<v Speaker 3>Let's get it.

0:00:49.240 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Rolling and we welcome you to this episode of the

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Marine Layer Podcast, part of the Just Baseball Podcast network,

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>recording here on Thursday evening, February First. You know, well,

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>I kind of feel bad for Mariner fans.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 3>You know why, why.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Don't you enlighten me.

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>We've had a few days now, a few hours, a

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>few sections to sit here and observe some of the

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>feedback from the Jorge Polanco trade, and there's a lot

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>of PTSD out there.

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Dog I still as something that I thought was.

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>A no brainer trade when we talked about it on

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday's show, and it's had its chance to sort of

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>sit and season itself and marinate over the course of

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the week and for people to finally start buying in.

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>It's going the opposite direction now, it's it's still the

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried the Mariner's overpaid for trying to upgrade their roster,

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and it stinks because there's so much I feel like

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>there's so much negativity baked in that to to us

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>as a fan base, that some people, even with a

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>logical and trade that fit like a puzzle piece to

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the Mariner's roster, is somehow still viewed in a negative light.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow, you're telling me that Mariners people online and on

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>social media are being negative. They're being negative about something reasonable.

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Let me let me tell you this. If the mariners

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 2>won the World Series one day in six games, there'd

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 2>be bands on Twitter or online complaining that they didn't win.

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 3>For it's a fair point. Yeah, it's a fair point. No,

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 3>it's a good I gotta chuck.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I gotta chuckle out of this because on our local

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>radio show here in Corvallis, I was I was on

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>there talking about the trade earlier this week, and it

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>was right off of that, like I was brought in

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it, and what prompted it was a

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>text or texting and saying, Oh, I'm worried they paid

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>too much for hojor blonko. I'm just trying to sit

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>there and think. It's like, do you guys want to

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>do you want a second baseman who can hit? Okay,

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>well he's not free.

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 2>These same people that are complaining would be complaining during

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 2>the season if there was no production at second base.

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 2>So no matter what, of course they're going to find

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>something to complain about. This is just how it goes.

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>But we appreciate all of you listeners of the podcast

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 2>and all you watchers on YouTube, and we know if

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you're watching and you're listening, you like us, are a

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>fan of the Jorge Polanco trade. So that's why we

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you fans.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 3>And we certainly appreciate the love.

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>A little bit of love we got back in exchange

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>with Justin Topa on his way out and when it

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>was announced it was officially him posted a little bit

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>of goodbye on Instagram and just really nice it was.

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 3>It was good to see that with Justin Topa.

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>We we're excited to see him when he when he

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>comes back to Seattle in June.

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think what you're getting at is so we

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>posted on Instagram on our story just kind of like, dude,

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>we're always rooting for you, added Justin Topa in the post,

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>saying like twins are getting a great reliever, and he

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 2>responded to us like he actually replied like he could

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>have just liked the message or maybe he would have

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>just seen it and kind of moved on, but no,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>he responded to us like he's like, thank you guys,

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 2>like I really appreciate it, and we said like absolutely, obviously,

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>again we're always fanciers. Hopefully we'll get a chance to

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>catch up in June when when you come back to Seattle,

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>and he responded again he's like, yeah, one hundred percent,

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 2>let's do it, like like you know, catch up at

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>the field and all, which he didn't have to do that,

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 2>but he did, which just goes back to us talking

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 2>about one why we're from a personal standpoint and from

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>a baseball standpoint, really upset to see him go, and

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>because he's just an A plus dude and we've gotten

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 2>to kind of witness that a bunch now. So yeah,

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>we'll always be rooting for justin Toba.

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's someone all of all of our listeners should

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>should be, should be rooting as much as possible when

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>he's in Minnesota. Hope and I hope he makes an

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>All Star team. Hope he establishes himself in a great

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>role with the Twins, and you know, hopefully for his sake,

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 1>they have some success and and and it benefits him

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>greatly and he improves his stock as a major leaguer

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 1>and really sort of solidifies himself as a big leaguer.

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's get into this mailbag. I'm excited for this mailbag.

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>We've got an interesting, diverse set of questions. We wanted

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to mix in baseball questions and live questions as well.

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 1>I think we have we have a nice assortment of them.

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>So let's start out with our first one. This one

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>we got from at Mariner's Steve on X or Twitter,

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the question is, do you guys have more confidence in

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Josh Rojas or Luis Urias to produce at third lyle

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>what's your answer?

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>It's close. I feel like for me it's probably Rojas.

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 2>And maybe that's because we've actually seen him play in

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>a Mariner's uniform, and I feel like there's some people

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 2>out there that are a little bit higher on Luis

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Urrius and the idea of him bouncing back. I have

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>seen a lot of people that are really really of

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the full belief that he's going to have a good

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>year here, and I hope he does. I just would

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 2>like to see it in person in Seattle to really

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 2>believe it. And what we saw at Josh Rojas, I

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 2>feel like a lot of people liked it. For Get

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 2>about the impact he had once he got traded over here,

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 2>because he had a really tough start to his season

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 2>in Arizona for the first few months before the trade.

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:09.919
<v Speaker 2>When he got over here, he was hitting out of

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 2>that nine spot. He was getting on base of time,

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 2>he hit for a little bit of power, upgrade a

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 2>second base over Colton Wong. Of course, now he's going

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to slide to third, where he has more experience. I

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 2>don't know like I like Josh Rojas as a player.

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I've always said if he is a nine hitter in

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.559
<v Speaker 2>a good lineup, that is perfectly okay. Right now, Josh

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Rojas is a nine hitter in a good lineup, so

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I would say, ever so slightly, rojast I thought of

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 2>this differently.

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>It depends on what you're looking for in your third baseman,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>right I think Rojas is the safer option. I think

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Arias is the higher upside at third for what a

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>third baseman should probably bring, which for the Mariners case

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>would be more offense at third. I think Arias would

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>provide that he's got the higher offensive ceiling than Rojastos.

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Rojas and his career has topped out of one ten

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>w orc plus Arrius at a one to twelve. But

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.679
<v Speaker 1>I think with the Batti has a little bit more

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.919
<v Speaker 1>of a power profile. They both have a decent walk tool,

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>so that sort of bounces into Louis Arias's favor. If

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you need one win above replacement, my guy's Josh Rojas.

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>If you need two to two and a half, your

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>guy's Louis Sirius. That's how I plant that I'm honestly

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of leaning towards Louise no offense to Josh, but

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of leaning towards Orias. He just kind of

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 1>he feels more like an everyday third basement than Josh

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Rojas does. I just don't know if Rojas has the

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>bat to do it and the powers, more specifically, the

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>power to be an everyday third basement.

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 3>So I would actually, I would lean Louis Airius in

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 3>this one.

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>You're coming around on him. You're starting to sip the

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 2>tea on Louise Arius a little bit, because that wasn't

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 2>That wasn't either of our take a couple of weeks ago,

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 2>and now all of a sudden, you seem to be

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 2>again buying in.

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, now he's got the benefit of platooning, so he's

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>going to have the advantage most of the time at

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the plate, and that's going to benefit his offense. I'm

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>just thinking of in the sense of what a third

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>basement is. When you think of a third baseman, you

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>think of good defense, You think of a complete offensive

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>player that hits for power and average and gets on

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>base as well. The Mariners don't have the complete package

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>in either of these players, but Josh Rojas profiles much

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>more as a second baseman than he does as a

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>third baseman, and that's why it just it's kind of

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>weird to see him over there at third. We've gotten

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>used to Gino hitting a bunch of bombs and playing

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>good defense over there at third the last two seasons,

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and while they might not have that, Arias is a

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit closer to that Gino profile than Rojas is.

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>And ROAs walks a lot, and overall his approach at

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the plate is good, but when it comes down to it,

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>his lack of power is kind gonna be a detriment

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 1>to his third base production. And that's why it's for

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.559
<v Speaker 1>anyone who watched last season, he could say, oh, obviously Rojas, Well, no,

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's that obvious. To be honest, there

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>is more upside in the bat of Luis Arias if

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>he can turn it around and have a full, healthy

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>season over there.

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 2>You remember what ZIP said, ninetieth percentile projection for Luis

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Airius is one twenty six WRC plus Rojas's ninetieth percentile

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 2>was not that, So you're right if you're looking for upside.

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 2>The belief is Urius Urias. We're gonna have to learn

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>it to make sure to get his last name right.

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we can ask him at some point, or somebody

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>can ask him, is your guy? Urius? Is your guy

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 2>if you want the higher ceiling. So, yeah, I think

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>that's a fair I think that's a fair assessment. Also,

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 2>remember Luis Airius when he hit that home run in

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 2>the WBC off of Roki Sasaki.

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was down in my sad saw that the

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 3>other day.

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean long before we ever thought he was

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be a Mariner. But hey took Roki Sasaki

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 2>deep in the WBC, and you can argue, I mean, again,

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 2>this is a few years down the road, because Sasaki

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 2>has a few years till he's going to get to

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the big leagues. But you could argue that is one

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>of the five best pitchers on the planet. He's just

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 2>playing in Japan right now.

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 3>That's true. So my final answer will be Louis.

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Airius, Okay, I'll go Rojas for now. I guess I'm

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 2>taking a safer route, but prove me wrong, Luis. I

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>would love to see you get back to your twenty

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>one twenty two form. Second question, we got this one's

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram. It comes from Lariana Grande. It says, what

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 2>would it take to land Cody Bellinger at this point,

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 2>trade France and Raleigh to first base? Question mark. So

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 2>what they're saying is, will you trade France, move Rayley

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>to first and then Bellinger would play the outfield. But

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 2>the big question is what would it take to land

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Cody Bellinger. I think I've got my answer to this.

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna hold off yours is.

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>The Mariner's franchise, jumps in a rocket ship, flies off

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to space, through a wormhole into an alternate universe, and

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>lands on Earth two, and then Cody Bellinger agrees to sign.

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you asshole, you stole my answer. That's what I

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>told you pre recording. I said, what do the Mariners

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 2>have to do to get Cody Bellinger? I said, live

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 2>in an alternate reality? And then TJ just elaborated.

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's a difference between living in an alternate reality

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.319
<v Speaker 1>and then actually the physically getting in a rocket ship

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and flying through a wormhole A la.

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:09.199
<v Speaker 3>God damn it. What's that movie star trek? No, maybe

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Matthew Mcconaugheyughell.

