This is not Dave, Softie Maller, that is not Dick Fane, Jackson, Felts anders Hurst.
Here.
They've let the inmates run the asylum, I guess. And there's no goofing around today. We have to actually do some work and talk about the sports we let Softie and Dick talk about all day every day.
Yeah, and it's weird because I'm going from the pros pro and ian for ness in the one to three show to now the producers are running the show from the three to seven drive time radio. So I get both ends of the spectrum today. But appreciate you have me on with you, and it's gonna be fun. This is gonna be a fun day today. Softie is still in Greece. I think he's traveling to London tomorrow because
my friend Adam Nathan over in London spurs fan. I said, Oh, I'm gonna meet up with Softy and as Oh, so Softie's going from Greece to London, you know? Is he just gonna traverse the entire globe before he makes his way back to Seattle. He's gonna be out for I mean a few more days. Dick Fane calling a Storm game tonight. He's back tomorrow with Hugh Millen. But yeah, Jackson Felts anders Hurst here taking you up all the way to seven o'clock. You know, it was funny Andrews
kind of prepping for this shows. It's we've we've done so much together, you know, because we do the Hollywood Weekly podcast talking movies and TV and I don't know how many hours we've spent talking Star Wars and other media. And it's like, Okay, you a little bit different here, buddy. We actually have to talk some sports day and there's
I mean there's quite a lot. I mean, especially seeing as how it's a Mariner team that coming off of that road trip and coming off of Sunday's loss, which feels like yesterday, because today feels like a Monday.
I don't know about you, man, but I'm still frustrated.
I'm still fuming off of Sunday because you're looking at a situation. There's so much to talk about with Dan Wilson and some questions to ask him. But before we get into the Mariners, quickly outline today's show. We're gonna talk some more MS at four o'clock with ty Dane Gonzalez. He hosts the Mariners Locked On podcast. He'll be joining us later on. We're also gonna have our normal Tuesday guests.
John Wilner from the San Jose Mercury News The Willner Hotline at five o'clock talks some call sports.
There is a new.
Format to the college football playoff, and thank goodness it came now and not a year ago when it would have benefited Oregon.
So John'd joined at five o'clock.
We're gonna hear from Dan Wilson ahead of the Mariners opening series tonight against the Nationals. We're here at five thirty. Brian Schmester, five forty five. You make the call six o'clock. Textimonials four nine, four or five to one to the unsponsored text line, send them an all day every day,
four nine, four or five to one. But Anders, yeah, man, let's let's start with the Mariners, because overall this road trip six and four, you get the sweep in San Diego, start strong, you get the series win against Chicago and then losing three to four to Houston. And it's how you lost three to four of Houston, and it's how Sunday's game went down.
It just it leaves you feeling so frustrated.
Man.
Yeah, and it's as someone who hosts a daily Mariners postcast, like is what we call it. So it's the postgame show right on the Lockdown Mariners YouTube channel. It's weird, like because we react to that specific game in that specific game only. But when you put it in the grand scheme of things, if you were to tell me going into the ten game road trip, three in San Diego, three in Chicago, and then four in Houston, that we would end up six and four, Yeah, I would take
that ten times out of ten. Then I would have expected, Okay, if that's the case, and we probably take two of three in San Diego, we probably take two of three in Chicago, and then we split the Houston series. Great, I would have like, imagine how much different it feels if that's the case. But it's the same record, but except and having the last series. But the Houston series also makes a difference because that's the last thing that
you're reacting to. But you sweep in San Diego, so that gives you like kind of that buffer room for error, so to speak. And then but you do drop three of four in the final series against Houston, which it does hurt you a little bit more than the previous scenario, because you know, we've seen so many times in the past couple of years that like these one or two games that you play against division rivals can come back as tiebreakers. So right, I mean, we'll get into the
game in just a sec. But I just want overall, I think six and four road trip isn't the end of the one.
I mean, flip it the other way around. Let's say that we get swept by San Diego and we say three of four from Houston and we end up, you know, getting the six wins that way, and we're saying, Okay, we're coming off of a win on Sunday, saying we just look at leading the AL West. It's suddenly expanded to what it would be five and a half, maybe six and a half games, whatever it ends up being.
