No news is good news because the 49 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 2: news could be we're gonna call it. I think they'd 50 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: wait a long time to do something like that. But 51 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: we're gonna have some type of news to report here, 52 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: and the news may be I don't know. We'll find 53 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: out our buddy Chuck Powell, who's on the scene. We 54 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: spent the hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly Bucky 55 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: and Chuck privately to Detroit and put them up at 56 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: a five star hotel, wining them, dining them, to have 57 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: them do nothing but sit around and apparently drink crappy 58 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: coffee waiting for a baseball game to start. Chuck Powell 59 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: joins us right now live from Kamerica Park. 60 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 8: How are you man, Hold on a second, Hey, you're 61 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 8: getting too cute close to the cuticles. 62 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 7: Be careful. 63 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, get that manicure yee. 64 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 6: Yeah. 65 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 8: I had to sit at a little downtime, so I 66 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 8: decided to get more pampered on the company dime. So anyway, 67 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 8: you guys want to talk baseball or something. 68 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 2: Well, we just want to know what the hell is 69 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: going on. I mean, fill us in. Everyone's texting asking 70 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: emailing where's the game going to start? Like, we know, 71 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: but we're not telling anybody. So what are they telling 72 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: you guys out there? What's the weather look like right now? 73 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 7: Well, I'll say this. 74 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 8: I went and did some investigating, and at two minutes 75 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 8: before the hour, I was told we would get an 76 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 8: announcement at the top of the hour, so then I 77 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 8: had come join you. So we're supposed to they're supposed 78 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 8: to pass along all the information any second. Maybe it's 79 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 8: already happened. I think the idea is that they don't 80 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 8: want to risk an interruption. I think even the Mariners 81 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 8: don't want Logan Gilbert to start and then stop. I 82 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 8: think both teams want to just let this thing blow out, 83 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 8: which is supposed to. 84 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 7: We're not supposed to get. 85 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 8: Rain again in Detroit for like another month after this 86 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 8: storm passes through, so let it pass through and then 87 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 8: we can play uninterrupted and decide game number three. 88 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 7: So I mean, even if they made. 89 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 8: The decision like we feel good whether it's gone, let's 90 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 8: pull off the tarp, you're still looking at forty five 91 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 8: minutes before they can get pictures ready, and then we 92 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 8: probably have some ceremonies here because it's the first game 93 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 8: in Detroit in the series, so we're probably another good 94 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 8: hour away from getting started. 95 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 4: Chuck, I've got nightmares of that Baltimore, New York Philadelphia 96 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 4: road trip that it just seemed like every game was 97 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 4: delayed due to rain, and I think it partly affected 98 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 4: how this team played. Is this a bad thing for 99 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 4: Seattle that this is happening? 100 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 8: Well, I said it this morning. This team, they are 101 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 8: so structured, they don't they can't handle delays. It's crazy. 102 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 8: I mean, they had a rain delay on that trip 103 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 8: that you mentioned, and it sent them into a spiral 104 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 8: for the next two weeks. Now, I mean, be just 105 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 8: coincidence that that happened, but I've always felt like they 106 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 8: don't do well during rain delays, Yeah, whether at the 107 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 8: beginning of the game or in the middle of the game. 108 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 8: So I don't like it, but my goodness, I mean, 109 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 8: it's postseason baseball. You've got to focus through it. If 110 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 8: you're not just completely focused right now. And like I said, 111 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 8: if this was Logan's starting and then he had a 112 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 8: long delay and maybe he's not as effective when he 113 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 8: comes back, or god forbid, they take him out after 114 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 8: two and a third innings because he stiffens up. I'd 115 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 8: be more worried about that the fact that they're kind 116 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 8: of letting the storm pass through. I think he'll be fine. 117 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 8: I think cal holding his hand. 118 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 7: Will make sure that he warms up the right way. 119 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 8: And I'm just going to side on this not being 120 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 8: a reason why the Mariners could lose tonight. 121 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be a brutal way to go down 122 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: a game, no doubt. But I just looked this up 123 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: and I affirmed it at Baseball Reference dot Com that 124 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: days where there is a four hour delay or more 125 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: with Logan Gilbert on the mound when a teammate is 126 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: about to have a baby. 127 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: The M's are undefeated this year, by the way, in 128 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 3: those wins, hey. 129 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: Don't purse my bubble, deack, don't purse my bubble. 