<v Speaker 2>We are back in Seattle. Thank goodness. That was a

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of travel. Doug, how are we feeling?

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:45.199
<v Speaker 1>We're pretty good. Well, I'm not inspired after another weekend

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>of Mariners baseball, but like health wise good, How are

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you feeling?

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm great. I've been back since Wednesday.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>That's not you, No, that's true. I did some extra

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>travel because I had a wedding to be at this weekend,

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>and then I flew home just a little while ago.

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>As we're sitting here recording, I gotta tell you, people

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>want to start off this podcast with a bang. Boy,

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Do I have a flight story? Are you ready?

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I think so, so.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I tell people to buckle out. Well you can be

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:19.559
<v Speaker 1>the judge.

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>But well you don't like to buckle up on planes.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right. Okay, at least get with me on this.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I know we talked about the whole what is the

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.679
<v Speaker 1>point of a seatbelt on a plane debate a couple

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>episodes ago. How about this? Why do they leave the

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>seat belt sign on after you've landed and like you're

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>taxiing on the tarmac at five miles an hour? That's crazy.

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 2>In case someone crashes into you. I don't know, man,

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>it's precautionary. You're moving like five miles an hour. I'm

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>just saying it's precautionary.

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, I am at opa.

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Why do they have the glass up on the windows

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>when you're going five miles an hour?

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, well, that's stuck there. You can't remove a window.

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>You can remove I'm joking. Anyway, I'm at O'Hare. I'm

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to fly back to Seattle. And who do

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>I see at the gate? Or he was coming out

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of one of the restaurants or something at the gate

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to fly back to Seattle. Kevin fucking Mather. Dude,

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>this guy I'm not kidding. And then he was too

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>rows ahead of me on the flight. I was right

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>at the start of coach. He's obviously sitting in first class.

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>He's right there. Sometimes every now and then I think

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to myself, what was like I do these days? I

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>honestly wondered if he was still in Seattle. I guess

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>he is.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>This begs the question, why didn't you go up and

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 2>talk to him?

0:03:55.320 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I know, honestly, as especially kids, especially considering he's not

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a member of the franchise anymore and a member of

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the organization, there's absolutely nothing he could do. There really

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>was a part of me that wanted to go up

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to him and just say, hey, man, like this team's

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>miserable to watch.

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he would say something about the Mariners. I mean,

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>the dude was in charge of the Mariners for how long,

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 2>like a decent bit of time, And if he didn't

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>want to talk to you, Lyle, he would have said, no,

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>nice to meet you.

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I was like, all right, yeah, that's it, Okay, I

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 1>will say maybe it's me overthinking, maybe it's not. But

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>there was a point where I had to go use

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom and I actually passed him walking back to

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>my seat midflight, and he did like a double take up.

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>He kind of looked once up just to see who

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>was walking by, and then he goes he looks again,

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, oh, you know the meme of the

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>guy that's doing the eye kind of the side eye,

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and it says does he know? It made me wonder

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>does he know? Does he know the marine layer pod.

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 2>This again begs the question of why you did not

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 2>go up and talk to him?

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I probably should have.

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>People can drop in the comments if I made the

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>right choice just ignoring him, or if I really should

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>have gone up and said something to him. But here's

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the thing, what are we saying to this guy? I

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>joke to you half jokingly, it actually would have been

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>a hilarious thing to pull off, especially since again he's

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>not a part of the organization anymore. You're a hat guy.

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>You pack hats. I don't if I had a hat,

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>what if I just stuck it out to him and said,

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>hat in hand, baby.

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, then I don't think you would have talked to you.

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 2>But what would he just like walked up and said, hey, man,

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I recognize you for your time with the Mariners. How

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>do you think you're playing how do you think they're

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>playing nowadays?

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Like that's it. But we're like treating this guy cordially.

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a man who was kicked out

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>of the organization for saying things like Julio's English sucks

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and we manipulate service time and we don't want to

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>pay for Ewa Kuma's translator.

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but like, what's the goal the goal? If the

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>goal is having a conversation, you need to be conversational,

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>are we If you're going to go to him and

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 2>make a joke, then like then you get your joke off,

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>but you don't actually get to talk to him.

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>But what conversation would you have with this guy? I

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Man, you were the one there at the gate,

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I know. And if I was gonna say there, there

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>are some great bullshitters in the world.

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Lyle where they will, they will, they will talk to.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Anybody who's who's who's a good bullshitter?

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Anybody. There are lots of them out there.