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Now I'm not gonna wait oh, Interstellarre interstellar.

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>There there we go, like that, literally that that's what

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 1>they would need to do.

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad I got that on the fly, but otherwise

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>we would have been sitting here for I don't know

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>how long trying to think of interselling.

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 3>I did.

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I did kind of take your alternate reality thing,

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>but you know, alternate reality, interstellar, YadA, YadA, something like

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>that would happen for Cody Bellinger to sign in Seattle.

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>But like, realistically, Cody Bellinger's on the market to play

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>center field. The Mariners have a center fielder that will

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>be there for the next fifteen seasons hopefully. And if

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Cody were to not play center field, he would need

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>probably need to be egregiously overpaid, which we know that

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>will not happen in Seattle. And he would also want

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to hit to go play in a good environment for himself,

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>which Seattle is also not. A couple negatives working there

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 1>against him.

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 2>The other possibility I threw out was the Mariners would

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>have to change ownership groups get a new ownership, then

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe they'd think about Cody Bellinger, but that's not happening

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>as far as we know. So if they were to

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 2>sign him. Yes, we're doing something like trading one of

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Rayley or France and then moving either trading Raley and

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 2>keeping France at first, or trading France and moving Rayley

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 2>to first for Bellinger makes sense, Yeah, it would, But

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 2>signing Cody Bellinger to play for the Seattle Mariners, even

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 2>though it would be a great fit, seems like a

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.719
<v Speaker 2>pretty big reach. I think, like if you're looking at

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 2>one of those top tier free agents still on the market,

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 2>between the two Arms and Jorgan Montgomery, Blake Snell and

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.679
<v Speaker 2>the two Bats, and Matt Chapman and Cody Bellinger, I

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>think if you were to list them out, Chapman honestly

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 2>might make the most sense at this point. I don't

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 2>think they're getting any of them. Chapman might make the

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>most sense. I would put Snell at two, and then

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>some combo of monk Imri and Bellinger after that. So,

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 2>even of the big remaining free agents who will all

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>probably not be Mariners, I think Bellinger is very unlikely.

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you think there's been a single word spoken between

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the Mariners and any of those top four free agents?

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Says somebody said today, and again, this is why I

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know what to believe, because somebody said today, I

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 2>have not listened to The New Extra Innings yet, which

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 2>is Ryan Divish's podcast, but somebody said a division on

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>that podcast that apparently the Mariners have had no contact

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 2>at all with Blake's Now this winner.

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Now, that's what I was about to bring up.

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Now Jared Caravis says they're in on it. I don't

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>know who to believe, because I'm sure they each have sources.

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, I think they're both very good at

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 2>what they do, so I don't really know. It doesn't

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 2>seem like it's happening though.

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>No, it doesn't not good enough dialogue for anything to

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>actually happen. So in summary, it would have to be

0:13:55.200 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>some combination of roster shuffling and magical acquisition of two

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty million dollars to pay Cody Bellinger, which

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think really either of those happening. After the

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Polanco trade, everything seems pretty set, all right. Third question, Lyle,

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>this is from Travis Sorry, Travy Lem's sixteen on Instagram.

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>What is your favorite Seattle spot to eat?

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's a couple different answers I have for this.

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Number One, we're going to take a pause, because one

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 2>of our favorite spots to eat is the Gotcha' Pub

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 2>eighty five. I'm glad ass DJ that is over in Kirkland.

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 2>It's off eighty fifth Street. Awesome place to hang out

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 2>with your friends. It's got twenty two TVs in the place,

<v Speaker 2>awesome pizza, full food menu, full drink menu, and they've

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.600

<v Speaker 2>a great meal, some great drinks, go hang out with

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>your friends, play some pool, watch some games. Head over

0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>to gotch Just Pub eighty five in Kirkland. Back to

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 2>your question. Aside from that which I heavily recommend, I'm

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna take this in two ways. There's another Kirkland food

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 2>spot I like my hometown. And then there's an actual

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Seattle food spot. Because I didn't know exactly what the

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 2>question if he means in the city specifically or just

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 2>near where you guys live. Kirkland, there's a Taraaki place.

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>It's just a local business. I love it. It's called

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Nassai Nassai Teraiaki. I've eaten there forever. I think they

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 2>make awesome dishes, have great teraaki chicken. So if you're

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>ever in Kirkland and wan Teraraaki, I would recommend that

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 2>favorite Seattle food spot in the city Lowells. And for

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 2>those who don't know Lowells, it's a breakfast spot slash

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 2>lunch spot. It's in Pipe Place Market. Awesome food and

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 2>my favorite part of it is if you go up

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to the third floor of the restaurant, you can sit

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 2>right on the glass look out at the entire city.

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>You're right on the water, you can see the ferris wheel,

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you can see the stadiums. Like if you look the

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>opposite way, you can see the city between the food

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and the view at that place, I love of going

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 2>a low So when we were kids, especially when I

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 2>was a kid, my dad used to often like to

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 2>let my mom kind of sleep in on some weekends

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 2>because obviously she did a lot during the week And

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 2>what my dad would do is he'd let my mom

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of sleep in and he'd take me and my

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 2>brother a lot of the time down to Pike Place.

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 2>We'd walk around and we'd usually go eat it Lulls.

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Since I was kind of a young kid, I always

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 2>love going there, and I still love going there now.

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a heartwarming, nostalgic memory.

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Lyle.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, maybe miles a little bit. The Athenian right next there.

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I've eating their food, but they

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>have a great bar in the back that my dad

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>told me about that he had been going to and

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 1>he had to work a little bit more downtown and

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>he would go in there and you just walk straight

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>in and then you walk back to the left and

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it's the same views.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 3>You get the views of the water. They have these

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 3>old like little cubicle like.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Tight like very scrunched in booths for you to sit

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>in and enjoy your beverage or whatever snack you might

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>order back there. It's it's really fantastic. And during the

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 1>summer or during the crowded winter days, it could be

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of hard to get in there and eat because

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>there's so many people rummaging around. But if you ever

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>have an opportunity there like those are those are two

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 1>good historic spots down there in the market.

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.880
<v Speaker 2>So have you ever been to Luwells or just Athenian?

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I've ever been to Lowells.

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Now see, I've been to Luwells a time, but never Athenian.

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, like maybe we have to do both.

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>It's I really don't think I've been to the I

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>haven't been to the Athenian to eat though. Whenever we

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 1>eat down there, it's at the Pipe Place Brewery, oh,

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>which is a little bit a little bit farther down

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:29.959
<v Speaker 1>into the market.

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 3>But oh, that place is good.

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Too, I would say. And just to wrap up my answer,

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 2>what do I usually get at Lulls? I feel like

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I usually get the French toast, at least growing up

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what I always got.

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 1>It was really good, it's pretty, it's pretty tasty. Yeah,

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I probably I will have to go check it out

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 1>next time we're down there. We go once a year

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to the Pipe to Pipe Place at least to go

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>go shop and go eat there. So that's certainly a

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>certainly an option. I have two options here. I think

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I have a little more expertise in the Seattle food scene,

0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 1>having grown up there, opposed to Lyle, who is across

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.959
<v Speaker 1>the water, which I respect. That's why you chose one

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.439
<v Speaker 1>from your hometown and one in Seattle. I don't have

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 1>any besides our friends at Pagatcha's Pub eighty five. Any

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Kirkland spots to promote. Not a frequent food spot of mine, unfortunately.

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.879
<v Speaker 1>So there are are two for me. The first one

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 1>that is very notable to me, So me, my dad,

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>my brother and my uncle always have like a men's

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>night every year that we go out and will eat somewhere.

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 3>Either he lives on the east side, we live on

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 3>the west side. Will usually alternate year to year on

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:30.760
<v Speaker 3>which spot will go to.

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.119
<v Speaker 1>So when we were in high school, we went to

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 1>this Brazilian steakhouse a couple of times that was fantastic.

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 1>It's called the Grill from ip A n E m

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 1>A I Panema I Panema. I think that is very

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 1>good on First Avenue near Belltown.

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:52.719
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:55.919
<v Speaker 1>It's some good stuff, you like, unlimited meat and they

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming and coming,

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and they will just keep like serving all sorts of

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.920
<v Speaker 1>different meat. There's a salad bar two for all the vegetarians.

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty good, I will say, uh. And then the

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>other one that I've been to that is good. I mean,

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.360
<v Speaker 1>these are two fancy options too. I do have one

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>more affordable option that I'll actually pay for myself. Uh.

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 1>But the other fancy option is the MAT. The MET

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 1>is phenomenal that that stuff is. Uh, it's top quality food.

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Uh there at the MET. So I have those two,

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and then my affordable option is Paseo for sandwiches. There's

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a couple locations around North Seattle, uh and elsewhere for

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 1>for these just massive sandwiches that are that are incredible

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and I can't get enough of them. They will fill

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you up and they'll put you asleep, but it's worth

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 1>every penny that you spend on them.

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Where's the MET located? Again?

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.440
<v Speaker 3>I actually don't know if I've ever been pine your square.

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I think, oh, okay, yeah, I was gonna say, I

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 2>haven't been to that Brazilian steakhouse that you name, But

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 2>if I was gonna pick a type of meal, I'd

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.399
<v Speaker 2>want to go out to have oh Brazilian steakhouse as

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 2>somebody who you know can borderline eat like a caveman

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 2>in terms of what their appetites like like me. Oh,

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 2>it's a perfect place in the world because for somebody

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.720
<v Speaker 2>like me, because you just eat until you are quite

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>literally full. So if you.

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Pay one flat price and it just like you pay

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 1>for unlimited and it just keeps coming and coming and coming.

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 3>It's it's a treat.

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.119
<v Speaker 1>It's it's not good if you have high cholesterol, but

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>if you if you have some tolerance, it's it's some

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 1>good stuff. So those are those are mine. Psale also

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 1>has a couple of branches too. I know un Bien

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 1>is owned by the same people, and they also also

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:33.880
<v Speaker 1>do sandwiches, and there's a bunch of spots all over

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the city and it's good stuff. It is it is

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:37.640
<v Speaker 1>well worth it.

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that question, by the way, it was from

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.199
<v Speaker 2>TRAVILMS sixteen on Instagram, So shout out to you for

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the question. We appreciate it. Certainly sparks some dialogue. So yeah,

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 2>that's a good one. Next one, we'll get back to

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 2>baseball a little bit here. This one comes from CSL goits.