130 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 3: So they do it. They do pretty good. 131 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: But why don't we get your thoughts because we got 132 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: some time here, And by the way, there's now reports 133 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: out that the game they're gonna aim to start this 134 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: thing at four thirty local times, So seven thirty your 135 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: time out there, Chuck in Detroit. So we'll wait for confirmation, 136 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 2: of course from the Mariners. But the way those first 137 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: two games went. I mean, just the drama on Saturday 138 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: and Sunday, the drama of Josh Naylor potentially not playing 139 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: because his wife's having a baby. 140 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 3: What do you make of the first eighteen. 141 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: Excuse me, I guess it'd be twenty innings right that 142 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 2: you saw from this series? 143 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 8: Well, obviously very evenly fought. They scored the same amount 144 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 8: of runs, and they were very similar games. 145 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 7: I mean, the decision to not pitch. 146 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 8: Gabe Spire may have cost you Game one, and the 147 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 8: decision to pitch Game games Fire may have won you 148 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 8: Game two. I mean, who knows that that would require 149 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 8: some hindsight, but pretty evenly fought series obviously. 150 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 7: To this point, I just don't think these two teams 151 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 7: are that evenly maxed. 152 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 8: I think the Mariners are a better team, and now 153 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 8: that we're getting deeper, we're past Gooble, getting deeper into 154 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 8: the rotation. We have arguably our best guy going tonight. 155 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 8: They've got a good pitcher, but also one that I 156 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 8: feel far more vulnerable to certain things than what Logan is. 157 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 8: So I have a feeling the game one, where only 158 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 8: two offensive guys were contributing, maybe that did have a 159 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 8: little bit to do with Russ and not saying why 160 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 8: pitching basically for more than a week, and so the 161 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 8: game number two, more guys were contributing to the effort. 162 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 8: It wasn't just the Cal and Julio show in game 163 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 8: number two. I haven't feeling it's gonna spand out. 164 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 6: A little bit. 165 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 8: I think we're gonna get a pretty decent offensive effort 166 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 8: of this team, maybe get not just hits outside the 167 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 8: heart of the order, but maybe some damage done at 168 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 8: the top from Randy and at the bottom, you know, 169 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 8: down canzone. I think might play a role in this 170 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 8: thing tonight. So I just think, now you know, both 171 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 8: teams got the first two out of the way, they 172 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 8: split them. I want to avoid Trek Scooble, but I 173 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 8: think over games three and four, Cream's gonna rise to 174 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 8: the top, and on paper we're just a better baseball team. 175 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: I would agree with that. 176 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: I think if Logan's not good tonight, it's more the 177 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 4: delay than it is him being you know, pushed back 178 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 4: to a Game three starter. In retrospect, knowing what Kirby 179 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 4: did in Game number one, at this point, are you 180 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 4: okay that they flip flop Kirby and Gilbert. 181 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 6: I'm okay with it. 182 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 8: I guess I was never angry with it. But as 183 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 8: we discussed in the roundtable last Friday, I don't think 184 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 8: there was a bad decision that they could have made, 185 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 8: but I do believe they made the wrong decision. 186 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 7: I still would have liked to have seeing. 187 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 8: What Logan Gilbert could have done. He's not nearly as 188 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 8: susceptible to Carpenter is what Kirby has been this year. 189 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 8: So I still think they should have gone with Logan, 190 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 8: And maybe it doesn't change the outcome, but I would 191 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 8: feel probably just as good with Kirby going tonight in 192 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 8: game number three as I did back in Game number 193 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 8: one with him. So there's not a bad decision with 194 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 8: this team's starting pitching depth. But yeah, I still wish 195 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 8: they would have thrown Logan in game number one. But 196 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 8: the idea was they just trusted Logan, I guess, on 197 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 8: the road more than what they did the previous two pitchers, 198 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 8: So you're gonna get him on the road here tonight. 199 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 8: I still wish that they would have pitched him in 200 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 8: game number one because he's dominant at home, even more 201 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 8: so than the two guys they decided to left hit 202 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 8: all right. 203 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: Update by the way, Chuck, Officially they will shoot to 204 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: start at four o'clock local in Seattle. You have seven 205 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: o'clock your time, four o'clock hard time. So I just 206 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 2: have you on for a few more minutes and I'll 207 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: let you go and get comfort and find a nice 208 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: spot in the press Boxman, talk to me about Josh Naylor. 209 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 2: Glad to see that he's back, you know, with the team, 210 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: and look, I think we all get it. You know, 211 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: the guy's wife is going to have his first child, 212 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 2: for God's sakes, and it's possible that he could make 213 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: the right move, but it could also suck for the 214 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: Mariners too that he's not there. Do you think he's 215 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: been distracted the last couple of nights by this, I 216 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,479 Speaker 2: mean the air, notwithstanding obviously on Sunday, but the adbats 217 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: just don't look very Josh Naylor, Like, what's your take 218 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: on that? 219 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 8: He hasn't had a good at bat yet in this series? 