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Dude. It's not like again, it's not like somebody that

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>retired out of the organization and is just now no

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>longer working there. But left on positive terms. This guy, like,

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>we know why he's not there anymore, which is why

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like I could have a real conversation

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>with him. If I was gonna go up to him

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>at this point, you would have to get some joke off.

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely if I was going to talk to it

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 1>all would have done something like the hat in hand thing.

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 1>And for context, for those who don't remember, during that

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>infamous zoom call with the Rotary Club, he said that

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.359
<v Speaker 1>they believe free agents were going to come hat in

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>hand to them begging for contracts.

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Did they come hat in hand?

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>No? No, I mean they don't.

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 2>They maybe just Robbie Ray, but that's it.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I think no. Well, because they paid Robby Ray real money.

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 1>They didn't offer most of those guys real money.

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I had not seen his face since that Rotary

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Club call, So when you send it to me, it

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>did take me like a couple minutes of like I

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 2>really zoomed in on his face and I'm like, who

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 2>is this? It's Chicago. It's like, is he sending me

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.679
<v Speaker 2>a pick of like Abe Toro getting on a flight

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 2>back to Seattle with him? That's just undercover, Like, no,

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 2>that's not Oh, yeah.

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 2>For a second, I thought you were trying to send

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 2>me Chris Larson. But I was like, from everything I know,

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 2>like Chris Larsen usually dresses, Uh, what's a good way

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>to describe how Chris Larson dresses. As someone who's never

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>physically seen Chris Larsen in person, he doesn't usually dress

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.679
<v Speaker 2>up that much. And no, this guy looks too well dressed.

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>You would know Chris Larson dresses like he has no

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>money rather than dressing like a billionaire.

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Right. But I was like, no, this guy looks a

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>little bit sharper. I was like, oh, yeah, yep, that's

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Mather.

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Yea, that is Kevin good lord. I could not believe

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that shit. When I saw it on here on Sunday

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>flying back, I was like, there's no way that's who

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it is. There's no way.

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>And it was you could ask him what he was

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 2>doing in Chicago.

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Again, Are we having a real conversation with this dude?

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Like? It just I guess it just depends what you

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.319
<v Speaker 2>want of it. I told you, at the very least

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 2>you need to go get a photo with him.

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>That Okay, Now that would have been hilarious. And I

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.839
<v Speaker 1>do a really cheesy, dumb smile. It's like, hey, man,

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.439
<v Speaker 1>can we think of selfie like that'd be awesome. Now,

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>imagine the numbers that would do if that was put

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>out onto the Internet of me just like just there, dude,

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that would have that would have popped off Mariner's Twitter,

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that.

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Do you ever think of what would have happened if

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Mather never got on that rotary call? Where the

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Mariners would be today?

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, probably not in a better spot. It really

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>is amazing. It really is amazing that guy was the

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>president of the team for as long as he was,

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>because we don't have to get into the whole history

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 1>and we are going to talk about the Mariners and

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Giants here in a minute. But you know, there's like

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>other things he was talked about doing in his time

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that were that were not good, A real problem. Yeah,

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's incredible. I don't know what the hell this

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>guy's doing now. I mean, he clearly has money. I

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>was trying to almost like watch what the hell he

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 1>was doing on his flight, just to do some big

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>jay journalism and report back to the people. He was

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>like doing the the uh sudoku for a while and

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>he had a book and then he uh, I mean,

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, he was on his phone for a

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>little while, but yeah, he was doing Oh he was

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>reading the Chicago Tribune, like straight up, like reading the newspaper.

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, all right, Like he's got the whole

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>freaking newspaper like folded out on the flight. It's like,

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 1>it's probably an online article for this.

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 2>This is a big j journalist right there.

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Listen, we report to the people. Man, We're for the people.

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>This is this is what you don't get on other outlets.

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>A five years later, where in the world is Kevin

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Mather report?

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'd almost forgotten about Kevin Mather until that

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 2>picture popped up on my phone today. Like he's just

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>not someone that enters my mind very much these days,

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 2>given that he's been essentially absent from the public eye

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 2>ever since that call. Well, the Mariners at one press

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>conference where they announced he had they had mutually part

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 2>way parted ways, and then all of a sudden, he's gone.

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Well he returned in a big way today just to

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 1>get on the marine layer pod. Five years later.

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 2>You were you were in the right place at the

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>right time, bog Me. It was always destiny. You had

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to go to this wedding so we could get this

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>piece of content.

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Dude, I just like couldn't believe my eyes when I

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>saw that today. I was just like, you gotta be kidding.

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.679
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what is this guy? Like again, I

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know what he's doing in Chicago, but yeah, like

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I was, I mean, like you, it's he's not on

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>my mind every day. But when I saw him, I

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, good lord.