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I think I got the last name right, Yeah, CSL goits.

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:03.359
<v Speaker 2>This is also on Instagram, he says, or they say, uh,

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 2>you guys were pretty close with the Polanco Kepler idea.

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Does Trader Jerry go for another right fielder? I do

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.239
<v Speaker 2>like that. I do appreciate the shout out about the

0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Polanco Kepler thing. I will say, while we appreciate it,

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I certainly don't think we were the only ones that

0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:18.960
<v Speaker 2>floated those ideas out there. I think a lot of

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 2>people had similar thoughts in mind about a package deal.

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:26.800
<v Speaker 2>But we appreciate it. That said, I guess there's a

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 2>chance they could sign some low level outfielder to a

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 2>five million dollar contract or something like that, but I

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 2>think that's just about set in terms of the lineup.

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I think the offense is just about set with who

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 2>they're going to roll out there.

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 1>They're open to adding another outfielder. We saw some discourse

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>from Morosi. He had a couple of notes post trade

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 1>on the Polanco trade and he said the Mariners were

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 1>inquiring about Max Kepler and even the price was too high.

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm imagining Miller Wu was entered into the discussion there

0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.439
<v Speaker 1>and that's where the conversation ended. But with Jerry asking

0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>about that means he he'd be open to adding another outfielder.

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 1>The problem is when you look at it now, if

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you were to add another outfielder, something needs to.

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Happen, so there would be people off the roster.

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Off the current roster you would have, you would either

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>move Rayley into first and ty France would do something else,

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:23.160
<v Speaker 1>go somewhere else, trade move positions that doesn't sound realistic,

0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 1>or you would push dom kin Zone off the roster.

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Jerry wants to push dom Kinzone off

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the roster, not with some of the moves and confidence

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>they've given him this offseason. So in discourse, outfielders seems

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.399
<v Speaker 1>like an option still, but in reality, looking at the roster,

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't. Jorgel Hilaire is still a free agent. Makes

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 1>no sense.

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 3>But if you want another one that I guess could be,

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:51.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 1>I like it, Yeah, it's good whatever, Yeah it's a possibility.

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Still, I wouldn't write it off.

0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 2>You'd just be committing to some of the worst outfield

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.280
<v Speaker 2>deep in baseball from Jorge Hilaire if you signed them.

0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 2>That's not why you're signing them, but you'd be committing

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 2>to that.

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Here's the other thing about what Morosi reported, and I

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 2>got to thinking about this, are we sure that reporting

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 2>was accurate in terms of the timeline. Again, like MOROSSI

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 2>may have gotten a note and tweeted it out a

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 2>day or two ago, but are we sure that that

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>kepler news isn't from weeks ago, like before the Hanniger

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 2>and Raley trades, because that would make more That makes

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:31.640
<v Speaker 2>more sense to me. I would have a hard time

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 2>believing after they traded for Hanneger and Raley that they

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 2>were still in on Kepler. Something told me again, Yeah,

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 2>like the Polanco trade had been in the works for

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 2>a long time. It sounds like I would bet you

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 2>at some point there were calls about what would a

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:46.120
<v Speaker 2>package look like. I would bet you after they traded

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:49.120
<v Speaker 2>for Hanneger and Raleigh, less likely they were calling about Kepler.

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 1>If they were asking about that before and the interest

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.160
<v Speaker 1>subsided after, then they won't.

0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Be adding another outfielder. I don't think that makes sense.

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 1>That makes more sense roster wise than them still looking

0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>around and poking and trying to find another outfielder.

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 3>There's still are a few out there.

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't make as much sense though, And I don't think

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Jerry wants to give up on Don Kim Zone and

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Ty France unfortunately, but they think that's going to be

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>better for the roster this upcoming season.

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's unfortunately. I want to see Ty

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Frans bounce back. I want to see dom Canzone thrive.

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't want those guys like I want to see

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 2>those guys here.

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, then I used I used poor wording on that.

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>So they're going to be on the roster this year.

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be at spring training coming up here in

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks. Let's get to our next question.

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:43.120
<v Speaker 1>This comes from Ellie who runs Tried and takeover from

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram. Which parks have you been to and could

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you rank them all? So I'm going to throw the

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 1>floor to you first.

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I can rank them all. So I've

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 2>been to nineteen so far of the thirty. I've been

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>stuck at nineteen since the summer of twenty twenty two,

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 2>so it has been a long time since I've gotten

0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 2>to a new one. The only West Coast stadium I

0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:06.440
<v Speaker 2>have not been to yet is Dodger Stadium. It's funny.

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I was supposed to go in April twenty twenty, but

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.960
<v Speaker 2>obviously COVID happened. There was no baseball, et cetera. Unless, oh,

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 2>unless you count Colorado as the West coast, do you, I.

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Don't Western, not West coast.

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, so I've been to nineteen. Haven't been to

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Colorado or La yet. But favorite ones. I think Oracle

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 2>is my favorite, and I haven't been to Oracle since

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I was ten. I would love to go back because

0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 2>it's an unbelievable ballpark, but that one's up there. I

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.640
<v Speaker 2>would say Citizens Bank Parks definitely up there. In Philly,

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.200
<v Speaker 2>PNC Parks absolutely up there, which you and I went

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:43.639
<v Speaker 2>to together, Bush Stadium, and Saint Louis is incredible. I

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:47.639
<v Speaker 2>put Wrigley and Fenway in different categories. Awesome ballparks like

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:49.159
<v Speaker 2>those are on the list two. In terms of the

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 2>ones I loved, the difference is those are almost historical

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 2>baseball landmarks rather than these new, upscale, state of the

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 2>art stadiums like Oracle, PNC, Bush Stadium ones like that.

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 2>So favorite one, I would probably say Oracle that I've

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 2>been to, and all the other ones I listed are

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:07.399
<v Speaker 2>not far behind.

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 3>I've been a fourteen. I ranked all fourteen. Oh you

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 3>gonna hear them?

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's do it.

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:14.160
<v Speaker 3>I've wriggly won.

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you, Lyle, I've not had more fun

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:18.720
<v Speaker 1>at a baseball game that I don't have a dog

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 1>in the fight than the time you and I went

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:24.199
<v Speaker 1>to Wrigley Field summer of nineteen I've never had a

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:27.399
<v Speaker 1>better experience at a ballpark than that. Like, wasn't that

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>just a magical Like wasn't that a magical experience?

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.680
<v Speaker 3>That was unreal so fun.

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Like Cubs fans are unbelievably cool, Like they're they're smart,

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 2>they're into the game, Like people are just having a

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 2>blast at Wrigley. It was a summer day, but it

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 2>was like it was a weekday, but it was passed.

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:46.400
<v Speaker 1>It was so first of all, it was a weekday.

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:49.199
<v Speaker 1>We were driving in We had started the day in

0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Sioux City.

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, so let's do it all the time.

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's get so we're driving across the country. We

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 1>were going from Seattle to Cape Cod at this point.

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>This is smack right in the middle of that trip.

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 1>So we had started the day in Sioux Falls in

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 1>South Dakota, and we were going to plan on ending

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the night in Chicago. We ended up somewhere we were

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>our hotel was somewhere south of Chicago. I don't remember exactly,

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 1>but it was right near the freeway to get back

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>on and start hitting east again through through Indiana and such.

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>So we had we had had a full day of

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.400
<v Speaker 1>driving at that point. As we got into Chicago through

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:30.920
<v Speaker 1>rush hour traffic. We were trying to get there on time.

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 1>We park in someone in someone's parking spot behind their house.

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 1>We paid what forty bucks I think, Uh the park

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:39.399
<v Speaker 1>We were just driving at a stadium and you're like,

0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 1>all right, it's time to look for parking. We're just

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>driving through a neighborhood and there's Wrigley and we park

0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 1>in someone's backyard and we scramble in and get there,

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 1>get in there in time. I mean, you could just

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.600
<v Speaker 1>feel the energy. It's packed, the place was sold out,

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 1>it was warm. We get in there and like we sit,

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.280
<v Speaker 1>We like run right up to our seats and sit down,

0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and I remember just sitting there thinking I'm looking around.

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like just felt like baseball.

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.959
<v Speaker 1>So it felt like the seat sucked like this, like

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 1>not this. The visual of the seats, the seat itself

0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 1>was awful. I remember it was tilted down like this.

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:12.920
<v Speaker 2>They're metal bleachers. No, it wasn't even that.

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 1>It was like old wooden chip wooden seats that were

0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:17.920
<v Speaker 1>from like the forties.

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 2>You're right, that were that were like warped.

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Forward and we were almost sliding up.

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>But like I didn't care because it felt like baseball,

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and I like, I love the location to the locations,

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:32.959
<v Speaker 1>like a neighborhood ballpark that's like kind of like Ebett's Field,

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:35.960
<v Speaker 1>just tucked right in there amongst all the houses. You have,

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>all the vendors outside and inside, and it just feels

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>like a family atmosphere. And even though it's not a

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 1>brand new, updated ballpark, the experience and just the feeling

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>of a summer baseball game there is like nothing I've

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>ever felt anywhere else.

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 2>And Wrigleyville is so cool, Like they have all these

0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:57.600
<v Speaker 2>bars that people go to right around the stadium. I

0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 2>wish Seattle had something like that, Like these ballpark districts

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 2>that are in some of these cities. It makes such

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 2>a difference, I think. Also, yeah, let me just give

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 2>people a little more context about our drive. It was

0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:11.720
<v Speaker 2>like five six days. I mean, we stopped in Cordelaine

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the first day, but I'd say the highlights of the

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:16.040
<v Speaker 2>trip where we went to Mount Rushmore. So that was

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool. I mean, how often are you in the

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>middle of nowhere South Dakota went to Wrigley I said,

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 2>we went to PMC, which, by the way, we went

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:25.959
<v Speaker 2>to PNC. Those tickets were one dollar because the pirates

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 2>were awful. Then one dollar to see maybe the nicest

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 2>park in baseball. We went to a few. Oh here's

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 2>my favorite part. We went to the Field of dream

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 2>site in Iowa. How often are you in Dyersville, Iowa

0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of nowhere? And this is before the

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 2>actual baseball field got built for the games. It was

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 2>just the movie site. I learned very shortly before this

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 2>trip starts. He just like, oh, yeah, I've never seen

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the movie. I was like, you've never seen Field of

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Dreams And he's like, no, is like and in the

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 2>month time we plan this drive, it's like you you

0:29:57.920 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 2>never bothered to sit down and watch it between all

0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the Game of Throne stuff you were watching. He was

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 2>like no. I was like, well, that seems like a

0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 2>mistake because you're not going to appreciate what we're seeing.