So it's entirely different because it was the Astros, because the race in the West has just tightened so much so, and because of I think how Sunday's game went, and because Sunday was one of the more frustrating games of the year. Man, I mean, there's so many Dan Wilson decisions to talk about. He gets ejected for the first time ever that this is a player or coach exactly. Yeah. I mean you think about how many years and games
he spent, you know, a catcher behind the plate. He's never been ejected once, and then he chooses that time to get ejected. One of the weirdest occasions where it's the strikeout to Randy Rose Arena. It wasn't even I don't think listen las Diaz had a bad game. Yeah, it's very obvious he had a poor game, but that strikeout that came right before the ejection, that wasn't a
bad strike call at the end. At the end of the day, I think it's just the accumulation of everything and maybe I don't know, Danny trying to spark his team but backfired.
Yeah.
Well, and it's funny because this is a well known thing with MLB managers. It's it's one of those situations where maybe he wasn't like, oh my god, that was a strike. That's why I'm coming out to argue. He's trying to get his team fired up. His teammates like know that they have hit or he has their back. It's it would be a great time to rally and kind of come back from this. That wasn't the only weird part about his decision making.
But there's a lot.
Yeah, you're you're so right. A was not a strike. B Randy or Rose Arena was just having a pretty tame conversation with Las Dia was like, hey, just checking to see if that was a strike sort of situation. They both speak Spanish. I'm sure it was a lot along those lines. And then you just see Dan Wilson come out of nowhere, feel me, and it's like where did this come from? And you could see even Randy's like what's going on here? It was a weird time
to do it. I can understand if, like everyone's feeling frustrated and like, oh my god, we just and then your manager does that and it gets everyone fired up, But I don't think it was the right time to do it. I understand you to pick your moments to get your team fired up and like maybe spark a comeback, but like you said, it didn't end up being the case. I just wonder, you know, some other pitching decisions were going on.
Yeah, let's talk about Casey like a mean because he goes for two innings on Saturday and then he pitches the ninth inning on Sunday and obviously he gives up the walk off shot to Christian Walker, and I'm kind of just, you know, for Dan Wilson, I will listen. Maybe he's not the one making that call in that moment. I like to think that the decisions were already made and planned out, but at the end of the day, I mean, it's a guy pitching on Sunday. I'm not
sure how tax that bullpen was. Maybe there were guys who just were strictly not available and you have but if there was one guy who wasn't available, it should be somebody who pitched two winnings the previous day out of the pen. I don't get having Casey there in that spot. And also, I mean Matt Brash, who had faced what two batters prior. Maybe Matt Brash's pitch count is ten that would surprise me, but still he's faced two guys. He could come in in the ninth ready
to go and kind of start you off. And if you have to bring in Casey after Brash has you know, faced a number of you know, pitches, fine, but I guess I don't understand going Casey over Brash in that moment, and I'll be interested to hear why Dan or why his staff continued with that decision.
So to me, it's an obvious case of pitching to the back of the baseball card. I am fine with not going Brash there. I would have started Brash in the inning instead of Colin Snyder in the eighth inning, but they end up doing Coln Snyder. He gets a couple guys on base, but also gets an out. Brash ends up having the bases loaded and he gets out of it.
That's fine.
The ninth inning, though, is the big one to me because this has happened all year, And this is where Dan Wilson and Scott's Service are very different managers, right. Scott's Service would always put his best reliever in the most high leveraged situation, no matter at what time in the game that came. So, say you're facing the top of the lineup in the eighth inning and you're up by a run, that's where he would use Andres Munyos.
He wouldn't wait till the ninth inning for a save quote unquote opportunity.
But that's what Dan Wilson's done all year.
Dan Wilson has waited until the Mariners have had the lead for Andre's Munas to come in.
Changes somebody else than Dan making this call to no. I think this is Dan.