220 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 8: And he also made a serious blunder that could have 221 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 8: cost us game number two. That was a routine play 222 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 8: for at least one out and maybe a double play 223 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 8: to get you out of the inning. 224 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 7: So I don't think he's been. 225 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 8: Josh Naylor Like now, I can't sit here and tell 226 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 8: you that it's because he was thinking about his pregnant 227 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 8: wife and worried that he wasn't there for her. But 228 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 8: he did not play well. I mean, he probably we 229 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 8: named him we brushed off the old hero and goat 230 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 8: in the Baseball's Best post game show after Games one 231 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 8: and two. He was my goat both games. So I 232 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 8: think that that was not the Josh Naylor that we 233 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 8: all came for love and want to resign, that's for sure. 234 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 8: So maybe with this situation, even though they're very very 235 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 8: quiet about exactly what's going on, because of Josh's wishes, 236 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 8: he just doesn't want his personal life aired at all, right, 237 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 8: So the Mariners are respecting his wishes. So maybe good 238 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 8: news happened today. Maybe they do know the result and 239 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 8: it's behind him and we'll get a little more focused 240 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 8: Josh Naylor. So I'm not gonna say I'm not going 241 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 8: to directly blame him and his poor play on this 242 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 8: and being a distraction, but he certainly played poor baseball 243 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 8: and we're just not used to seeing that from him. 244 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 8: He's been wonderful since he's become a Mariner. 245 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: So you're saying it's possible that they already had the baby. 246 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: Is that what you're inimating? Totally? I guess I always 247 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: just thought. 248 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 4: I just thought that they would either pull him off 249 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 4: in the bat and have him hit a plane or 250 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 4: wait until the end of the game. 251 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: But I mean, I guess you're right, maybe they did. 252 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 4: I just would think that that would be public information 253 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 4: at this point. Ninety nine times out of one hundred 254 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 4: in this situation, we would know about it, right. 255 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, I mean either if she had it, didn't 256 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 8: have it, or there's something wrong, And either way, guess 257 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 8: that Josh Naylor doesn't want anyone to know his personal information. 258 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 8: So he it's his instruction, as I understand it, to 259 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 8: the Mariners CR not to air anything about his personal life. 260 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that totally jobs. 261 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 8: He did not take the plane with the team, but 262 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 8: he's obviously in the lineup here tonight. 263 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: That absolutely jives with his personality. There's no I'm not 264 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: surprised to hear that whatsoever that he would not want 265 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: any of that stuff out there. But Chuck pals with 266 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 2: us again live from Camerica. First pitch Game three, ALDS 267 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 2: is now going to be at four o'clock our time, 268 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 2: a clock out there in Detroit. And it's funny we've 269 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: talked about all this stuff going on off the field. 270 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: How about the matchups tonight? 271 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: I mean we were nervous going into game one, chuck 272 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 2: about George Kirby versus guys like Kerry Carpenter. Now you've 273 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: got Riley Green and Glabor Torrez to worry about, who 274 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: have had a lot of success off of Logan Gilbert. 275 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: You know, I saw John Smoltz was on TV about 276 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: an hour ago saying that he's worried that the humidity 277 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 2: and the rain, if it doesn't stop, could affect Logan 278 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 2: Gilbert's splitter. What's important for us to keep an eye 279 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: on when it comes to Logan Gilbert versus that Tigers 280 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: lineup tonight. 281 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 8: I didn't hear all of that for whatever is to 282 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 8: start breaking up, but I think I got enough of it, 283 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 8: that's all. I still think it's a good matchup. Well, 284 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 8: I think anytime Logan's on his game, it's a good matchup. 285 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 8: One thing that I think you've noticed in games numbers 286 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 8: one and two, this is the playoffs, all right? So 287 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 8: are these are the playoffs? And so there's not as 288 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 8: much concern about pitch efficiency, not worried about not blowing 289 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 8: out the bullpen. I mean, we'll blow out the bullpen 290 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 8: if we have to. So what you saw out of 291 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 8: both George and Luis Castillo were two really good pitchers 292 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 8: who are gonna throw their best stuff and try to 293 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 8: avoid bats. I mean that's what you do in the postseason. 294 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 8: You throw your swing and miss stuff and you try 295 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 8: to be as good as you can with it. You're 296 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 8: not gonna worry about getting through the fifth to make 297 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 8: sure you've got to win, or getting through the sixth 298 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 8: to save the bullpen. 299 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 7: The bullpens are ready to go. 300 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 8: He got eight guys down there that are ready to go, 301 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,119 Speaker 8: and they just had a full day off yesterday. 