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.720
<v Speaker 2>So so that happened. But I was gonna say the

0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 2>reason we drove cross country by the way we were

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 2>in We were both broadcast interns for two summers in

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 2>a row in the Kite Codley. Second summer, tej I

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 2>wanted to get his car out there. We did the

0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 2>cross country drive and saw a bunch of cool stuff

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:21.040
<v Speaker 2>along the way.

0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, don't get many opportunities to drive all the

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:28.479
<v Speaker 1>way across the country, So when the opportunity presents itself,

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you do it.

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:29.920
<v Speaker 3>You take that option.

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, that's a long winded way of me saying Wrigley

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 1>is my favorite ballpark I've ever been to. Okay, t

0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Mobile slightly biased is two Oracles three, Petco Park, four,

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Fenway Park, five, Camden Yards six, PNC Park seven, and

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 1>then there's a pretty big gap City Field at eight,

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Yankee Stadium nine, New Yankee Stadium to clarify is at nine,

0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Angels Stadium at ten, Chase Field at eleven, Rogers Center

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>at twelve thirteen is Old Yankee Stadium. In fourteenth was

0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago. The two Chicago stadiums bookend

0:31:09.160 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the list.

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I've been to Guaranteed Rate two. I've been once. I

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 2>wanted to get it off the list. I will probably

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 2>never go back unless it's an extenuating circumstance. If I'm

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 2>in Chicago for a baseball game, unless the Mariners are

0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:22.680
<v Speaker 2>playing at the White Sox and I really want to

0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 2>go see them, I'm just going to Wriglely. Guaranteed Rate

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:28.680
<v Speaker 2>was awful. We bought. You did this too, We bought

0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 2>cheap seats for the third level. It's like, well, we'll

0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 2>walk around the ballpark. See what else that offers. Oh no,

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 2>they don't let you down to the first level. If

0:31:36.680 --> 0:31:39.160
<v Speaker 2>you buy third level seats, you're stuck there. Like they

0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:41.640
<v Speaker 2>don't let you walk around the ballpark. Also, the food's

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 2>like not very good. But yeah, you.

0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Know how all that baseball energy I was talking about

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:49.320
<v Speaker 1>around Wrigley there is none of that guaranteed rate field.

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 3>It is not quite complete opposite.

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like sitting there in a mall, an empty mall,

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:56.440
<v Speaker 1>watching a baseball game, an open air mall.

0:31:56.880 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 3>It's stuck.

0:31:57.560 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Was not a fan, No, yeah, and I will be.

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Oakland Coliseum would be last have I been?

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:02.880
<v Speaker 3>But I have not.

0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh I've been there. That one's last on my list.

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you that it is. Yeah, you've been

0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:10.720
<v Speaker 2>to a couple. I haven't been Doe, so credit to

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:12.720
<v Speaker 2>You've been to Camden. I've only been outside of Camden,

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 2>never do a game. E've been to the Rogers Center,

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, there's some others I still have to get

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 2>to for sure.

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Rogers Center all is just is a mall as

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:20.240
<v Speaker 1>well just so slightly newer.

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, teacher the fourteen, I'm at nineteen. But for being

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 2>the ages we're at, i'd say we've gotten to a

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:27.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of stadium so far in our lifetime. Hopefully we

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 2>get to all thirty. Okay. Fifth question a little bit

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 2>more back to Mariner's news. This one comes from this

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 2>was on Twitter, and this question comes from want to

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 2>make sure I get the at name right. It was. Yeah,

0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:45.040
<v Speaker 2>it's from Bravo Tim or his name is Bravoch. It's

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:48.320
<v Speaker 2>at Bravo Tim on Twitter. He says, wasn't a decision

0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 2>or at least an update for what's next regarding the

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 2>RSN situation supposed to be made by the end of January.

0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Have you heard anything we did?

0:32:57.080 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 3>We?

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we remember hearing the same thing saying we supposed

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>to hear something in January about the RSN stuff. No,

0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:05.440
<v Speaker 2>we haven't heard anything, Like we haven't talked to Jeff

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Baker about it again since then. We haven't heard anything

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 2>from anybody else about it since then. If we do,

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 2>it'll probably be along with the rest of you guys,

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 2>if somebody posts something about it on Twitter. But for

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 2>right now, they're not making information public about it as

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 2>far as we know, and we're probably in wait and

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 2>see mode.

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 1>We'll have a good idea once the Mariners start broadcasting

0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 1>their games and that strain on the production model of

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the Mariners really starts setting in and the expenses of

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 1>running a television network really starts to set in. Because

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>that's what has happened over the past month. The Mariners

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 1>have had full ownership of Root Sports. They've yet to

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 1>make any changes, but I wouldn't take that as changes

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>aren't coming, because changes are almost certainly coming. They've made

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 1>that very apparent that they do not entail to run

0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the current network as it is given their current financial state,

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 1>and it sucks, but that's what it is.

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:57.680
<v Speaker 2>If you go back and listen to that Jeff Baker

0:33:57.720 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 2>interview that we did, we asked them how much longer

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 2>do you think Root Sports has left? And he doesn't

0:34:02.120 --> 0:34:04.240
<v Speaker 2>know for certain, but he said I wouldn't be surprised

0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 2>if at the end of the baseball season it's no

0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:09.320
<v Speaker 2>longer a thing, which is really tough, and the Marrigers

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:10.839
<v Speaker 2>are gonna have to figure something else out. A lot

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.080
<v Speaker 2>of teams will but all up in limbo for right now.

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 2>We're waiting to find out.

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:20.880
<v Speaker 1>And if we're saying that the Arrison situation in the future,

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I think we floated it back then when talking to Jeff.

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball wants to get as many teams as

0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:31.320
<v Speaker 1>possible under their broadcast umbrella so they can do seventeen teams,

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:35.799
<v Speaker 1>and the Mariners, given their current situation, want probably want

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:38.359
<v Speaker 1>to be one of those seventeen teams because I don't

0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 1>think they have another option to put their games on television.

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Besides doing that, I'm.

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Guessing major League Baseball in the long term probably wants

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 2>to expand their bandwidth on that too.

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>M Yeah, except for the teams that will just straight

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.040
<v Speaker 1>up refuse it because they don't need it. The Yankees,

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox, the Dodgers, the Giants, wilch of the first,

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Phillies first two Yeah, I.

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Was gonna say first three for sure, Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers, Yeah,

0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:06.799
<v Speaker 2>and probably the Giants two.

0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:07.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the PHILLIESOU do okay too. There might be

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple other ones too. The Angels are doing okay

0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 1>down there in southern California. Besides that, yeah, it might

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:21.880
<v Speaker 1>be everyone else. Talk about disparity, no competitive balance.

0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:25.360
<v Speaker 2>No, there is not there really really is not.

0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Next question, this is perfect that I'm asking this to you.

0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 1>What's your favorite Mariners friendship on the team. This comes

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:39.880
<v Speaker 1>from shawna an at caid Zach Demo fan on Twitter.

0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 2>There's a few different ways you could go about this, Honestly,

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 2>at one point I would have said Topa and Sauce,

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:48.160
<v Speaker 2>but obviously Topa's not here anymore. But those guys were

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:50.600
<v Speaker 2>always really good friends, and they were they were very

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:53.239
<v Speaker 2>different characters because I mean, for anybody that listened to

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:56.280
<v Speaker 2>the interview with Topa just watches Hope on the field

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and how he goes about his business, he's much more

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 2>like super like we've talked about, but like when he's

0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:05.240
<v Speaker 2>not on that a little quieter, a little more reserved.

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 2>And then you got Sauce out here cooking up conspiracies

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 2>about Babe Ruth and Ted Williams, and he's out here

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 2>talking trash about the Seahawks to his other reliever friends

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:15.320
<v Speaker 2>who are fans of other teams. Like, they're very different

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.520
<v Speaker 2>in that way, but they were always very very good

0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:21.839
<v Speaker 2>friends as far as we know. Current one I did

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 2>like the Bryce Miller and Brian wou thing, like those

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 2>guys are known to be good friends. They did a

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 2>couple segments together this year. One of them they went

0:36:28.560 --> 0:36:32.600
<v Speaker 2>and tried Skyline Chili and Cincinnati, which I think Skyline

0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Chili is disgusting.

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:35.640
<v Speaker 3>But I did one other thing we found out on

0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:36.360
<v Speaker 3>that road trip.

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we went to Skyline Chili on that road trip.

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 2>It was I mean, I had like, I didn't even

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:43.279
<v Speaker 2>order a full thing. TJ did and he was like, wow,

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 2>this is not good.

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.879
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was real live, my expectations set through

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the roof.

0:36:47.760 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but Bryce Miller and Brian Wood seem to have

0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:52.279
<v Speaker 2>a blast with it with that Mariner segment they did

0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:54.799
<v Speaker 2>on the Mariner Social channels and they were kind of

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:57.279
<v Speaker 2>grilling each other back and forth and sharing some laughs.

0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:58.880
<v Speaker 2>So those guys seem like they're good friends. So I

0:36:58.960 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 2>like that one.

0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:04.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think it's kind of hard to measure friendships.

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna go with the two boys that appeared

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 1>on the Pitching Ninja podcast together with Pitching Ninja our

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:15.439
<v Speaker 1>friend Rob Friedman Logan and George Kirby. I think those

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 1>two an interesting mix of personality, two different ways to

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 1>approach I guess being themselves, but it works out, and

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 1>there are two keys in the cog of that rotation.

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they are. That was a fun one. Last question

0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 2>we've got here on the mail bag before we get

0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:38.799
<v Speaker 2>to some other stuff. This one comes from Kyle at

0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Kyle A W three Williams on Twitter. He says, what

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.439
<v Speaker 2>are your guesses for the eight bullpen spots on opening Day?

0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:47.560
<v Speaker 2>What do you got?