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, of course, last thing before we actually

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>talk about baseball, so you did have to make a

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 2>best man speech at this wedding. Mm hmm. I'm curious

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 2>how many times were the Mariners mentioned and how many

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 2>times were Dan Wilson mentioned.

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, it took a lot of strength and a

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of will and a lot of effort, but slightly, like,

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>just ever so slightly. I made sure to not make

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>it about me in that moment and start just rattling

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>off Dan Wilson this and that to a whole wedding

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>crowd of one hundred plus people about like, it's like,

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, what can't stand watching manage games? Dan Wilson.

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like I didn't quite do that. I had some

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.079
<v Speaker 1>rough draft jokes in there about three months ago about them,

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.559
<v Speaker 1>and they kind of got shut down. So I was like, well,

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>for the sake of the people, for the sake of

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>a wedding that's not mine, I'm just gonna sit there

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and not make it about me. Now, if I was

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna one day be giving a speech at my own

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 1>hypothetical wedding, would I sit there and say to everybody

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.199
<v Speaker 1>that showed up, I'm so appreciative of you. I'm so appreciative.

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I can't even talk. It's like long

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>day travel minute. I like, am so appreciative of all

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of you guys coming here today and showing up. I

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>know you guys wouldn't miss any of it, just like

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>George Springer's oh one pitch from Edward Bizaro that he

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.200
<v Speaker 1>crushed into oblivion because Dan Wilson decided it was time

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>for Edward Bizarro to pitch. If I'm giving my own

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>speech at my own wedding one day, thanking all the

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.559
<v Speaker 1>people coming, I mean, then I'm ripping off any jokes

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I want about that.

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, what's that I said? It would be your wedding.

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately, since the wedding was not mine, I tried to

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 1>not make it about me, So I didn't. Now that

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean he wasn't. That doesn't mean he wasn't brought

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 1>up in other points of the weekend when I wasn't

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>on the mic talking, but just not during the speech.

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh he was brought up throughout the rest of the

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>weekend too with people.

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, that that I know. I mean, it's really

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 2>hard to avoid. Were the Mariners mentioned in the speech?

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 1>So in the in the stuff I wrote out, because

0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I had a bunch of different ideas planned when I

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>started to write out what I thought I wanted to say,

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>but then I tried to cut it down. It's funny

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for his much time as I've spent with my friend John,

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>who you also know watching the Mariners over the course

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>of our lives, they didn't get brought up in the speech.

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean they could have, and I like in the

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 1>stuff I wrote out, I had lines prepared about it,

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>but they did want the speeches to be relatively short,

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and there was other things I wanted to hit on.

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>So there wasn't a ton of Mariner stuff mentioned. It

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>was written out, just not mentioned.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, I thought you'd get it in

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>there at like at least.

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Once I thought about it. I don't know, it flowed

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>a little better without it. Maybe it was just better

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 1>they were out of sight, out of mind for such

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a happy occasion.

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you did say you were going to take a

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>weekend off from the Mariners, So I guess that would

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 2>also include not verbally mentioning them at all in a

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 2>public setting.

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Again, out of sight, out of mind. They weren't out

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of mind, but out of sight.

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I hate to tell you Low, your weekend's over.

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 2>We got to talk about the Mariners. But before that,

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 2>let's pause here for an ad.

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's compare two players. They're making similar contracts, but you

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>have to pick one guy to be in your lineup.

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Player one hit three hundred. He had an eight forty

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 1>ops and a one forty one WRC plus, forty one

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>percent better than the league average. Player two hit one

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>eighty five. He had a five to sixty three ops

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and a sixty three WRC plus. So who would you pick?

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>The clear answers? Player A right, because player A is

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five dominant canzone and player B is twenty

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. Abraham Toro, Well, you can apply that same

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Here's how I would summarize this weekend series against the

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco Giants slow for you being out of town.

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 2>The Mariners didn't really play that much better than they

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>had played on the road in Florida or at any

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>o their low points of the season. I think the

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 2>only difference this weekend for the Mariners was they hit

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 2>like three timely home runs and that alone won them

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>this series.

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, none bigger than Cole Young's on Saturday, right,

0:16:54.560 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 1>because they had played sixteen truly miserable innings of baseball

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>against the Giants before that Cole Young homer.