This is because this is what we did before with Scott's service, and then now this is what Dan Wilson is doing. Yeah, but this is a this situation where you need to change your approach because like having to wait for Andres Munos until you have a lead. Of course, it was tied in the ninth inning at that point, so you're waiting for the Mariners to take high leverage situation still, and you're managing a situation where that situation
might not come. And it didn't come, you risk not having the opportunity to use your best picture and waiting for something that isn't likely to come, and that's what ends up happening if you're saving Andres Munos for that save situation. And it's not like he wasn't available. He had the day before off, the Mariners had Monday off, so he was completely able to pitch. They were just waiting for the Mariners to take the lead. And I
understand a little bit. Munyos has actually talked in multiple you know situations with the media and said he likes knowing exactly when he's gonna come in. He knows he's gonna be the ninth inning pitcher, and he knows he's gonna be the closer quote unquote. But I think in this situation, you have to use your best picture against the middle of Houston's lineup to try and split this series.
Exactly because it's such a device. This game is the difference between one and three and two and two, the mentality coming home, finishing the road trip. And I agree and that circumstance, but I mean, you know, we have ty Dan Gonzol as a host of the Lockdown Mariner podcast at four o'clock, and I also want to ask him about the overall you know, thinking and philosophy of
how Dan Wilson uses his pitchers. It's starters, I should say, because we've seen him kind of, for lack of a better word, baby guys and just make sure that they can, you know, go deep into September or maybe October by limiting their pitch count. And you've seen that, you know, over the end of last season and this season so far. And then we see Luis Castill go out and throw one hundred and fourteen pitches, second most pitches he's ever thrown in a Seattle uniform on Sunday, And I love that,
don't don't, baby, I want to see this constantly. Maybe this is the new philosophy of Wilson is just I have horses like Luis Castillo.
I have a rock.
Literally, let's go use that. So I liked seeing Luis Castillo go to one hundred and fourteen. I guess I would just, you know, wonder that kind of dichotomy between I'm gonna ask ty this lit four o'clock, the element of using guys, so it's one hundred and fourteen pitches, but also saying now we want it. Maybe it's the age, I don't know, anders, Maybe it's the element of, you know,
younger guys. I want to watch the pitch count there because we have to think about not only twenty twenty five, but we have to think about twenty six, twenty seven, and Luis Castillo may not be part of the extended place, but yeah, either way, it just interests me how the thought process of using starters can be so different.
Yeah, and so if you put everything in context in that game, So if you are gonna wait for munios until you have the lead. If you are not gonna necessarily use Gabe Spire, a couple guys aren't available. As we talked about earlier, that makes more sense and why he extended Luis Castillo's to be like, hey, you gotta get through six.
We can't have.
Another reliever coming in, and we need to get more outs than we have available. But I also think what you said is very true. The age comes, it becomes a huge factor. Injury history becomes a huge factor. Luis Castillo, as you said, is a rock.
He is.
Ever since he came to Seattle, he has made almost every single start that's available to him. That's why I think he's actually one of the more valuable starters. I understand he's kind of on the tail end of his career and he's not as dominant as when he first came here, but the best of best abilities availability in fact, especially as a starting pitcher when there's so many injuries and knowing that you're going to get six innings out of a guy every single time. I understand he didn't
have his best start, but I love that. I didn't hate that. I should say hate the decision to stick with Luis Custio in that game, it ends up kind of hurting them because he gives up the double that ties the game. At that point, you could have gone to a reliever, maybe been a little bit more proactive. I don't hate that one. It's the closing. It's the closing situation that I was furious about it exactly. I mean, at the end of the day, it was one of
crazy stat As I was watching the game. How at one point the Houston just kept getting single after single after single, and eventually.
It made him pay.
But at one point across games, the Astros had hit twenty four straight singles. Yep, I haven't seen that many singles since I was using dating apps in twenty twelve, Like twenty forms all right, straight singles for Houston. I mean, I guess credit to the starting staff for you know, limiting a yeah, but.
It was amazing.