0:37:49.040 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 1>There's four locks, Munno, Sprash, Sauce, and spire Lon and

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I both have those. I think Austin both is almost

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:03.120
<v Speaker 1>so he's leaning toward Locke because he can start and relieve,

0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and with the Sclaffani off the roster, the Mariners are

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 1>going to need someone like that in their bullpen. I

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:11.640
<v Speaker 1>think Perlander Burrow with the trade of Justin Topa, is

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:14.440
<v Speaker 1>nearing towards a spot as well, given he stays healthy

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:16.879
<v Speaker 1>and looks good during spring training, doesn't walk a bunch

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:20.160
<v Speaker 1>of batters. Then that comes down to the final two spots,

0:38:20.160 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm assuming the Mariners carry an eight man bullpen

0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>like they have much of the last three seasons. I

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 1>think Jackson Khar is going to make the roster. Yes,

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I did sit on this podcast and say that Jackson

0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Coar has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball

0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>since he's debuted, if not the worst pitcher in baseball,

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:40.360
<v Speaker 1>but he is on a major league contract, is not.

0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe he's been optioned to the miners, and

0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:45.160
<v Speaker 1>therefore I think he would be lean. It would be

0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 1>leaning towards him being on the major league roster to

0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:51.839
<v Speaker 1>start the season. My final one would be Trent Thornton, uh,

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 1>someone who spent some time in the big leagues with

0:38:54.640 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the Mariners last year, has had varying levels of success

0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and is more proven in the eyes of Scott Servis

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>and Jerry Depoto than some of these other guys that

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:04.960
<v Speaker 1>they brought in in the offseason. It's just kind of

0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 1>hard to judge some of the minor league deals they

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:10.239
<v Speaker 1>brought guys in on and saying they're gonna make the

0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:12.840
<v Speaker 1>big league roster when we haven't watched them pitch yet.

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 3>So we can reevaluate this question. As spring training goes along, we.

0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Have seven of the same eight. I have Muno's brash Spire, Sasto, Vothe, Thornton, Barroa,

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and then that eighth spot. What it's really going to

0:39:27.400 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 2>come down to is who wins it in spring training,

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and maybe the seventh and eighth spots or spring training battles,

0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:34.359
<v Speaker 2>but especially that last one. There's a handful of guys

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.279
<v Speaker 2>that'll be in it. Jackson Cohor will be in it.

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Ty Id Coock will be in it. Edward Bizzarro be

0:39:38.960 --> 0:39:40.239
<v Speaker 2>in it, who was in the bullpen for a bit

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:44.120
<v Speaker 2>last year. There's a few others too, like Cody Bolton,

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:47.080
<v Speaker 2>they acquired Ty Butchery, they signed, Like, there's gonna be

0:39:47.080 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 2>a handful of guys in the running for this. I'm

0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:52.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with ty Idcock. I know he got sent

0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to the miners last year at one point after getting

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 2>called up and then got hurt, but he had some

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:00.160
<v Speaker 2>awesome stuff at certain points when he was up. No,

0:40:00.239 --> 0:40:02.400
<v Speaker 2>he's only getting better and better as he's learning to

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 2>be a pitcher even more. He hasn't thrown that many innings,

0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and truthfully, I just love to see him thrive. Like

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 2>obviously we're probably a little bit biased because he's the

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:10.800
<v Speaker 2>front of the pod, but I think he's going to

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:13.160
<v Speaker 2>be right in the mix, and we're rooting for him

0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 2>to be on the big league team. So eighth guy

0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:17.760
<v Speaker 2>at least right now before we see any spring training battles,

0:40:18.000 --> 0:40:19.960
<v Speaker 2>give me ty Idcock that.

0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Would be super cool.

0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>And regardless of what mix of relievers make the bullpen

0:40:24.520 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>this year, it's I'm very interested to see what the like,

0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:30.799
<v Speaker 1>what kind of styles this bullpen is going to be.

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 1>The Mariners bullpen last season adopted the style of heavy sinkers,

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:39.799
<v Speaker 1>lots of ground balls, lots of velocity. How are the

0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 1>shapes of these new guys gonna gonna add on to this?

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Are they going to embrace that? Or are they going

0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to have a couple of different styles in there? Are

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 1>they going to have more of a Is somebody else

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:50.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be a more Matt brash type who throws

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:53.319
<v Speaker 1>a flat fastball and a slider and is not a

0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:57.280
<v Speaker 1>ground ball savant, or are they going to have more

0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:57.960
<v Speaker 1>sinker balls.

0:40:58.000 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 3>I think that's going to be something to see.

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I forgot to throw Carlos Vargas into that next. You

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:04.799
<v Speaker 2>will absolutely be in the running too, because I mean,

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 2>he may be this year's topa in the sense of

0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:10.360
<v Speaker 2>different type of arsenal, but he may start in the Miners,

0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:12.560
<v Speaker 2>get some work for a little bit, come up to

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:15.680
<v Speaker 2>the big leagues, and he has the stuff to be lethal.

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:18.120
<v Speaker 2>So keep that name on watch too.

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:21.279

<v Speaker 1>new year with some new gear from Simply Seattle. Let's

0:41:57.360 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>get to our MLB wrap around. Only one thing on

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the wrap Around today, Lyle. Right before we hit record,

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles have sprung a trade for right handed pitcher

0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 1>from the Milwaukee Brewers Corbyn Burns. They will send back

0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:21.120
<v Speaker 1>their number six prospect, Joey Ortiz, left handed pitcher DL Hall,

0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and a compensatory pick in the twenty twenty four draft reaction.

0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:29.959
<v Speaker 2>They didn't have to give up very much for him either.

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 2>You're talking about two guys in dial Hall, who was

0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:35.640
<v Speaker 2>once a top one hundred prospect. Now he's mostly a

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:39.320
<v Speaker 2>reliever that's going back to Milwaukee. And then Joey Ortiz,

0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:41.640
<v Speaker 2>who per arm Layton of Just Baseball, who does some

0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:43.719
<v Speaker 2>awesome prospect write ups. You should go check him out

0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:46.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're into prospects. He has Ortiz at six in

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:49.400
<v Speaker 2>terms of the Oriol's top prospects, and that's a loaded system.

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 2>But that means there's five guys ahead of Ortiz. That's

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:54.920
<v Speaker 2>all they had to give up for Corbyn Burns, a

0:42:54.920 --> 0:42:56.759
<v Speaker 2>guy who was a cy young winner, is going to

0:42:56.800 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 2>be pitching on opening Day in this rotation. What the

0:43:00.239 --> 0:43:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Oriols one weakness last year starting pitching, Well, they've got

0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:07.360
<v Speaker 2>a starting arm now that along with Grayson Rodriguez, along

0:43:07.400 --> 0:43:09.920
<v Speaker 2>with John Means, along with some other guys in that rotation,

0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Bradish. Obviously, we should say that's a really good

0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:16.160
<v Speaker 2>rotation and Burns is going to be pitching at the

0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:16.640
<v Speaker 2>top of it.

0:43:17.400 --> 0:43:20.160
<v Speaker 1>He's making about fifteen and a half million dollars this year,

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:23.320
<v Speaker 1>so I'll say, while we're saying, yeah, it's an underpay,

0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the Brewers could only negotiate.

0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 3>Against one year. Because he has not owed anything beyond

0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:28.439
<v Speaker 3>this year.

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:33.000
<v Speaker 1>The Orioles are gonna extend him and normally under the

0:43:33.000 --> 0:43:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Angelo's family would have said no, they're not gonna extend

0:43:35.880 --> 0:43:38.480
<v Speaker 1>him because the Angel's family doesn't spend money. Well, something

0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:40.239
<v Speaker 1>we have not talked about here on this podcast. The

0:43:40.239 --> 0:43:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Orioles have been sold. They are sold to a couple

0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:46.960
<v Speaker 1>of private equity billionaires that are heading this thing. And

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:51.279
<v Speaker 1>let's just say they have significantly more capital and they

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:55.400
<v Speaker 1>seem like they're significantly more willing to spend on players

0:43:55.880 --> 0:43:57.600
<v Speaker 1>as owners of the Orioles. So not only are they

0:43:57.600 --> 0:44:00.280
<v Speaker 1>going to acquire the Orioles, but they're also gonna require

0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:04.239
<v Speaker 1>of the regional sports network that broadcasts the Orioles. And

0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say like that means that Corbyn Burns is

0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:11.839
<v Speaker 1>probably getting paid now what I told you. I will

0:44:11.880 --> 0:44:15.760
<v Speaker 1>believe the Orioles will spend money on good baseball players

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:19.240
<v Speaker 1>when I see a Jeff pass And notification that Corbyn

0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Burns has signed a two hundred and fifty million dollar extension.

0:44:22.800 --> 0:44:26.759
<v Speaker 1>When that happens, I will believe things have turned for

0:44:26.880 --> 0:44:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles.

0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:29.640
<v Speaker 3>They're only a week end of new ownership.

0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:32.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a bit of an accelerated timeline, but you can

0:44:32.520 --> 0:44:35.719
<v Speaker 1>already see like the pushes there and the the optimism

0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:39.399
<v Speaker 1>from the availability of funds with the front office is there,

0:44:39.440 --> 0:44:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and the Oriols are.

0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Their shaping up pretty nicely. I gotta say, you didn't

0:44:46.000 --> 0:44:46.640
<v Speaker 3>want to believe it.

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 2>But if, and again it's an if the new ownership

0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:54.240
<v Speaker 2>starts spending money on really good players, you're talking about

0:44:54.280 --> 0:44:58.200
<v Speaker 2>a potential I don't want to say dynasty, but you're

0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:02.320
<v Speaker 2>talking about a team that's gonna be in World Series

0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:05.000
<v Speaker 2>contention every year. Because what do the Orioles have. They've

0:45:05.000 --> 0:45:08.319
<v Speaker 2>already got a ridiculous young core in place Adley, They've

0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:10.840
<v Speaker 2>got Gunner Henderson, They've got some real guys in the

0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:14.600
<v Speaker 2>rotation at this point. They've got like they've got real

0:45:14.640 --> 0:45:16.600
<v Speaker 2>bats in the lineup already, but some of the best

0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:19.480
<v Speaker 2>guys aren't even here yet. Like so built around Adlee

0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:23.080
<v Speaker 2>and Gunner and Cedric Mullens and some others. You got

0:45:23.160 --> 0:45:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Jackson Holliday who is twenty years old, but he's gonna

0:45:26.280 --> 0:45:28.120
<v Speaker 2>be up in the big leagues this year. I'm almost confident.