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh, it was awful. The vibes are bad. The

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>vibes were so bad. I was literally sitting on this

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.239
<v Speaker 2>on this clip. I was unsure if I was going

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 2>to use it or not, So if you follow me

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter, I tweeted out the clip of Dan Wilson

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about the team's identity in the second half, which

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I can get to here in a second. Like the

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 2>answer Dan gave was just it was awful. He didn't

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 2>he literally didn't answer the question, didn't give what the

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 2>identity of the team was. And like as I'm as,

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm sitting there watching this team, like I'm like, all right,

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess I just have to have to publish this

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 2>clip because I didn't publish it on Friday when he

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 2>said it, and on Saturday, I'm like, all right, it's

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 2>not really that relevant right now. But as they're getting

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 2>shut out into the seventh inning of Saturday, about to

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:48.640
<v Speaker 2>lose a series to an atrocious Giants team that is

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 2>that they're just awful. The Giants, They're terrible, They're so dysfunctional.

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 2>As bad as you think the Mariners are, the Giants

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.159
<v Speaker 2>are worse, and the Mariners are about to lose a

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 2>series to them. So I'm like, all right, I gotta

0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 2>rip it. So I we out this Dan clip and

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I swear to God. Not three minutes later, Cole Young

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>hits that three run home run.

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, maybe you dink or maybe you reverse jinks it.

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I think I did, I really think I did? I

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>have to play this Dan answer man, I literally I

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 2>can't even fathom how Like it just doesn't make sense.

0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.680
<v Speaker 2>So some of these, some of these questions that Dan

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 2>gets asked, I feel like there should just be like

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.200
<v Speaker 2>super easy answers that you don't have to be very

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 2>specific with, that you don't need to you don't need

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 2>to call anyone out for doing And the answer still

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 2>is just it just baffling to me. Just like, listen

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.359
<v Speaker 2>to this. So he's he's being asked right here what

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 2>the he wants the identity of the team to be

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 2>in the second half.

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 4>The identity is is uh, you know, it's.

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 1>A big part of what we talked about in such

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 1>means we do.

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 4>I think that I have seen a lot of the

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 4>things that we talked about as a team being pretty

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 4>and they're coming ready to play, and you're coming ready to play.

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 3>That's what That's what our guys will do and get

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:09.080
<v Speaker 3>that will continue to do, and that's why it's exciting

0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 3>as we get ready to park out the second half or.

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Some dude, what is he even talking about?

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.639
<v Speaker 2>So he listed his identity for the team in the

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 2>second half is showing up Brady to play and being gritty,

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 2>which doesn't there's nothing measurable for that. How about what's

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 2>here's an answer? More consist hitting more consistently and playing

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:34.160
<v Speaker 2>cleaner defense.

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>God forbid, there's actual details given. We need to hit

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.760
<v Speaker 1>better against left handed pitching. By the way, Jerry Depoto

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>said that exact thing in a Seattle Times article just

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a few days ago, they need to be better against

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>left handed pitching, Like, why can't you say the same thing.

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.959
<v Speaker 2>Justin Holland Are twenty minutes before that said, injuries are

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.119
<v Speaker 2>not an excuse for a lineup not performing. We just

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:55.880
<v Speaker 2>need to hit better.

0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Like there's just we've said it a million times and

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 1>we continue to beat a dead horse because it's nothing.

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Because this never changes with his answers. But why is

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it so hard to give some transparent answers without throwing

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:13.640
<v Speaker 1>your team or players under the bus. Almost every other

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>manager across the league does exactly that.

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:22.399
<v Speaker 2>That's a great question. But that clip might have won

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 2>the Maritors the series, asle so.

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Cole Young had himself a really nice offensive weekend. At

0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:30.760
<v Speaker 1>least that's a positive he really did.

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 2>The lineup on Sunday was like one I was not expecting.

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:38.680
<v Speaker 2>They hit Cole Young third. I'm sorry Saturday Sunday today

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 2>when we're recording this, and he still hits a clutch

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.440
<v Speaker 2>home run even though it was facing Robbie Ray, a

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 2>lefty and co Young gets lefties. His year has not

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 2>been great, but it worked kind of.

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean he well, no, we homered off Web on

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Saturday but yeah.

0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.719
<v Speaker 2>He homered off Web and they homed off a reliever today, right, right, right.

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:02.919
<v Speaker 2>I just thought that the construction of it was funky,

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 2>but again it did end up working out.

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, because he was hitting the head of Randy

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>right he was. Yeah, yeah, that's a little odd.

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 4>It is.

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 2>It is a little bit odd. But the thing, even

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.680
<v Speaker 2>with Cole's two home runs, it's not like he played

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 2>the cleanest weekend of all time.

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>On Saturday.