I think the other big storylining outside of Dan Wilson's decision making is the offense, because I think we've credited it rightly, so you know, Edgar and Sitzer and that whole crew for their hitting approach this year. But I think specifically the stat that kind of wowed me, it felt coming out of Sunday's game, And let me see if you felt the same way before I give you this stat. It felt that wow, runners left on base and runners left in scoring position, that for me was
just the glaring red alarm in that game. And I thought to myself after watching it, Yeah, it feels like that's kind of been a little bit of a problem this season. It kind of felt that way before I looked into the stats. Has it felt that way for you or maybe you have looked into the stats.
I haven't looked into exactly because a lot of the RASP numbers can be inflated because a lot of the teams that have the most runners left on base I think, is that the one you're talking about, Yeah, that means
you're getting more opportunities with runners left on base. So if they actually look at Mariners of the twenty three and twenty four where I would say our offense was worse than it is now at situational hitting, at everything year the last two years, but it's because they weren't even getting the opportunity.
It's the point.
So getting runners on base in general is the bigger issue I think, or not issue but that's the bigger number to look for. But you're right, I don't think their offense in situational hitting with runners on base in less than two outs has improved as much as other parts of it has exactly.
I mean, I think I think that's that's pretty correct there. And because Sunday I looked up ten men left on base for the Mariners. On Sunday, the Astros had eleven. I think that's the story of the game's both teams. But this season over I mean, then this is also a team second most home runs in the American League. This team hits the Long Bowl, but overall with runners left on base, we're at seven point three eight a game. That's second from the bottom in the league. We're the
second worst team with runners left on base. So yes, Edgar Citzer, the whole Danny, the whole staff should be credited with the hitting approach. But I need to see that number go down, the runners left on base, and we saw it so much on Sunday. That needs to drop because we can't be having ten in a game. You know, that is a we fast forward. I mean, what if that game's in September and we have ten runners left on base we're going to be out of our minds.
Well, I mean, that's basically what happened in twenty twenty two in the eighteen zero games.
Don't remind me about that, but uh.
Yeah, And you're what you're outlining there so eloquently is that the Mariners are a team that relies on the long ball. Yeah, and when they don't hit home runs, they don't score runs. And they have been doing well at hitting home runs this year, better than in the last couple of years, mainly because of Cal Rawley, Jne Polanco's hot streak to start the season. Now, I have concerns about Polonko right now because he has been bad in the month of May and he does not look healthy.
That's something are gonna ask Tie as well at four o'clock. I'm wondering maybe if there's an ale stint coming with him. But they need him to be right, and you're seeing Julio kind of opposite, had a slow April, but then his month of May was really good. So Cal has just been good all year long. And if the Mariners don't hit home runs, which I mean, if you're looking at all of the ways that baseball contributes luck, especially offensively.
Hitting home runs is the way to take luck out of it, because if you hit it over the fence, you can't, like, no one can catch it. You like, it's not like a pretty good random place that you put it in the grass where it's like hit it
where they ain't sort of situation. So that is the way to kind of remove that, but it does hurt your situational hitting when maybe home runs aren't as likely and you need to just move a runner over or just put the ball in play it you're seeing those deficiencies still, even with the improvement of the offenses.
We're up against the break, but we don't have time to get into Dylan Moore the leadoff hitter experiment.
Let's be done with that. That's all I have to say. Let's be done with well. I can't say it any better myself. We have a lineup out for the Seattle Marions. We also have injury updates from Mariners general manager Justin Hollander. We'll get to that coming up as the Mariners are starting Game one of a three game series tonight against the Nationals over at Teamobile Park. Got Logan Evans on
the mound today. George Kirby tomorrow. Emerson Hancock on Thursday, ty Dan Gonzalez from the Lockdown Mariners podcast joining us at four o'clock. John Wilner talking some college football the new playoff format. At five o'clock Brian Schmetzer five forty five. We'll also hear from Dan Wilson. We'll get something you make the call text Ammonials four nine, four five one. Coming up at four forty five.
Jackson Feltz and Andershurst in for Dave Softy Maller and Dick fan will continue and give you that Mariner's lineup, give you some very interesting injury updates from Justin Hollander.