302 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 7: So I think Logan throwing his. 303 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 8: A game to his best friend tonight, I think it 304 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 8: bodes well. Now, maybe he only goes five innings, maybe 305 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 8: maybe he gets the six, but I'll say this, the 306 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 8: bullpen's ready. And then I also think that if he's 307 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 8: going and he's at ninety five pitches after's five innings 308 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 8: or six innings. 309 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: He'll go again. 310 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 8: If he's dominant out on the mound, there's no concern 311 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 8: about well we've got to get through one hundred and 312 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 8: sixty two games. It's about winning this game tonight. So 313 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 8: even if he's at ninety five pitches through five innings 314 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 8: and if he's got a one hit shutout going with 315 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 8: nine strikeouts, he'll pitch the sixth chuck. 316 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 4: As you mentioned accurately, they've scored the same amount of runs. 317 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 4: But I just feel like the Mariner at bats have 318 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 4: just looked better than the Tiger at bats. I mean, 319 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 4: are they really that hapless or is this a situation 320 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 4: where the Mariner staff has just been much better than 321 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 4: the Tiger offense. 322 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, the Tiger offense is, you know. I mean they've 323 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 8: been struggling as of late, and I mean they're clearly 324 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 8: not as deep as our guys, and I don't even 325 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 8: think that their best. 326 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 7: Guys are better than our guys. 327 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 8: But for whatever reason, Kerry Carpenter loves hitting off Mariner 328 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 8: pitching and he's a monster against us, and Ridney Green's 329 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 8: the legit him at All Star. But they're also two 330 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 8: guys that and those are their two standouts, and they're vulnerable. 331 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 8: They have vulnerabilities to their game. They're both four against 332 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 8: left handed pitching. I mean a couple of them have 333 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 8: been removed from playoff games in the middle of games 334 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 8: because the opponent countered with left handed relievers. And so 335 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 8: that's why I think Gabe's fire is going to be 336 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 8: maybe the key to this series, because if you throw 337 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 8: him first over Ferguson against these guys and you force 338 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 8: aj Hensheeter to lat Green and Cartfinger face the guy 339 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 8: that probably is going to mow them down, or he 340 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 8: takes his two best hitters out of the lineup so 341 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 8: that he can put a ridy in there to face fire, 342 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 8: and then we don't have to deal with those guys 343 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 8: for the rest of the game. So I think that 344 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 8: they're very vulnerable. I don't think they're a potent offense whatsoever, 345 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 8: but they have a dangerous element to them. And Carpenter 346 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 8: clearly hits us and our starters really well, with very 347 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 8: few hitters in Major League Baseball do. But I think 348 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 8: we can match up very well with them, and I 349 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 8: think Gabe Spier is going to end up playing maybe 350 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 8: the biggest role of anybody in this series. So that 351 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 8: sounds crazy from a lefty reliever specialist, I. 352 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 2: Love it, Chuck great stuff man, appreciate this. Stay safe 353 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: out there, stay dry, don't get food poisoning, don't get 354 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 2: busted by RoboCop while you're out there, and we'll talk soon. Well, 355 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: we'll probably talk after the game, all right, So we're 356 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: talk in a few hours. 357 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 6: All right, we'll talk, all right. 358 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 7: Go Mariner, you gotta go. 359 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: Mariner's baby, Chuck foul with us from Camerica Park. Here's 360 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. First pitch is now four pm. 361 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 2: We have had to be very versatile today as creatures 362 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: of habit, which we don't like to do anything, but 363 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 2: you know, continue on the same path we've been on 364 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 2: for the last fifty years. We have to adjust. So 365 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: four o'clock today, Husky Hawks will join us. Greg Lewis, 366 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: Mario Bailey, John Will will join us as well. At 367 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: five pm. Brian Schmetscher the whole thing.

But three 418 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 5: hours later, well. 419 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 4: I heard something from manager I've never heard from before, 420 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 4: and that is the ninth the impact of the nineteenth 421 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: at bat. That is what aj Hitch said today about 422 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 4: moving Kerry Carpenter the one to the lead off role. 423 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 4: I mean, we have gotten such analytically in baseball that 424 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 4: we're talking about the nineteenth at bat, Larry, is it 425 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 4: really going to mean that much? 426 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 5: Well, I also got a chuckle dick when Dan Wilson 427 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 5: someone must have asked him about the chess match with. 428 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 6: Hinshin. 429 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 5: He said, well, I don't know how to play chess, 430 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 5: so I can't comment on the chess. I think there's 431 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 5: people that might take that run that Dan maybe not 432 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 5: be equipped for a chess match with with aj Hinch. 433 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 5: But yeah, that that seems a little a little too 434 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 5: in the weeds there. But I mean Hinch's whole thing 435 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 5: is on working the matchups, working the you know, he 436 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 5: does a lot of platoons and pinch hitting and works 437 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 5: the bullpen to get the favorable matchups left right, and 438 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 5: he's really good at it. So, I mean, and it 439 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 5: came into play on both games battle. 