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Again, I know you weren't watching the game because because

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 2>you were busy. Cole made two errors that just made

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:28.199
<v Speaker 2>me scratch my head, which again got people like into

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 2>their like sort of like rage mode. After this team

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 2>hadn't scored in the first sixteen innings of the second half,

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 2>and on top of that, they were having some sloppy defense.

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh dude, Rayley, bobble the ball in center field that'll

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:41.640
<v Speaker 2>directly allow to run to score.

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 1>It was.

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>It was atrocious. It was so so bad without that

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Cole Young home run. I mean, the people would have

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 2>taken their pitchforks out already two games into the second half.

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:53.480
<v Speaker 2>It was like it was that bad. Cole Young was

0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 2>like going to his left I think it was in

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the third inning from his position at second base fields

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:02.119
<v Speaker 2>off to his side, gets the like then he doesn't

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>really set his feet and he tries to like open

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.800
<v Speaker 2>torso throw to first and he throws it like ten

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 2>feet wide of Josh Naylor. And that also that was

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 2>right before Rayley bobbled the ball in center field.

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:18.479
<v Speaker 1>So do this for me, because again, I didn't get

0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>to watch a ton this weekend having other obligations and

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 1>other plans being out of town. But I certainly know

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.920
<v Speaker 1>just being online with it on Friday night after the game,

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you said the vibes were bad. People were furious after

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Friday night's loss. What would you describe the vibe ads,

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>whether it's just people online, people around the ballpark? Like,

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>what were people feeling on Friday when they lost?

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Terrible? They just got run out of their own building

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 2>in the first game of the second half by a

0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 2>terrible team and an advantageous pitching matchup of Bryce Miller

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 2>versus was that Landen Rup? Yeah, and I think they

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:57.639
<v Speaker 2>got ran out of the building.

0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, isn't it said up?

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Uh? But anyways, it's just so easy to make

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the joke of oh, it looks like some of the

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Mariners are still on the beach, and again, it doesn't

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to throw Cole Young under the bus

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 2>here because it's not his fault and he was the

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>best player for the Mariners series this weekend. But I mean,

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 2>he was on the radio with shaneon pregame for Saturday's

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:24.119
<v Speaker 2>game and he he you know what, you know what

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Cole Young did and his time off Stayton Tampa went

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:29.719
<v Speaker 2>on the beach like it just it's hard to get

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:30.640
<v Speaker 2>around that joke.

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't think you can knock guys for taking

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a vacation during All Star Wars.

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm not, but like, it's really easy to make that

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.920
<v Speaker 2>joke when the team plays their first game on Friday

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 2>and gets boat raced by a terrible team. That when

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 2>when the team already has focus issues throughout the season.

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Well that's a different story. Sure, yeah, yeah, could the

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 1>joke be very easily made. Sure, let's here, let's phrase

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it like this. We know other people will make the joke,

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.119
<v Speaker 1>so let's just be the first to get out in

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:03.640
<v Speaker 1>front of it and say, after Friday's loss, the Mariners

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 1>have not traveled back from the beach. No, they had

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>not since Again, since other people will make the joke.

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:11.639
<v Speaker 1>We'll just get out ahead of it and say it first.

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So the vibes on Friday were pretty atrocious, like

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 2>you just and even to Dan Wilson's identity, the one

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.399
<v Speaker 2>thing he said with the identity, I want guys showing

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 2>up ready to play. And then they just got hammered

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 2>on Friday, So.

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I think great. So I think the moral of this

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 1>series win from the weekend is the Mariners uninspiringly won

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a series against a really bad team, and can they

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 1>possibly follow it up with a second series win against

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 1>another last place team and the Reds this week TVD.

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 1>They have not turned a corner yet, that's for sure.

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 2>No. Again, in summary, they didn't play that much better.

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.960
<v Speaker 2>They just hit some timely home runs, which maybe that

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 2>could be the difference between this team winning the division

0:24:56.400 --> 0:25:00.080
<v Speaker 2>or not, because this division still just stinks. But if

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>the Mariners hit timely home runs they could kind of

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:03.760
<v Speaker 2>suck and still win it.

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>That could just be it.

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's not gonna win them postseason series,

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:10.240
<v Speaker 2>and that's really what we want.

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the difference in winning the division or not

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 1>is are Cal and Julio gonna get hot at some point?

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Or are they gonna stay like this all year? That's

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the difference.

0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I would totally agree with that. They're gonna need to

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:24.359
<v Speaker 2>play better against the Reds, and they're also gonna need

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.639
<v Speaker 2>to just win the series against the Reds because this

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 2>has been such an issue this year. We're stringing together

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 2>series wins and looking good in multiple series is just

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:39.239
<v Speaker 2>so difficult. The stretcher, they won eight games in row

0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:40.880
<v Speaker 2>levels forty one games ago.