0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:31.960
<v Speaker 2>You've got a couple other prospects. They've got a catcher

0:45:32.000 --> 0:45:36.440
<v Speaker 2>with Samuel Bissio, who's supposed to be like toward the

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:38.560
<v Speaker 2>top of prospect rankings here in the near future too.

0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:42.040
<v Speaker 2>He's got ridiculous upside. They got Kobe Mayo, they've got

0:45:42.400 --> 0:45:44.160
<v Speaker 2>still got cursed at and Kowser on the way like,

0:45:44.160 --> 0:45:46.920
<v Speaker 2>they've got a ridiculous farm, and they've already got a

0:45:46.920 --> 0:45:49.640
<v Speaker 2>young core in place, and now you have ownership that

0:45:49.680 --> 0:45:53.240
<v Speaker 2>potentially is willing to spend real money. Those three things

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:57.040
<v Speaker 2>right there are quate to being world serious contenders year

0:45:57.080 --> 0:45:57.759
<v Speaker 2>in and year out.

0:45:58.800 --> 0:46:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't throw around the word lightly judging that they

0:46:01.600 --> 0:46:03.880
<v Speaker 1>won exactly. They won as many playoff games as the

0:46:03.880 --> 0:46:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Mariners did last season. But if they like next, I

0:46:08.560 --> 0:46:10.400
<v Speaker 1>think next year will be a little bit of a

0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:13.120
<v Speaker 1>better gauge. I was under the assumption this year that

0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:16.719
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles were a little bit lucky, especially with their

0:46:16.760 --> 0:46:18.799
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and one win total, so it might be

0:46:18.840 --> 0:46:20.600
<v Speaker 1>a tiny bit overinflated. I'm not going to put a

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:23.080
<v Speaker 1>crown on their head yet, but you know what, they

0:46:23.160 --> 0:46:27.120
<v Speaker 1>are exciting to watch, and you know it's gonna get

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 1>fans to the ballpark. By going out and acquiring all

0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:32.919
<v Speaker 1>stars to pitch in your rotation, to compliment your young core,

0:46:33.160 --> 0:46:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna that's gonna get people a reason to come

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:37.800
<v Speaker 1>out and buy season tickets and spend a bunch of

0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.239
<v Speaker 1>nights at the ballpark in a given year, and that

0:46:40.640 --> 0:46:43.280
<v Speaker 1>revenue will go back into the new owner's.

0:46:42.920 --> 0:46:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Pocket and they will they will keep this train rolling.

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:49.680
<v Speaker 2>So isn't there a free agent next year that says

0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to have an East Coast preference and is going to

0:46:52.040 --> 0:46:54.480
<v Speaker 2>be looking for a fat contract and probably wants to

0:46:54.480 --> 0:46:56.800
<v Speaker 2>play for a winning team. I'm not saying it's happening

0:46:56.880 --> 0:46:58.920
<v Speaker 2>for sure, but could you imagine if this new Oriols

0:46:59.120 --> 0:47:01.400
<v Speaker 2>ownership group pulled that off and sign one.

0:47:01.320 --> 0:47:05.480
<v Speaker 1>So and he's just sitting and he's just sitting just

0:47:06.239 --> 0:47:09.640
<v Speaker 1>a stone's throw away from DC while they're just looking,

0:47:09.680 --> 0:47:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and he told them no, told them no.

0:47:13.440 --> 0:47:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Stakes, Like, if this ownership group is really gonna

0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:20.400
<v Speaker 2>spend I'm not guaranteeing it, but don't sleep on that idea.

0:47:20.719 --> 0:47:23.719
<v Speaker 2>You've got all these young guys paired with bringing one

0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Soto in.

0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:26.839
<v Speaker 3>We need to see what kind of money they're throwing around. Though.

0:47:26.880 --> 0:47:27.839
<v Speaker 3>First there is a.

0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Different I will say there's are they a one big

0:47:31.440 --> 0:47:35.399
<v Speaker 1>contract ownership group, are they a two big contract ownership group,

0:47:35.480 --> 0:47:39.720
<v Speaker 1>or are they like, let's bankroll this thing. Let's remember,

0:47:40.080 --> 0:47:43.600
<v Speaker 1>as we love to hear from everyone in the Mariners organization,

0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:48.040
<v Speaker 1>young players get expensive very quickly, and they understand that too,

0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and especially with the caliber of players they have, that's

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 1>something they'll have to envision if they can. If they

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:57.839
<v Speaker 1>sign Corbyn Burns, sign Juan Soto, manage to extend all

0:47:57.880 --> 0:48:00.279
<v Speaker 1>of these guys when their contracts come up and have

0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:02.959
<v Speaker 1>no problem and don't blink an eye. That's a hat

0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:05.320
<v Speaker 1>tip right there. Talk about a one to eighty of ownership.

0:48:05.520 --> 0:48:06.440
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible.

0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:10.720
<v Speaker 2>So Jackson Holiday, I'm pretty sure as a Scott Boris client,

0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:13.120
<v Speaker 2>so maybe you can throw that one out because or

0:48:13.160 --> 0:48:14.839
<v Speaker 2>maybe you bring him back in free agency. But again,

0:48:14.880 --> 0:48:16.480
<v Speaker 2>he hasn't even hit the big leagues yet, so we

0:48:16.480 --> 0:48:18.359
<v Speaker 2>can worry about that years and years down the road.

0:48:18.400 --> 0:48:21.240
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, if they signed Burns and Soto, they extend Adley,

0:48:21.280 --> 0:48:25.479
<v Speaker 2>and they extend Gunner Henderson right there, major hat tip

0:48:25.520 --> 0:48:31.120
<v Speaker 2>to them. Major. Yeah, there's not much else going on

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:34.239
<v Speaker 2>in terms of transactions these days. Reese Hoskin signed a

0:48:34.239 --> 0:48:36.320
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago with the Brewers. So speaking of Milwaukee,

0:48:36.360 --> 0:48:39.600
<v Speaker 2>they've got a new first baseman they Matt Moore signed

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.279
<v Speaker 2>signed with the Angels, which I don't think makes much sense,

0:48:42.360 --> 0:48:44.520
<v Speaker 2>but share go do you do you You're gonna get

0:48:44.520 --> 0:48:46.920
<v Speaker 2>your money. Other than that, it's still kind of a

0:48:46.960 --> 0:48:49.719
<v Speaker 2>standstill in free agency these days. There's not and the

0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:51.080
<v Speaker 2>trade routes there's not much going on.

0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:52.320
<v Speaker 3>And it's a combination.

0:48:52.600 --> 0:48:55.600
<v Speaker 1>It is Scott Boris holding up the market and the

0:48:55.680 --> 0:49:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Arison effect is real, not just the Mariners. I think

0:49:01.360 --> 0:49:03.719
<v Speaker 1>the framing of this week was really great around the

0:49:03.760 --> 0:49:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Seattle sports community when it came to talking about how

0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Jerry to Poto attacked this offseason, and I thought Mike

0:49:11.760 --> 0:49:14.520
<v Speaker 1>saw friend of the Pod, brought up a great point

0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:18.120
<v Speaker 1>on his show on Brocken Salk about the keywords that

0:49:18.120 --> 0:49:19.960
<v Speaker 1>stood out when they talked to Jerry this week was

0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:25.360
<v Speaker 1>find a way. And the Mariners, despite the situation, managed

0:49:25.400 --> 0:49:27.480
<v Speaker 1>to find a way to remake their roster and make

0:49:27.480 --> 0:49:28.080
<v Speaker 1>it better than.

0:49:28.000 --> 0:49:29.000
<v Speaker 3>It was last season.

0:49:29.480 --> 0:49:31.600
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of other teams in baseball with similar

0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:34.720
<v Speaker 1>budget restraints have sat on their hands and done nothing

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:37.279
<v Speaker 1>and just said, all right, well we'll just run it back,

0:49:37.880 --> 0:49:41.000
<v Speaker 1>even if they're contending, we'll just run it back. But

0:49:41.040 --> 0:49:43.839
<v Speaker 1>the Mariners didn't. They give fans a little bit more

0:49:43.840 --> 0:49:46.640
<v Speaker 1>of a reason to be optimistic last year. Not the organization,

0:49:47.120 --> 0:49:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the front office. Very clear distinction.

0:49:50.960 --> 0:49:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Correct. Yeah, I talked about it. I put a little

0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:56.600
<v Speaker 2>social media clip out about it. Jerry deserved a ton

0:49:56.800 --> 0:49:59.080
<v Speaker 2>of credit for what he's done. He had hands tied

0:49:59.120 --> 0:50:02.319
<v Speaker 2>behind his back, didn't have much payroll to work with,

0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:05.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't have much help from up above in the ownership group.

0:50:05.640 --> 0:50:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Made it happen anyway, We'll stand by it. This Mariner's

0:50:08.080 --> 0:50:10.520
<v Speaker 2>roster is definitely better than it was at the end

0:50:10.520 --> 0:50:12.720
<v Speaker 2>of twenty three, and the lineup is a step improved.

0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:16.680
<v Speaker 2>That's credit to Jerry. It's a major credit to Jerry.

0:50:17.480 --> 0:50:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to ruthless surprise. Okay, loll do you want

0:50:22.640 --> 0:50:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to read the first ruthless reply. This is now the

0:50:25.120 --> 0:50:28.440
<v Speaker 1>third time we have done this segment. We go through

0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and we dig up some of the best comments from

0:50:31.560 --> 0:50:35.319
<v Speaker 1>our Instagram comment section, our YouTube comments section, and our

0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:36.560
<v Speaker 1>TikTok comments section.

0:50:36.680 --> 0:50:40.400
<v Speaker 3>You bring the heat. You're gonna be featured, Yes you

0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:42.000
<v Speaker 3>are again.

0:50:42.719 --> 0:50:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Fun music that'll be played under this. If you're listening

0:50:45.160 --> 0:50:47.359
<v Speaker 2>on the audio side YouTube, we probably have to leave

0:50:47.400 --> 0:50:50.399
<v Speaker 2>it off, but that's okay. We're gonna read them anyway. Yeah,

0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:55.000
<v Speaker 2>first one. This one comes from TJ doing a TikTok

0:50:55.040 --> 0:50:58.520
<v Speaker 2>comparing Julio's first two seasons to Ronald Acuna's first two seasons.