440 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, Dan Wilson got ridiculed a little bit, whether 441 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: fair unfair for letting George Kirby pitch to carry Carpenter 442 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 2: on Saturday. I'm wondering kind of what was your reaction 443 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: in the moment on Saturday, and if there was a 444 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: mistake made by Dan, do you think that'll be a 445 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 2: lesson he can maybe lean on as early as tonight. 446 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 5: Well, I think he learned leaned on it as early 447 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 5: as Sunday, because yes, in my mind it was a mistake. 448 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 6: I thought so at the time. 449 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 5: You know, there's been a lot of public about the 450 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 5: fact that Carpenter owned George Kirby with four home runs 451 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 5: and the third time through the lineup with a base open, 452 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 5: either walk them or bring in Gabe Spire bringing Inspire. 453 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 5: You know, I thought at the time would have been 454 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 5: the move, and he didn't, and he hit the home run. 455 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 5: And then the next day in the virtually the exact 456 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 5: same situation presented itself, and this time he did bring 457 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 5: Inspire to face Carpenter. He struck him out very swiftly, 458 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 5: and you know, that was a key moment in the game. 459 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 5: So hopefully he learned a lesson, although I think I 460 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: don't know why the lesson was there to be learned. 461 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 5: I'm sure that's the situation they talked about before the game, 462 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 5: so you know, it should have been something that was 463 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 5: handled before they even got to the got to that situation. 464 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 3: But it wasn't well, Larry st Larry Stone joining us. 465 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 4: I was first guessing, not second guessing Carlos Vargas, and 466 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 4: I guess when you pitch Bizarto three total pitches in 467 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 4: a game and then take him out, that's going to 468 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 4: put you a little short in the back end, especially 469 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 4: when you go to extra innings. What did you think 470 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 4: of Vargas versus going ahead and going Emerson Hancock and 471 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 4: playing a little more of the long game and extra 472 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 4: innings on Saturday. 473 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, when you get to eleven, eleventh inning, 474 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 5: you're gonna you're gonna have to go deep into your book. 475 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 5: And I agree with you, Bazzardo probably could have been 476 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 5: stretched one more inning, and then you know that pushes 477 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 5: it back even more. But uh, you know, uh, I 478 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 5: I don't know about I think it's a wash. The 479 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 5: choice between Vargas and Emerson Hancock. You're probably gonna have 480 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 5: to get to Hancock the next inning it if it 481 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 5: went to twelve. Anyway, Vargas has great stuff, but he 482 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 5: could be erratic, and that that that leadoff walk, you 483 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 5: almost knew that that was gonna come back and haunt him, 484 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 5: and it did. 485 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we had a lot of guys putting leadoff 486 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: runners on on on Sunday, and and thank god they 487 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: didn't come back to bite him in the ass with 488 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 2: an owl. But I'll tell you what almost came back 489 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 2: to bite him in the ass, hilarry. Was that error 490 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: by Josh Naylor in the eighth inning. Man, I was 491 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 2: ready to rip his head off, man. And not not 492 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 2: that I would actually do that because I be scared, 493 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 2: but I was as hot as I've been at a 494 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 2: Mariner baseball player in a long damn time. And we've 495 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 2: been speculating, and all we can do is speculate. Bec 496 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: is nobody knows for sure. But man, when you see 497 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 2: a guy at the plate doing some uncharacteristic stuff and 498 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: you see an air like that in the eighth inning, 499 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 2: and then you're it's all, well, his wife's about to 500 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: have a baby. You're like, Okay, I kind of get 501 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 2: it right. He's a human being. He's got to have 502 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 2: his mind elsewhere a little bit. How much of that 503 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 2: do you think played into the way he's played so far? 504 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 5: Well, I saw the picture, Dave of you in the 505 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 5: stands with the glare, and somebody posted on Twitter of 506 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 5: the of the moment of the Naylor. 507 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, Naylor, and you did look like you were ready 508 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 7: to kill. 509 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 3: That was me. That was me when I found out 510 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 3: they ran out of Calicorn. By the way, Yeah, I. 511 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 5: Had nothing to do with here, Okay, I mean it 512 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 5: would be human nature to be distracted. Uh, you know, 513 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 5: I had three kids. I was distracted the lead up 514 00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 5: to all three of them. 515 00:24:59,080 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 6: So U. 516 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 5: It's funny. Naylor was the darling of the Mirror fans all, 517 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 5: you know, the whole two months that they had him, 518 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, everyone was furious at him, 519 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 5: uh after that error. But it's kind of uh, they're 520 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 5: being very cryptic about what's going on. He left for 521 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 5: personal reasons. He's back, but no one's saying whether she 522 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 5: had the baby or not. So it's it's kind of 523 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 5: mysterious until he I guess they're just keeping it private 524 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 5: and letting him tell as much as he wants to tell. 525 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 5: But if she did have the baby, uh, he would 526 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 5: maybe he'll uh he'll relax now and uh and and 527 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 5: start producing because he's he's over eight with with a 528 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 5: huge air so far, so they need him to beat 529 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 5: Josh Naylor again. 