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 4>Mm hmm.

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 2>That's a long time. That's almost half of what they

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.719
<v Speaker 2>have played so far. That's how long ago that was.

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:52.160
<v Speaker 2>You can't it's really hard to say like, yeah, we've

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 2>done that before, we could do it again. It's like,

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:55.439
<v Speaker 2>well that was kind of a long time ago and

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 2>you've only done it once. So we're just gonna need

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:01.639
<v Speaker 2>to see the Mariners take advantage of a bad Reds

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 2>team and play better like and in this Red series,

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 2>hit some timely home runs and play clean defense and

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 2>consistently hit with runners in scoring position, and preferably don't

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:17.919
<v Speaker 2>get shut out one of these games. Well that's what

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I would like to see.

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've got great news for you here. On Monday,

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 1>they get to face Andrew Rabbit, a LEFTI to start,

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and then they get Chase Burns on Tuesday.

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh one run loss.

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Chase Burns. For anybody that hasn't followed the Reds all

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 1>that closely this year has been absolutely dominant. He was

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>just an all star. I mean, they get Brady's singer

0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday. That's a little bit of a lighter pitching matchup.

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:47.400
<v Speaker 1>It's him versus Emerson, but Abbott and Burns the first

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:49.960
<v Speaker 1>two days, well, it'll be an adventure.

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's definitely one way to put it. Yeah, But

0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 2>in summary, they do need to play better against the Reds,

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 2>and we're home being they really do. There's a couple

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:04.760
<v Speaker 2>more points we're gonna hit on to wrap up this podcast,

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:08.680

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 2>is heading to double A as expected. As soon as

0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 2>he started hitting this season, you get the thought in

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 2>your mind that all right, this is tracking well for

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 2>him to get to Arkansas during the summer, and it

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>seems like according to his Instagram, the Mariners pulled a

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 2>trigger on that today.

0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 1>He's played about ninety games now, and Everett, you can

0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 1>take the eleven from the end of last year and

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 1>then pair it with the games he's played this year,

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 1>and what he's done in half a season down or

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 1>in hi A this year is put up a one

0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:53.960
<v Speaker 1>forty WRC plus. He's on pace for a twenty five

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:58.600
<v Speaker 1>home run season. He's swiped eighteen bases already, he has

0:29:58.680 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 1>hit well from both sides of the player right, and

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:05.600
<v Speaker 1>he has really really gotten that strikeout rate under control

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 1>since at about twenty percent now, where he's also drawn

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>his walks. So what this looks like is the Felonine

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Sealestam that you you know, I'm not saying he is

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a bona fide big league star at age twenty when

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.640
<v Speaker 1>he simply get into Arkansas because he's he's not, you

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>have so much more to prove. But the half a

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 1>season we've seen out of felnin now, with him healthy

0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and with him truly hitting and showing the combo of

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 1>speed and power, I mean, this is the prospect you

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 1>dreamed on when you signed him as this mega international

0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>free agent star. When you got him. Oh and your

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 1>MIC's off. Nice job.

0:30:42.440 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I was just drinking water.

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Oops, there you go, now what you want to say.

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't expect Felnin's numbers to be quite as high

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 2>in Arkansas. Just look at like what laz and Arroyo

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 2>did and then sort of grade that on a curve

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of what to expect for Feldine, I'd say it's to win.

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 2>If Felning's like a seven an eighty to eight hundred

0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:06.080
<v Speaker 2>ops guy in Arkansas, given that ballpark, He's not going

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:08.240
<v Speaker 2>to play in Triple A until probably a year from

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 2>now at a best case scenario. So now is again

0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 2>some time to exert patients as Felonin's can adjust to

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 2>the biggest jump in minor league baseball, going from a

0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 2>ball all the way up to double A. The other

0:31:23.960 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 2>thing that I was thinking about with this is that

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 2>if they're promoting Felnin, I don't think Johnny Farmel is

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 2>that far behind. Johnny Farmelo. Since May first has a

0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 2>nine to nine ops so one thirty five WORC plus

0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:40.560
<v Speaker 2>he's walking fifteen percent of the time. He's been really,

0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 2>really good. I mean he's been now the second best

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 2>hitter on that ever team, I guess among the prospects

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 2>besides Felnin in that stretch, he also has ten home

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 2>runs in twelve doubles, so that's pretty good.

