance

872
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 9: by Bryce, and I mean, particularly in light of the

873
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 9: arc of the game. The first pitch home run, then

874
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 9: then the what was a twelve or thirteen pitch walk

875
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 9: that followed, and I think there was another walk twenty

876
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 9: seven pitches. I mean I was thinking to myself. I

877
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 9: think I said it to someone I was watching the

878
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 9: game with, this is going to be an Emerson Hancock game.

879
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 9: We're going to be seeing Emerson Hancock early because pitch

880
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 9: count was so high. They were hitting, you know, three

881
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 9: balls over one hundred miles an hour we're hitting that

882
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 9: first inning. But whatever adjustment he made was incredible, you know,

883
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 9: to get through six innings with the pitch count that

884
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 9: he did. The whole team through one hundred pitches that game,

885
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 9: and twenty seven were in the first inning. That means

886
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 9: they averaged nine pitches an inning to the final eight inning.

887
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 9: They just completely shut them down. And you know, after

888
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 9: the final six innings yesterday and Sunday, the Blue Jays

889
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 9: virtually had no no offense whatsoever. They were completely shut

890
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 9: down in both games. But Bryce Miller, you know that

891
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 9: that that's that was the game of his life and

892
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 9: it was, you know, incredibly needed by the Mariners.

893
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 3: Larry, I do not mean to sound like a cocky

894
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 3: Mariner fan up to nothing. When I'm when I'm about

895
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: to say that, I'm just gonna be I'm gonna be

896
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 3: honest with you.

897
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: There we go.

898
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 3: I find myself after seeing Springer and Vlade and I'm like,

899
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 3: is that it? And then I look at their pitching

900
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 3: staff and their starters are twentieth in baseball, their bullpen

901
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 3: is sixteenth in baseball, and they have seven offensive starters

902
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: under seven to seventy Ops.

903
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: Are you does this team impress you that we're playing

904
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 2: right now?

905
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 8: Well?

906
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you got a note that Bob Baschett,

907
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 9: one of what they're one of their top players. You know,

908
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 9: he's not there. Anthony Santander was scratched yesterday, so they

909
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 9: you know, I think they've they've been a better team

910
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 9: in the season than they are right now. But uh,

911
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 9: I think your point, Dick is a valid one. I

912
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 9: think the Mariners are demonstrably a better team than Blue Jays,

913
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 9: and I think that's that's showing and that that will

914
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 9: prevail in the long run. You know, you don't want

915
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 9: to you don't want to give them any life by

916
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 9: by dropping this game. And you know, Kim Booth had

917
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 9: a story today with talking to Mitch Garber about two

918
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 9: years ago, when the when the when? The or was

919
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 9: it three years ago? When the Rangers won the World Series?

920
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 9: They won the first two on the road and then

921
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 9: lost the next three at home, and then came back

922
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 9: to win the next two on on the road again. So, uh,

923
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 9: you know the teams, it happens. It doesn't happen very often,

924
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 9: but teams have blown two game leads after winning the

925
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 9: first still on the road. So yeah, I don't think

926
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 9: you can get too cocky, but I think your general

927
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 9: point is a valid one. The Mariners have a better offense.

928
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 9: I think they have a better starting staff and they

929
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 9: have a better bullpen, and that should tell the story. Well.

930
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 2: Larry Stones with us courtesy of the RAM.

931
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: Normally joins us on Tuesdays at six, but we got

932
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 1: cracking hockey with Montreal coming up pregame three thirty faced

933
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: off at four, And you guys remember the Natural when

934
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: not the Natural but Field of Dreams. When Kevin Costner

935
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: went to see James Earl Jones Terrence Mayn and said,

936
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: I want you to write about this, about my experiences here,

937
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: when they invited him into center field, the cornfield and Larry,

938
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: I really, first of all, hope that you're planning on

939
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,439
Speaker 1: writing about this number one, because just like not having

940
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 1: Dave Kneehouse around, this journey would not and I'm being serious,

941
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: like we bust your balls a lot, we have fun

942
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: here on the radio show, but it would not be

943
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: the same unless you put pen to paper. So I

944
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: really hope you're planning on doing that number one. And

945
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: then number two, I want you to write about Josh Naylor,

946
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: and I want you to write about his experiences and

947
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: become a dad. And the home running hit last night

948
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: in Canada becomes the first Canadian born player to hit

949
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: a home run in Toronto and the playoffs are you

950
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: kidding me?