0:50:59.360 --> 0:51:00.959
<v Speaker 2>TJ put his head in the middle of a couple

0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:03.879
<v Speaker 2>of stats. Some people weren't happy you left as he

0:51:04.120 --> 0:51:07.520
<v Speaker 2>blocked the numbers showing they were supposed to show. But

0:51:08.600 --> 0:51:10.480
<v Speaker 2>we get a comment that has nothing to do with that.

0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:13.359
<v Speaker 2>It says, no one wants to see your ugly ass

0:51:13.440 --> 0:51:15.879
<v Speaker 2>mug today. The next time you do one of these,

0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:17.719
<v Speaker 2>can you put a bag over your head please? You'd

0:51:17.719 --> 0:51:18.920
<v Speaker 2>be doing everybody a real service.

0:51:18.960 --> 0:51:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I need to be more careful where I put

0:51:20.760 --> 0:51:22.879
<v Speaker 1>my face in all of these, otherwise I'm gonna piss

0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:27.600
<v Speaker 1>someone off. I didn't realize face location was that was

0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:31.799
<v Speaker 1>that infuriating. But man, this was one of one of

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a few comments on there that was not too appreciative

0:51:35.320 --> 0:51:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of head placement. But hey, you know what, you gotta

0:51:39.680 --> 0:51:41.799
<v Speaker 1>look at me. You gotta look at me while I

0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:44.120
<v Speaker 1>read off these stats, and the point still stands.

0:51:44.160 --> 0:51:44.480
<v Speaker 3>People.

0:51:46.360 --> 0:51:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Again, it sounds like this guy though, he just doesn't

0:51:48.600 --> 0:51:50.640
<v Speaker 2>want to see your face period. So maybe the next

0:51:50.640 --> 0:51:52.440
<v Speaker 2>time you do this again, do everybody a favor. Just

0:51:52.440 --> 0:51:54.760
<v Speaker 2>grab a brown paper bag and put it over your head.

0:51:54.840 --> 0:51:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Brown paper bag. Or you know, he can find a

0:51:57.120 --> 0:51:58.960
<v Speaker 1>different podcast too. If he doesn't want to watch me,

0:51:59.000 --> 0:52:01.120
<v Speaker 1>that's fine. Or you can just just listen to my voice.

0:52:01.160 --> 0:52:03.160
<v Speaker 1>That's even better. That's a great way to support us.

0:52:04.080 --> 0:52:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Next comment, Lyle, this was around one of our Babe

0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Ruth discussions. This was this the YouTube? Was this the YouTube?

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Comment underneath the sauce when we were talking to Sasato

0:52:18.960 --> 0:52:21.399
<v Speaker 1>the toba. Okay, so we're talking to Topa about Babe

0:52:21.480 --> 0:52:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Ruth and replied, there's ten minutes of Babe Ruth footage

0:52:25.440 --> 0:52:28.360
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube? Are we allergic to Google? Love the show?

0:52:28.520 --> 0:52:32.480
<v Speaker 1>But again, why easily disregard reality? Well, do you want

0:52:32.480 --> 0:52:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to know some reality? There was a wonderful thread on

0:52:36.640 --> 0:52:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Twitter the other day of Babe Ruth clips. And I'm

0:52:39.480 --> 0:52:43.040
<v Speaker 1>sitting there and I'm watching this, watching Babe Ruth play

0:52:43.080 --> 0:52:45.719
<v Speaker 1>and run around and sitting there and thinking, I'm like,

0:52:45.960 --> 0:52:47.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no way this dude was one of the greatest

0:52:47.920 --> 0:52:48.840
<v Speaker 1>players of all time.

0:52:48.960 --> 0:52:49.600
<v Speaker 3>There's no way.

0:52:50.000 --> 0:52:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Look at him run You're telling me this man was

0:52:53.080 --> 0:52:54.560
<v Speaker 1>great at defense in the outfield.

0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:56.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it.

0:52:58.200 --> 0:53:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Also, if people are about these Mariners relievers cooking up

0:53:01.960 --> 0:53:06.040
<v Speaker 2>this conspiracy, guys, this is like the most harmless conspiracy

0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:08.200
<v Speaker 2>you can possibly draw up, or people really getting mad

0:53:08.239 --> 0:53:11.000
<v Speaker 2>about this. It's just supposed to be funny or honestly,

0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I think it's fun. I think it's a fun topic

0:53:12.760 --> 0:53:14.840
<v Speaker 2>to bring up. But you never know what the Internet

0:53:14.880 --> 0:53:17.160
<v Speaker 2>will do to people. It'll piss somebody off in some

0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:20.120
<v Speaker 2>way when you least expect it.

0:53:20.400 --> 0:53:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was anybody here knows Babe Ruth like

0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:27.239
<v Speaker 1>you're like a family member of his, defending.

0:53:26.800 --> 0:53:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Him, like you don't own him, owe him anything.

0:53:30.120 --> 0:53:35.120
<v Speaker 2>He's already famous. The best part about that thread was

0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:38.320
<v Speaker 2>we quote tweeted it saying, don't show this to anybody

0:53:38.320 --> 0:53:41.919
<v Speaker 2>in the Mariner's bullpen, and then Sauce replied does He's like, well,

0:53:42.040 --> 0:53:43.920
<v Speaker 2>did you have been to notice that what he's pitching

0:53:44.000 --> 0:53:48.319
<v Speaker 2>you can't see his face, makes you think, man, man

0:53:48.360 --> 0:53:51.520
<v Speaker 2>double down. He's standing firm on his take, and I

0:53:51.560 --> 0:53:56.600
<v Speaker 2>respect it, Sauce, I do. Oh Man, Okay, you did

0:53:56.600 --> 0:54:00.759
<v Speaker 2>another TikTok recently. Actually maybe it's the accunon one.

0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:54:01.120 --> 0:54:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Regardless, you did a TikTok and we get to reply

0:54:04.239 --> 0:54:08.120
<v Speaker 2>saying I like this guy commentating more so, look at

0:54:08.120 --> 0:54:10.920
<v Speaker 2>that teach. You're a fan favorite. Now our podcast is

0:54:10.920 --> 0:54:13.280
<v Speaker 2>a fan for you are a fan paper. I, however,

0:54:13.800 --> 0:54:15.000
<v Speaker 2>have been sent to the doghouse.

0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're in the hot seat. What is your response

0:54:18.000 --> 0:54:18.279
<v Speaker 3>to this?

0:54:20.680 --> 0:54:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Blame my family roots? I guess I don't know. I

0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:27.200
<v Speaker 2>can't control how I sound. This is my voice. My

0:54:27.280 --> 0:54:28.160
<v Speaker 2>voice is my voice.

0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, I have a comment that will actually make

0:54:31.640 --> 0:54:32.479
<v Speaker 3>you feel much better.

0:54:32.520 --> 0:54:36.560
<v Speaker 1>The comment that we have right after that is a

0:54:36.600 --> 0:54:39.360
<v Speaker 1>compliment to both of our skills and our thought making

0:54:39.480 --> 0:54:43.839
<v Speaker 1>and our in our brainstorming when it comes to generating

0:54:44.080 --> 0:54:46.920
<v Speaker 1>content day to day and continuing throughout the off season

0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:51.239
<v Speaker 1>to have fresh engaging content for our listeners and our

0:54:51.320 --> 0:54:56.200
<v Speaker 1>followers to watch, engage like, et cetera. Dislike, well, however

0:54:56.239 --> 0:54:59.800
<v Speaker 1>they want to engage it. Well, this person definitely disliked it.

0:55:00.000 --> 0:55:03.840
<v Speaker 1>While someone said quote, maybe the worst TikTok I have

0:55:04.040 --> 0:55:07.880
<v Speaker 1>ever seen that gratulations.

0:55:08.239 --> 0:55:10.520
<v Speaker 2>That's shortened to the point right there, no beating around

0:55:10.600 --> 0:55:13.680
<v Speaker 2>the bush, no long explanations, just bam, hit it right.

0:55:13.960 --> 0:55:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the worst TikTok I've ever seen. I'll tell you what.

0:55:17.560 --> 0:55:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you why I'll tell you exactly why that's false.

0:55:21.760 --> 0:55:24.360
<v Speaker 2>It didn't have anything to do with baby Gronk. Therefore

0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:26.479
<v Speaker 2>it is not the worst TikTok you've ever seen.

0:55:27.719 --> 0:55:29.600
<v Speaker 3>That's a good point.

0:55:31.120 --> 0:55:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, next one, we got some short and sweet replies

0:55:34.719 --> 0:55:38.399

<v Speaker 3>How about that haters pay the bill more.

0:56:49.600 --> 0:56:52.839
<v Speaker 1>In fact, haters engage more than people who like us

0:56:52.880 --> 0:56:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to It's great.

0:56:54.840 --> 0:56:55.399
<v Speaker 3>They like it.

0:56:55.880 --> 0:56:58.200
<v Speaker 2>If you don't have haters, you don't have fans.

0:56:57.920 --> 0:57:00.720
<v Speaker 1>That's true. If you don't have haters, you're doing something wrong.

0:57:01.960 --> 0:57:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Next one, this one comes from our TikTok comments. I

0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:09.480
<v Speaker 1>swear to God, you guys say shit. That is, you

0:57:09.520 --> 0:57:11.560
<v Speaker 1>guys say shit just to say shit.

0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:12.520
<v Speaker 3>Quote.

0:57:12.719 --> 0:57:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Take his contract. You can have him, no shit, No

0:57:16.520 --> 0:57:19.360
<v Speaker 1>one wants it. You were dumb enough to take him.

0:57:19.920 --> 0:57:23.320
<v Speaker 1>This was regarding Anthony desk Lefani, who is now a

0:57:23.360 --> 0:57:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota twin because someone else took him.

0:57:26.280 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 2>We talked about getting Deskofani's contract off the books if

0:57:29.880 --> 0:57:32.160
<v Speaker 2>they were to make other moves. We said, somebody can

0:57:32.200 --> 0:57:34.240
<v Speaker 2>just take his money and that'll be the end of it.

0:57:34.280 --> 0:57:36.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to get much back. We were told

0:57:36.440 --> 0:57:39.240
<v Speaker 2>that's a stupid idea. Well, now here we sit, seems

0:57:39.240 --> 0:57:42.280
<v Speaker 2>like somebody else kind of wanted Anthony Deskofani. That's just me.

0:57:42.800 --> 0:57:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Twins took him out of pity,

0:57:45.040 --> 0:57:45.960
<v Speaker 2>just my two cents.