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:56.120
<v Speaker 1>He's been awesome. Good for him too, because he got

0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:57.720
<v Speaker 1>off to a bit of a slow start to begin

0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the year. Now he is really and he is really

0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>hitting his stride, and he's fully healthy this year. He's

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 1>not battling the injuries again. It's pretty cool to say.

0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I would bet you it is. Pretty soon we see

0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Johnny get the call and the promotion.

0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:18.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so too, So happy for those guys.

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.120
<v Speaker 2>And then the last thing to note here on this podcast, Lile,

0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 2>is that the Mariners announced their rotation plans for I

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 2>guess the next week, the first turn through the rotation,

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:33.240
<v Speaker 2>we are going to get one more or one more

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 2>at least one more full turn through the rotation. As

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:39.360
<v Speaker 2>a six man rotation. Everyone's going to get a turn

0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:42.360
<v Speaker 2>coming here out of the break. I'm guessing they're just

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna do it again once they run through this rotation

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 2>one more time, because that will put them right at

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 2>about the trade deadline.

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, but I better not see one more piggyback

0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>or six man rotation and pass the date of August third,

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>when that trade deadline's over. This better be done. Whether

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody's traded or you make a definitive decision, that's the

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>deadline at this point, no more, not one more day passed.

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 1>This has got to be it because if the only

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:19.920
<v Speaker 1>reason you're doing this, whether you'll say it publicly or not,

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:23.200
<v Speaker 1>is to keep everybody stretched out to maximize the trade

0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:26.800
<v Speaker 1>value of all your starters, including Luis Castillo. Fine, and

0:33:26.880 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I get why you can't say that publicly, but that's

0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>why I say this better be done after the trade deadline.

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, why did they Why did they come out with

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:44.600
<v Speaker 2>the group piggyback? The more I think back on this,

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the more it just it just seems kind of silly.

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 1>It's all been silly. This whole plan, this whole year

0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 1>has been silly.

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Well it got I mean, I mean Adam Jude reported

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 2>the story that was I mean, he's given information by

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the team on what their plans were, which was great

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and good for Adam forgetting that scoop they made. They

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 2>made a decently big deal out of like here's our plan,

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Like Trent Blanks stayed up all night putting this together,

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:17.399
<v Speaker 2>and it is had all of these options, we got

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 2>everyone to agree to it. It's it's great, but they

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:21.160
<v Speaker 2>didn't even do it.

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:24.319
<v Speaker 1>No, oh, I did it once and then they pulled

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a plug.

0:34:24.920 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 2>They did it once with Bryce and Louise. Yeah, would

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 2>already piggyback to begin with, and then as soon as

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 2>it got to everyone else they decided not to do it. Whatever,

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 2>man again two more times through? What is that? That's

0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 2>twelve games? Twelve games puts the Mariners right at Well,

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 2>they've done it three times now, so they have about

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 2>nine turns left in the rotation, and they have fourteen

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 2>days until the deadline, so they'll have to like dip

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:52.839
<v Speaker 2>into it for a third time. But they're gonna trade

0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:55.520
<v Speaker 2>one of these guys. I mean, it could happen by

0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 2>the end of that second turn. So yeah, hopefully two

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 2>more turns and and someone's getting sent to the bullpen.

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>By the way, these games they've got up until the

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:10.319
<v Speaker 1>trade deadline are pretty important because it's gonna dictate how

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 1>they approach this deadline one way or another. They've all

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:15.440
<v Speaker 1>flat on their If they all flat on their face

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and rip off six of eight losses, then.

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:22.520
<v Speaker 2>What I think you have to buy? No matter what,

0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I really don't think you can let the results of

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the next two weeks impact how you approach the trade deadline.

0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 2>The league is too bad, Yeah, you just need to

0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:34.719
<v Speaker 2>make it. You just need to get in.

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.960
<v Speaker 1>You also have a very important four game series right

0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:40.960
<v Speaker 1>after the Reds with the Rangers. Like that four games

0:35:41.000 --> 0:35:43.919
<v Speaker 1>is gonna determine a lot, God forbid, they go get

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:45.839
<v Speaker 1>boat raced in Texas and all of a sudden, you're

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:47.959
<v Speaker 1>down four games in the division with a week before

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the trade deadline.

0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:52.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think you can let that discourage you.

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:54.879
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be about to.

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Make What about the three games after the Dodgers immediately

0:35:58.200 --> 0:35:58.520
<v Speaker 1>after the.

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Rangers Again, I just don't think it's worth selling, Like

0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 2>what is selling get you for the marior nurse?