951
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: Like really never happened before.

952
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: And I'm just Larry, I'm watching Josh Naylor play and

953
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm asking myself, how the hell did Cleveland or Arizona

954
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: let this guy go?

955
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: Like you can't find room for that guy in your roster?

956
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks for the for the kind words. I am

957
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 9: finding myself like regretting that I'm not with the with

958
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 9: the with the guys in Toronto writing this thing. It

959
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 9: would be so much fun, But I made the you know,

960
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 9: I made the choice to retire, so here we are.

961
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 9: But yeah, Naylor would be especially fun to write about.

962
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 9: He just seems like such an interesting character. And you

963
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 9: you know, you hear the interviews with him, and he

964
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 9: doesn't sound he sounds very reasonable, you know, he doesn't.

965
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 9: He doesn't sound like a guy that plays with the

966
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 9: intensity in the air as he does. He's you know,

967
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 9: he's kind of quiet and well spoken, and the contrast

968
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 9: is interesting. But I would yeah, he's I think it's imperative,

969
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 9: becoming more so by the day that they do what

970
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 9: it takes to bring this guy back. And you know,

971
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 9: I mean, the Diamondbacks made the decision that they were

972
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 9: out of it and that he's a free agent at

973
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 9: the end of the year, so get something for him

974
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 9: rather than having him just walk away. As it turned

975
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 9: out that Diamondbacks really weren't out of it. They contended

976
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 9: till the last couple of weeks, so they probably regret

977
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 9: getting rid of Josh if not Gino. So, you know,

978
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 9: the best trade deadline acquisition the Mariners have ever made,

979
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 9: I think that's safe to say. You know, Castillo Castillo

980
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 9: used to be that, but I think this is an

981
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 9: even better one.

982
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: Larry, you mentioned wo earlier.

983
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 3: Would you test him out of the pen, or would

984
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: you just be comfortable just throwing him out there on

985
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 3: Friday or or maybe Game six or Game seven. I

986
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 3: thought yesterday might have actually been a nice opportunity up

987
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: by six runs to throw him out there for an

988
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 3: inning and see what happens.

989
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think i'd start him just because he's used

990
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 9: to that and you could just monitor him. It sounds

991
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 9: like he's about fifty pitches. I think it's you know,

992
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 9: Maris don't want to have to use him because they'd

993
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 9: rather sweep and then then they wouldn't have to worry

994
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 9: about it for this series. But in a way, I

995
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 9: think it would be good just to get him out

996
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 9: on the hill, and even if it's for three or

997
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 9: four innings, because he needs to build on it for

998
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 9: the you know, for the World Series if they get there.

999
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 9: If he throws fifty in his start, you know, the

1000
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 9: game five start, if there is one, then maybe he's

1001
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 9: up to seventy five his next start and it's in

1002
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 9: the World Series, and then you could get him through

1003
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 9: five innings maybe, So I think I think it's important

1004
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 9: to get him out there, you know, start that that

1005
00:45:54,960 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 9: what's really a rehab situation going for him. And you know,

1006
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 9: and I think it's I just think it's more conducive

1007
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 9: to do it as a starter, and then you could

1008
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 9: you could set your bullpen behind that, knowing that on

1009
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 9: that day you're probably going to need five sixceedings of

1010
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 9: bullpen work.