We'll get to that and more next.
On Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Podcasting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Back to Saftie and Dig powered by Emerald Queen Casino, the Betty and Capital of the Northwest. On Sports Radio and ntties three point three kJ r.
FM, Jackson Felts, anders Hurst in for Dave Softie Maller who is in Greece right now, I think traveling to London tomorrow.
Dick fane Off calling a Seattle Storm game tonight so myself and Anders rocking all the way till seven pm tonight. Andrews, you ready to give away one hundred dollars on Thursday?
Oh yeah, let's uh. I'm excited for that. It's coming out of your own pocket, by the way. Oh what and every single hour for five weeks? Yeah, great for that.
Speak you see, not Thursday, you see note thursdays they are back.
Thankfully they're not coming out of Anders pocket because I would not be able to supply that very much. Certainly.
All right, well, everybody get ready for Thursday, and you don't need to call now. We're not hitting a sounder, but there will be a queue to call coming up on Thursday, becau because every Thursday, between this Thursday and Many twenty ninth and Thursday July tenth, we're gonna be given away one hundred dollars.
Every hour or it'll roll over the next hour. Here's how it works.
Starting at six am, you'll be directed to text your first and last name and the city you're from the four nine, four or five to one. Then at the top of the next hour, one name will be called out. That listener will have five minutes to call back and claim their one hundred dollars. If they don't call back in that five minutes, the one hundred dollars will roll over.
It's become a fun little competitive thing here with our shows, seeing who ends up having the best percentages and seeing if we end up, you know, getting every single hour except for one, which is the show that breaks the perfect game. So look forward to that on Thursday, and hopefully many many of you will be getting one hundred dollars every hour. Again goes all the way until Thursday,
July tenth. We have a Mariner's lineup out Anders for tonight's Game one against the Nationals of this three game homestand JP Crawford leading off for Rodriguez.
God, I was ready for it. I hadn't looked at it. I was waiting for you to say the name.
But yes, that experiment can can kindly, I don't know if it.
Will because it's like they do it against lefties. So do I have any other options? I mean, I just I I'll get to that after you name the lineup.
I'll get to what I am once again, leading off, JP Crawford, Julio Rodriguez, second, cal Rawl.
Your catcher is third. Randy A.
Rose Arena, Mitch Garver. Mitch Garver clutch hit on Sunday. He's back in the lineup, batting fifth today. Then, yes, he's in there. Dylan Moore. Then Donovan Solano is your first baseman, de leyland Tavares your right fielder, and of course Williamson is at third base, rounding app the lineup before we talked about that. Anders Also injury updates from Justin Holland or Hollanders spoke at T Mobile Park a little bit of go has some news here first up
and noverybody wants to know about the starting pitching. And I have a question for you about the starting pitching. About the Mariners Logan Gilbert, his rehab assignment will start later this week. I guess that's good news that we are seeing kind of the end of the tunnel for Logan Gilbert. Bryce Miller should return to the rotation during this homestand which is outstanding uses he has getting this
off of a Tim Booth's Twitter. He has a small bone spur in his elbow, but is not believed to be the cause of his inflammation.
That from Justin Hollander. Also a couple other notes.
Luke Rayley is back to Seattle this week, likely starting a rehab assignment next week June third. Victor Roeblace as well. He's to start strengthening in his shoulders soon, expected to return the major league roster in September. Not until then, baseball activities hopefully beginning in July. So long way out for Victor Roeblace. But I mean Anders with Logan Gilbert starting the rehab assignment later this week, with Bryce Miller returning to the rotation we've seen I mean Logan Elvins
goes tonight. I mean two and one, three point three to three e L five starts so far, he's looked pretty darn good. You also got Kirby back, you got Emerson Hancock, who's been looking good. I'm kind of wondering, is there an odd man out who you throw back down to Tacoma or do you dare build a six man rotation?