530 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 4: Well, on the downside of being very cryptic and being 531 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 4: super personal. If you're Josh Naylor, not letting anything out 532 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 4: is you're just opening up the door for massive speculation 533 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 4: from everybody. And if and if indeed the baby has 534 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 4: been born, it might be better off for everybody just 535 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 4: to get it out there and we can move past. 536 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,239 Speaker 2: This, or if it hasn't been born yet that he's 537 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 2: got a natural built of excuse right. 538 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 3: That's right, right, that's right. 539 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 4: I don't think he's helping himself to be perfectly honest 540 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 4: with you, Larry, keeping this whole thing a secret. 541 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know who knows what's going on behind 542 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 5: the scenes. I will give him his space on this. 543 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 5: It's an intensely personal thing. 544 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 8: You know, who knows. 545 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 6: What's going on. That could be extenuating. 546 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 5: Circumstances that are leading to this. So yeah, I guess 547 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 5: we'll find out after the game, because he'll he didn't 548 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 5: there was no media availability before the game, but there 549 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 5: will be after, so you know, that question will be asked. 550 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 6: We'll see if it's answered. Yeah. 551 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: I think I think we'd all feel terrible if we 552 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: ridiculed him and then found out there was a complication, right, 553 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 2: like something like that went on. So I Larry, I'm 554 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 2: kind of with you on that. But go back to 555 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 2: July eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth. That's the last time, Larry, 556 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 2: the Mariners played at k America Park and they put 557 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: up thirty five runs in three games. Can we take 558 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: anything from that series in July? Or is that just 559 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 2: now water away under the bridge? 560 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,479 Speaker 5: A little water under the bridge. But I think mentally 561 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 5: it probably gives them a little foundation of, you know, 562 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 5: something to take into to take into the game. And 563 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 5: you know, I don't I don't remember what the lineup 564 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 5: was then. They didn't have Nayler or Sworez by then. 565 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 5: But that was kind of a. 566 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 6: Season saving series. 567 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 5: It was immediately following the Yankee sweep, right and they 568 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 5: were they were floundering and leading into the All Star break, 569 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 5: and that was a huge thing. And I mean, it 570 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 5: just tells them that they could they could beat the 571 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 5: Tigers on the road, and they could get in America Park. 572 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 5: So I think both of good things. 573 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 4: Mentally, you think energy will be lacking in the building 574 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 4: a little bit tonight because of the rain delay, or 575 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 4: do you think that the fans will just be doublely 576 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 4: lickored up and it'll be even harder and. 577 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 5: Well, that's yeah, that's an interesting question. It is their 578 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 5: playoff home debut. They played the Wildcard series in Cleveland, 579 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 5: so you know how fired up everyone was in Seattle 580 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 5: for the first game. I think theoretically it should be 581 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 5: the same in Detroit. It's a great baseball town. They 582 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 5: were in the playoffs last year, so it's not like 583 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 5: they've had a big weight like Mariner fans have since 584 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 5: twenty two and you know, only one appearance since one. 585 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 5: So but I don't think they're jaded there yet, and 586 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 5: I expect a pretty lively atmosphere. But I think the 587 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 5: three hour rain delay is sure to put a little 588 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 5: bit of a tamper. 589 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, home field's now gone. It belongs to the 590 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 2: Tigers in this series. Does that change your confidence at all? 591 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 2: I mean we're now tied and it's basically a three 592 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 2: game series with two games out of three out there. 593 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 3: How do you feel now about this thing going? 594 00:28:59,120 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 7: Yeah? 595 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 5: Still like the Mariner's position. Such a huge gutty win 596 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 5: over over Schooble on Sunday. You know, I think if 597 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 5: you'd gone to Detroit with a split the other way around, 598 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 5: you know, you win the opener, you lose to Schooble. 599 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 5: I think everyone would have said, well, that's kind of 600 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 5: the way we you know, that's a natural thing to 601 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 5: lose to the cy Young Award winner. They did it 602 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 5: the other way around. You know, everyone said Game one 603 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 5: was was vital. You know, it's captain obvious here. But 604 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 5: game three, this one is even more vital. Right, you 605 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 5: don't want to go down to one and have I 606 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 5: guess Bryce Millard to pitch tomorrow to save your season 607 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 5: the way he's been kind of inconsistent here. If you're 608 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 5: up to one, you know, Bryce Miller, that's that's fine 609 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 5: because you still have Game five at home with probably 610 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 5: George Kirby. Although you're facing Schooble a game, but you 611 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 5: beat school three times. So I still like the position. 