0:57:46.920 --> 0:57:50.280
<v Speaker 1>This guy was going more along the lines of like, hahaha, losers,

0:57:50.320 --> 0:57:53.200
<v Speaker 1>you're stuck with that insurmountable twelve million dollars.

0:57:53.720 --> 0:57:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, Jerry's laughing in your face.

0:57:55.120 --> 0:57:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Now there is no more twelve million dollars of Anthony

0:57:57.720 --> 0:58:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Deskofani on this roster, not anymore, man.

0:58:02.120 --> 0:58:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that comment was in TikTok's review filter.

0:58:08.120 --> 0:58:11.120
<v Speaker 2>It got filtered, saying maybe it was a little too mean,

0:58:11.240 --> 0:58:13.240
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I think we can take it though, TikTok,

0:58:13.400 --> 0:58:16.120
<v Speaker 2>we can take it on the chest. And speaking of that,

0:58:16.840 --> 0:58:19.480
<v Speaker 2>this guy doubled down because a couple days later we

0:58:19.560 --> 0:58:22.360
<v Speaker 2>got a similar reply. It was also filtered. It says,

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:26.200
<v Speaker 2>is there anyone that you don't think is a final piece?

0:58:27.440 --> 0:58:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Let me preface this. This was another piece of content

0:58:30.840 --> 0:58:33.160
<v Speaker 2>we did talking about maybe and a rise of Mayben

0:58:33.200 --> 0:58:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Blake snell about what else can the Mariners do? So

0:58:36.200 --> 0:58:38.640
<v Speaker 2>he says is there anyone that you don't think is

0:58:38.680 --> 0:58:41.160
<v Speaker 2>a final piece? Question mark? This show is a joke

0:58:41.320 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 2>because you just throw shit out. Buddy, I've got some

0:58:44.400 --> 0:58:48.640
<v Speaker 2>news for you. Welcome to the MLB off season. This

0:58:48.720 --> 0:58:49.760
<v Speaker 2>is what goes down.

0:58:51.120 --> 0:58:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I think this dude, he might have did he leave

0:58:54.480 --> 0:58:57.440
<v Speaker 1>two comments on the same one because these comments are

0:58:57.440 --> 0:59:00.600
<v Speaker 1>from the exact same day. He must have been in

0:59:00.600 --> 0:59:04.440
<v Speaker 1>a bad mood. We must have pissed him off and

0:59:04.480 --> 0:59:06.680
<v Speaker 1>he was like, all right, I'm going in.

0:59:08.560 --> 0:59:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's two separate pieces of content, but it's

0:59:11.680 --> 0:59:14.160
<v Speaker 2>on the same day. That means he's scrolling through. Well,

0:59:14.160 --> 0:59:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't like this one. Let's type of reply. Well,

0:59:16.000 --> 0:59:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't like this one. Let's type something out. Yeah's

0:59:18.520 --> 0:59:20.680
<v Speaker 2>he had some anger to get out. It seems like

0:59:20.720 --> 0:59:22.880
<v Speaker 2>some he had some real, real anger to get out.

0:59:24.040 --> 0:59:26.400
<v Speaker 3>We'll take all the haters we can get. Thank you, sir.

0:59:26.920 --> 0:59:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I gotta read this last one. You gotta let me read.

0:59:29.640 --> 0:59:31.280
<v Speaker 3>This last one. Okay, yeah, you could do it.

0:59:31.760 --> 0:59:35.120
<v Speaker 2>This one I think is my favorite. I don't recommend

0:59:35.240 --> 0:59:38.680
<v Speaker 2>anybody really goes on to Reddit because Reddit is probably

0:59:39.000 --> 0:59:41.880
<v Speaker 2>worse in terms of their replies than almost any other

0:59:42.000 --> 0:59:44.160
<v Speaker 2>social media feed. If you even want to call it that.

0:59:44.560 --> 0:59:46.840
<v Speaker 2>But if you're looking for stuff like this that uses

0:59:46.840 --> 0:59:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the Ruthless Replies to use a to use in our

0:59:50.000 --> 0:59:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Ruthless Replies portion of the show, then Reddit is a

0:59:54.240 --> 0:59:56.960
<v Speaker 2>perfect spot to do that. We did an interview with

0:59:57.000 --> 0:59:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Don Canzone a few weeks ago. Some of you may

0:59:59.000 --> 1:00:01.760
<v Speaker 2>know that the link to it was posted on Reddit.

1:00:01.840 --> 1:00:04.920
<v Speaker 2>It just says dom Canzone on the Marine Layer Podcast.

1:00:05.000 --> 1:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>In case any Mariners fans in that Mariner's threat of

1:00:07.440 --> 1:00:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Reddit wanted to check it out, there is a reply

1:00:10.960 --> 1:00:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I love this one. I don't know why there's a

1:00:13.480 --> 1:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>reply that says I'd love to see a Dom interview,

1:00:16.600 --> 1:00:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Just not with these yahoos. They're one of the worst

1:00:19.360 --> 1:00:23.240
<v Speaker 2>MS related YouTube garbage that perpetuates so much nonsense. These

1:00:23.280 --> 1:00:25.560
<v Speaker 2>guys were big on the Otani is going to be

1:00:25.560 --> 1:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>a Mariner and Helmick is a future All Star trains.

1:00:29.240 --> 1:00:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Seven hundred million dollars from LA and nine hundred mlb

1:00:32.600 --> 1:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>of bats of evidence tell me they're not worth listening to.

1:00:36.880 --> 1:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I have breaking news. TJ Marine Layer Podcast officially canceled.

1:00:41.400 --> 1:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Reasoning wanting the greatest player to ever play, Wanting the

1:00:45.720 --> 1:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>greatest player to ever play on their favorite baseball team.

1:00:49.920 --> 1:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess if you're optimistic, that automatically means you're canceled.

1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:55.280
<v Speaker 3>We're not allowed to hope good things.

1:00:56.320 --> 1:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>You know what, showey Otani should have been a Texas Ranger,

1:01:00.200 --> 1:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>should have signed a twenty year, one billion, four hundred

1:01:04.440 --> 1:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>million dollar contract with the Texas Rangers. Oh and then

1:01:08.200 --> 1:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>his kids, who also happened to be two way sensations,

1:01:11.520 --> 1:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>are automatically guaranteed to be Texas Rangers for the entire

1:01:15.960 --> 1:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the entire of their professional playing careers as well.

1:01:20.200 --> 1:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh and then, by the way.

1:01:21.520 --> 1:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>The Mariners are never allowed to win a World Series ever.

1:01:25.000 --> 1:01:28.320
<v Speaker 3>It's written in the mob bylaws. Now, maybe that person

1:01:28.320 --> 1:01:29.200
<v Speaker 3>will listen to us.

1:01:30.080 --> 1:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Actually, it's funny you say that. I just got a

1:01:32.040 --> 1:01:34.919
<v Speaker 2>text from this dude. He says, you guys, all right,

1:01:39.000 --> 1:01:41.800
<v Speaker 2>he heard your negativity teach. He could hear it through

1:01:41.840 --> 1:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>the airwaves.

1:01:42.640 --> 1:01:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, I wanted to be more like everybody else.

1:01:45.520 --> 1:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Well you've succeeded. Man. I love doing this segment again.

1:01:49.360 --> 1:01:51.080
<v Speaker 2>We say it at the end of each of these.

1:01:51.480 --> 1:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>It's all in good fun and it's basically our way

1:01:53.960 --> 1:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>of reminding people. If you sign up to do something

1:01:56.520 --> 1:02:00.160
<v Speaker 2>like this podcast. Social media putting yourselves out there. There's

1:02:00.160 --> 1:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>always gonna be people like this that respond with negative thoughts.

1:02:04.400 --> 1:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>The best thing you can do is truly laugh it off,

1:02:06.800 --> 1:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>because number one, it probably says more about the people

1:02:10.040 --> 1:02:11.919
<v Speaker 2>replying than it does about you. If there's actually people

1:02:11.920 --> 1:02:13.880
<v Speaker 2>out there that don't like you, most of them aren't

1:02:13.880 --> 1:02:15.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna reply. They'll just be like, well, I won't listen.

1:02:16.200 --> 1:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>But even more so than that, I think it's just

1:02:19.560 --> 1:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>fun for us to laugh at because, you know what,

1:02:22.960 --> 1:02:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I genuinely enjoy seeing some of these. Sometimes some people

1:02:25.680 --> 1:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>don't like reading comments. Usually I think we're pretty good

1:02:28.120 --> 1:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>about laughing them off, so I enjoy it.

1:02:30.120 --> 1:02:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:02:30.600 --> 1:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>To be honest, like, we've done so much of this

1:02:33.320 --> 1:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and gotten so many comments that it's it's more entertaining

1:02:37.080 --> 1:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>than anything for me. It's just like you can't you

1:02:41.360 --> 1:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>can't let what other people think about you affect the

1:02:44.240 --> 1:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>way you operate. So when stuff like this comes up,

1:02:47.040 --> 1:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it's funny and it again all in good fun.

1:02:49.840 --> 1:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And if you want to leave us something good in

1:02:51.840 --> 1:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the comments section, beware, I caution you because you are

1:02:55.720 --> 1:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up on this segment.

1:02:57.920 --> 1:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>We give people the warning every month. You want to

1:02:59.840 --> 1:03:02.760
<v Speaker 2>be featured on this podcast, leave us an awful reply

1:03:02.960 --> 1:03:06.640
<v Speaker 2>saying how terrible we are at doing sports podcasting, and

1:03:06.680 --> 1:03:09.000
<v Speaker 2>you're probably gonna end up on this portion of the show.

1:03:09.120 --> 1:03:11.600
<v Speaker 2>So you can always send us a question for a

1:03:11.600 --> 1:03:13.320
<v Speaker 2>mail bag too if you want to be brought up

1:03:13.360 --> 1:03:15.480
<v Speaker 2>in a much nicer light. But if you just want

1:03:15.480 --> 1:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>to guarantee you your spot being on or your question

1:03:18.440 --> 1:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>being on this tod all you have to do is

1:03:21.200 --> 1:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>tell us how awful we are and we'll probably read it. So, yeah,

1:03:26.000 --> 1:03:28.920
<v Speaker 2>that's ruthless replies. Third one. We're going to keep doing

1:03:28.920 --> 1:03:31.240