1011
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: Well, Larry Stone again, and I just say this about

1012
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,959
Speaker 1: Game three tomorrow, that no team in the American League

1013
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 1: playoffs has one more games at home, and no team

1014
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: is one fewer on the road than Toronto. I mean,

1015
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 1: their home road splits are insane, fifty four and twenty

1016
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: seven versus forty and forty one. They are under five

1017
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: hundred on the road. They are a totally It's like

1018
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: the Rockies. They are a totally different team on the road.

1019
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: And now you've got three games at T Mobile Park.

1020
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: And you know, a buddy of mine text and said, hey,

1021
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: we've got two games, we got three game series against Toronto.

1022
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: You win the series and you go in the World Series.

1023
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: So Larry, the next time we speak next Tuesday, the

1024
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: Mariners will either be in the World Series or their

1025
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: season will be over next Tuesday. All right, I mean

1026
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: that is what we are dealing with right now. So

1027
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: I want to ask you real quick, as Chuck threw

1028
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: this out there of the year day, and I was

1029
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: actually thinking about it before he brought it up.

1030
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: But I'll give him credit.

1031
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,959
Speaker 1: If Jerry Depoto finishes this thing off and he gets

1032
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: to the Marinon war the ms to the World Series.

1033
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: For as much heat as he's been taken the last decade,

1034
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: are we now ready to call him the greatest Mariner

1035
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: executive of all time?

1036
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 9: I think I think that's probably fair. This will be

1037
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 9: their fifth straight winning This is their fifth straight winning season.

1038
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 9: You know, they only got to the playoffs twice out

1039
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 9: of those. But I mean, this team has been striving

1040
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 9: unsuccessfully for a World Series for almost fifty years, and

1041
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 9: whoever was going to be the guy who got it done,

1042
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 9: I think is instantly a legend. And I think that

1043
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 9: for all the for all the criticism and faults of Jerry,

1044
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 9: he built this team, and if you look at it,

1045
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 9: it was a pretty damn good job of building it.

1046
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 9: There's a lot of guys that he got, you know,

1047
00:47:54,680 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 9: in shrewd trades, under the radar trades, great drafting, and

1048
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 9: that's the sort of thing. So it's a well built

1049
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 9: team and I think it's hard for a lot of

1050
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 9: fans to give him credit just because there's so much

1051
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 9: animosity and and made for the all the struggling years

1052
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 9: that the fact of the matter is that this rebuilt

1053
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 9: has been pretty good.

1054
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 2: Are we talking World Series next Tuesday with you?

1055
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 9: I think we are? Softy and Dick.

1056
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 2: Unbelievable? All right, dude, we'll talking a week. Man, have fun,

Speaker 9: Games, all right, all right, I'm gonna be there tomorrow.

Speaker 1: mana chevit's waiting for you.

1062
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 2: How's that?

1063
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 9: That's good?

1064
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: All right?

1065
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 9: Man?

1066
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: Larry Stow with us on the air. I mean, god,

1067
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 2: it's just you just hear things like that. Yeah, it's

1068
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: like hits.

1069
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 9: You.

1070
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: Are we talking World Series next week? We are?

1071
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let's make that happen because in one week

1072
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: from now again we're either talking. I mean, they've been

1073
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: playing baseball. What was the tweet I put out last night?

1074
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: Seventeen thousand whatever days since their first game in Diego

1075
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: Sagie in nineteen seventy seven, and now we are potentially

1076
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: fifty four hours away, Dick from a World Series.

1077
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: And I think the crazy thing is you're going tomorrow,

1078
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 3: I'm going on Thursday. I'm either gonna walk in Thursday

1079
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 3: just in a celebratory let's just end this thing and

1080
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 3: see it happen, or I'm gonna walk in going. We

1081
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 3: gotta win to Ice. Absolutely, it's gonna be so weird.

1082
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 3: The vibe between winning and losing tomorrow?

1083
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 2: Nervous? Do you get if they drop Game three and

1084
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 2: you're walking into Game four? Very nervous?

1085
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 9: Right?

1086
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:25,319