612 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 5: I still think they have a slight edge. If they 613 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 5: win today, they take the home field advantage, and so 614 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 5: that you know, they just have to win tonight. 615 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 616 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: I'm starting to have serious two thousand and one Game 617 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,479 Speaker 2: five Indians vibes. By the way, from from that series 618 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: back in the day, that this thing could go exactly 619 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: the way that one went. The difference is Game four, 620 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 2: they came right home, played Game five the next day. 621 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 2: I know because I was late to Game five after 622 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: my flight got in.

We're getting ready for first 637 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: picks in Detroit. 638 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 2: We have a first pick start time four pm, about 639 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 2: fifteen minutes away. 640 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 3: I cannot think of a better guy to get. 641 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 2: Us ready with some final pregame analysis, final pregame messages, 642 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: final pregame speech. That our friend all courtesy of the 643 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 2: Occidental Hall, our buddy, Billy Krueger, Bill, how are you 644 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: man right? 645 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 6: Good? You know, the the anticipation is killing us. 646 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 2: Literally killing us man lineups around of Rose Arena Raleig, 647 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: Julio Polanco, Naylor Suarez, Ken Zone, Robles Crawford. But I 648 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: learned a long time from you that the one thing 649 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: I should really focus on is the starting pitcher, especially 650 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 2: in the postseasons. So let's talk about this delay. Let's 651 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 2: talk about this lineup against Logan Gilbert tonight and the 652 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 2: whole view from thirty five thousand feet go. 653 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 6: Well, I think again is a pretty steady eddy. I 654 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 6: think that he's organized, and he knows how to carry himself. 655 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 6: He's been there and done that. I think he's pretty cool, 656 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 6: a pretty cool customer. So I don't think any of 657 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 6: this stuff's going to rattle him too much. I think 658 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 6: he's going to do his he get on his program. 659 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 6: They give you enough, fine, they don't give you, like, hey, 660 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 6: thirty seconds and you've got twenty minutes to start drawing. 661 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 6: You know, you have a little bit more insight than 662 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 6: the rest of us idiots out here that don't know 663 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 6: when the game is going to start. So you know, 664 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 6: he'll be able to watch the other pictures warm up. 665 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 6: You know, he can kind of gauge himself that way, 666 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 6: so he'll be fine. He'll be fine. He'll have playing 667 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 6: time to warm up and he'll be he'll be ready 668 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 6: to go. And I like Gilbert in this game. I 669 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 6: think you already heard me. I like Gilbert in game one, 670 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 6: but that's not the direction they went to. But now 671 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 6: here he is, and I think he's the toughest guy 672 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 6: in our staff to hit, so I'll expect him to 673 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 6: have a beg. 674 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 4: Jack flairt is eight and fifteen with a four point 675 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 4: six y nine ERA in his last thirty games, and 676 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 4: that's who Seattle's facing today. He was okay and his 677 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 4: four and two thirds innings pitch last week, but I 678 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 4: mean this. 679 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 3: Seems like a big advantage. 680 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 4: Do you want to come out extra aggressive, particularly after 681 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 4: the delay against this guy or do you see if 682 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 4: he's got location and try to, you know, be a 683 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 4: little bit more patient at the plate against this guy? 684 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 6: Well, yes, he throws a lot of curveballs, and the 685 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 6: curveball is a real tough pis to land. So but 686 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 6: you know, the marriage and the Mariners, I mean, this 687 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 6: isn't a patient team. The patient the most patient hit 688 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 6: or hits nine. So and sometimes he loses patience because 689 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 6: he wishes he was the lead off there. So yeah, 690 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 6: I mean JP, I would love to have JP lead enough, 691 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 6: but that's all cast in stone at this point, because 692 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 6: I'd like to have a guy up there that that 693 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 6: kind of makes this guy have a tough time getting 694 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 6: started in the game right and kind of works the 695 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 6: count and files a couple of balls off and makes 696 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 6: him throw everything at him. You know, I would love 697 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 6: to see that, but you know we're talking hypothetically not reality. 698 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 6: You know, you like to see him get into a 699 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 6: fastball count. He doesn't throw real hard, He's got a 700 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 6: good curve ball. He's been around the block. He can pitch. 