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, I never really agree on selling,

0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 1>because this team is not in a market and a

0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:13.800
<v Speaker 1>position where they should ever be essentially forfeiting a season,

0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:16.960
<v Speaker 1>especially in a bad American league. I'm just saying they

0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 1>might not as aggressively buy as they might if they

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:22.640
<v Speaker 1>were to rip off a bunch of wins. I'm not

0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 1>saying they'll full on sell, but they might not be

0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:25.840
<v Speaker 1>as aggressive.

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 2>And standing pat wouldn't be good either. I think there's

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:30.960
<v Speaker 2>only one option once they reach the deadline. It's to

0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:33.000
<v Speaker 2>buy as hard as possible. I hope, so I have

0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 2>plenty of prospects. This is your window. Everyone gets more

0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:42.880
<v Speaker 2>expensive season after season. You could be six games out

0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:45.640
<v Speaker 2>of a playoff spot by the deadline and I still

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:47.680
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't care. Like you can make that up in two months.

0:36:47.760 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 2>That shouldn't be a problem. You still want to get

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:51.759
<v Speaker 2>make your team better. But I do agree with you

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Lyle that. I mean, it's at least gonna set the

0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:57.920
<v Speaker 2>tone like your team needs to Your team does need

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:00.719
<v Speaker 2>to at some point prove they are worthy for We've

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:02.880
<v Speaker 2>heard that in the past, and I would agree with that,

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:06.319
<v Speaker 2>like the team needs to prove, hey, we're worth investing in,

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:09.440
<v Speaker 2>even though if I think on the outside that they

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:12.160
<v Speaker 2>should do it no matter what, and the eyes of

0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 2>executives and guys whose jobs are tied to success and

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 2>health of team, they might look at the players and say,

0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 2>you need to prove you're worth it. That's a reason

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:25.359
<v Speaker 2>that they made the Paul Seawalled trade in twenty twenty three,

0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:28.319
<v Speaker 2>where they were kind of in between. You remember they

0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 2>let they waited until that last series before the deadline,

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 2>that Diamondback series where Canzone ironically walked them off.

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:38.359
<v Speaker 1>He didn't walk them off, but he had a late

0:37:38.640 --> 0:37:39.879
<v Speaker 1>game deciding hit.

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, right, So he had a big hit in

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that series, and they ended up trading Paul Seawall to

0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks and getting Canzone back. And the Mariners used

0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:52.480
<v Speaker 2>that series to justify if they were gonna trade Taoscar

0:37:52.560 --> 0:37:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez or not or Aoeniosuauz.

0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so crazy.

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can let that creep into your mind,

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 2>but I do think the team needs to, you know,

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:09.200
<v Speaker 2>show something in these games. They're also just big, not

0:38:09.239 --> 0:38:12.160
<v Speaker 2>even because of the trade deadline, because at some point

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:17.239
<v Speaker 2>you have to show that like the team you were

0:38:17.239 --> 0:38:19.680
<v Speaker 2>for the first hundred games isn't actually what you are

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and you're something better than that. And if the Mariners

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 2>split or lose three or four in Texas and get

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:28.239
<v Speaker 2>swept by the Dodgers, then that's just telling us you're

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:29.120
<v Speaker 2>not a very good team.

0:38:29.400 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all the more reason. You better go take advantage

0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of the Reds this week, buy yourself some cushion before

0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to go to Texas up and then to

0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:40.200
<v Speaker 1>La Yeah.

0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:43.000
<v Speaker 2>So then and then your last series before the deadline

0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:47.319
<v Speaker 2>is at home against the Minnesota Twins, who won't be

0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:49.080
<v Speaker 2>trading you Byron box In. No.

0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 1>But again, those games against Texas in LA are going

0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to mean a lot. So you want to set yourself up,

0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you better go take care of the Reds. You didn't

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 1>take I mean, you took care of the Giants enough,

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:02.880
<v Speaker 1>you didn't all that inspiring doing it. You better go

0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:05.920
<v Speaker 1>win back to back series against them in the Reds.

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm one hundred percent there with you. We will

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:14.240
<v Speaker 2>have Joe Doyle for Wednesday's episode to talk Mariner's draft.

0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:17.800
<v Speaker 2>We haven't done a full comprehensive draft breakdown, so Joel

0:39:17.920 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 2>will be joining us for Wednesday's episode. That should be

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:22.319
<v Speaker 2>a fun one, so don't want to miss that, and

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 2>then we will be full go until the trade deadline.

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Will have plenty to talk about, so much hopefully positive stuff,

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and that would involve them continuing to win some games.

0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's hope they find a way to do that. Let's really,

0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 1>let's really hope. But yeah, excited to talk to Joe