701 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 6: It's still the updown game. You know, don't chase the 702 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 6: ball above your hands and you know, try to get 703 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 6: a ball you can handle. He's knocking to overpower you, 704 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 6: so uh, you know, I think the Mariners can do. 705 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 6: And they're away from home, so that these green light 706 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 6: on hitting like those on so and you kind of 707 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 6: expect some guys. I mean that, really this series has 708 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 6: been carried by two guys and then a great cameo 709 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 6: by Polonco. That means that everybody else hasn't hit. That 710 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 6: means that some of these guys are going to hit 711 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 6: just that's just human nature, right, So I kind of 712 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 6: see the weight of the world coming off Naylor's shoulders, 713 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 6: and I think he could have a big game and 714 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 6: play play up to his potential again. And and these 715 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 6: other guys, especially in that top six, and you got 716 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 6: canzone down here. He's sneaky. I thought he was way 717 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 6: impatient in the game he played the first game. He's 718 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 6: swinging at the first pitch they're throwing them, pick the 719 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 6: ball and change up, so he's fillyling and everything he 720 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 6: needs to really and go up there and get a 721 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 6: good ball to hit. Yeah, I think our offense is 722 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 6: going to come on and Gilbert's going to be tough 723 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 6: to hit. The real question for Gilbert is he exhausts 724 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 6: himself trying to strike everybody out and he starts to 725 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 6: get weary in the fifth inning. Hopefully he can get 726 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 6: a few easy outs just by just by accident. Hopefully 727 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 6: he gets some easy out so he doesn't have to 728 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 6: strike everybody out and he can carry the game a 729 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 6: little bit further. 730 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 731 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 2: Well, Polanco, cal and Julio have twenty two total bases 732 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 2: combined the first two games. The rest of the team's 733 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 2: got three in the first two games. Of this series. 734 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 2: But you know, I'll ask you the same question I 735 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: asked Larry Stone Bill when he was on with us 736 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 2: last segment before you and Bill Krueger a game with us. 737 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 2: We're just minutes away from first pitch four o'clock today 738 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 2: from Detroit in game three of the AODS that the 739 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 2: last time the Mariners were at Camerica, the weather was 740 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 2: a bit different, it was mid July and they scored 741 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 2: thirty five runs. Does that series resonate mean anything at all? 742 00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 2: Or is that just history at this point? 743 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 6: I think it's history. You know, these speaks come and go. 744 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 6: You catch a team that you not their starting pitcher 745 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 6: out and then you get a little bit of cannon 746 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 6: fodder in the game, and then the game gets out 747 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 6: of reach. 748 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 7: Right. 749 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 6: But this this this Tiger team from a standpoint of pitching. 750 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 6: They got one giant, tough guy to hit that we've 751 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 6: already faced and we may face him again, who knows. 752 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 6: But the rest of their staff isn't like big stuff, 753 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 6: so uh, none of them and so uh thirty is 754 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 6: not going to be overpowering. Mice is not going to 755 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 6: be overpowering. They don't have a real scary bullpen. They 756 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 6: got some guys that can pitch a little bit. That 757 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 6: Holton kid could pitch. I think he's tough, But yeah, 758 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 6: the Marriers could score runs, and I hope so I'd 759 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 6: like to see Jilbert carry the game a little bit further. 760 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 6: I'd like to see the Mariners so confident in the 761 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 6: starting pitcher and not get into a chess match with 762 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 6: eight D Hinch. Let let Logan pitch. 763 00:36:58,400 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 7: A little bit. 764 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 6: Let's score some runs. Let's have it's a confidence in 765 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 6: our offense. Does not get to one to one and 766 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 6: it's given up one hit. One guy's on base and 767 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 6: you have to take him out because Carpenter's coming to 768 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 6: the plate like he's ruth. I mean what, Gilbert, he's 769 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 6: got better stuff than any of those guys. Think we 770 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 6: got our bullpen? He does, so I hope he gets 771 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 6: to pitch a little bit more. I understand the gravity 772 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 6: of the situation. I understand all that. It's it's everything 773 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 6: hinges on one play, one pitch, and you know it. 774 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 6: I get it. But this is what I hope to 775 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 6: see a few runs score. Gilbert carries the game a 776 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 6: little bit further and it becomes more of a Mariner 777 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 6: style of game, where the starting pitchers, is at least 778 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 6: the co star of the game, along with the offense. 779 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 4: Bill the rain delaid. Does it hurt the Mariners? That 780 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 4: certainly hurt him in that road trip a couple of 781 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 4: months ago. 782 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 3: Does that matter at all? 783 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 6: I think that they have so much adrenaline now that 784 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 6: I can't see how any of that's going to affect him. Yeah, 785 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 6: I really don't. I think that the guys are amp 786 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 6: to play. It's a big moment. They're they're gonna be fine. 787 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 6: They're gonna come out ready to go. 788 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 3: Bill Krueger, great stuff.