Yeah, I think as of now I would. I would definitely option Logan Evans back. I know his results have been okay. One of those was against the White Sox, though, and like he's gotten some luck, he does his stuff just I don't think is up to major league par just yet. And he's only was drafted a couple of years ago, so he's still I think could use one or two more years in the miners to kind of
develop his secondary pitches and such. He's definitely a fine option if you do have the injuries that you do have now. But the real question is when Logan Gilbert comes back, if you go with the normal five guy, what is that because Castillo wu Kirby Gilbert and Bryce Miller, and then that leaves out Emerson Hancock, who has I think done enough to show you at this point to stay on the major league team. I still think he's a pretty significant drop down. I want to see how
good Kirby looks in his second start. He was a little rusty in his first start. I want to see how good Bryce Miller looks when he comes back. Supposedly this rest has done wonders for him. If he's gonna be the same pitcher we saw last year, then I think that should be that's the biggest news for me. And then same thing with Logan Gilbert. So I think we have a while to go before we think about
putting Emerson Hancock back down. And if it does get to that point where they all look good, maybe you do kind of throw in a six man rotation.
I don't know.
Well, it goes back to the conversation we had earlier about how much Dan Wilson is using those arms and bathing his guys and making sure that they don't tax themselves too much because your thart thinking about September and October potentially, and when Luis Castile goes one hundred and fourteen pitches on Sunday, it says he's willing to kind of throw those guys out there, And maybe that's a thought of, Hey, I'm willing to go one hundred and
fourteen pitches because I know I'm about to give everybody an extra day arrest moving to a six man rotation. But at the same time, I mean the way that he's using Bryce Miller goes against that.
So same with Brian Wu exactly.
I think there's a couple of people he would do that with, especially now with Kirby coming off injury. He would have been one of those guys that I think you let go one hundred and fourteen. But I think at this point it's really only Luis Castillo, and when he's healthy, Logan Gilbert, Ryan Wu, they still he has a major injury history as well, so they're real, like you said, baby and those guys. So it just depends on who it is.
And there's another switching topics here. We'll get back to Mariners later on. But Seahawks OTAs started today out at the vMac. I know that because I woke up and saw the news, and because the Seahawks posted a picture of Sam Darnold walking out onto the field in one of those great old.
School royal blue Gosh, why I just go to those full time? Please do walking out to practice today. But it was.
It's interesting because usually there's a lot of buzz around this, and we get emails from the Seahawks saying, all right, here's your media schedule for OTAs, here's when the press conferences are, here's when media can be out at. I got none of that, and and I kind of just learned, okay, well, OTAs are beginning for the Seahawks today. And I guess for me, like there's obviously thoughts of okay, well, which rookie are you looking to see, which is a decent
question we can get into. But for me, the other element is just the fact that, boy, it's a beautiful day out. We're in the mid seventies and you know, rookies out there, the whole team, Sam Donold's out there. Sure would be nice Seahawks to open that up for you know, and this is very selfish, but we the media, and you know, it comes see take pictures, videos, put it out there, be part of the news cycle.
And I went back and looked and yeah, every.
Year it seems like the Seahawks welcome out media to the first day of OTAs. And I was out at Sounders practice Leer today talking with Masvita Naire.
We were kind of just chatting about it.
It is kind of weird that the Seahawks were closed today when you kind of just been I don't know, maybe it is selfish, but been part of the new cycle and you had press conferences and you know, hear from Mike McDonald on you know, getting going in beautiful. Well, I don't know, it kind of it could have gotten me a little bit hyped and in the mood for Seahawks and it kind of just falls flat a little bit because nobody's out there. At least that's just for me than the media.
I don't know.
Yeah, I think it's another symbol of the changing of the guard in Seattle. I think this is just another step of the process of this is becoming Mike McDonald's team and not no longer Pete Carroll's old team. Obviously he was the coach last year or so, but there was some remnants of that old like kind of just a transitional phase. But with Mike McDonald, he's a buttoned up guy. He likes to keep things kind of close to him. Never says anything, no soundbites whatsoever in terms
of like bulletin board material or anything like that. The bigger thing for me, though, that I saw from recent NFL news is ESPN has their FPI rankings, so it's kind of their analytics version of power rankings. Right, Okay, where do you think the Seahawks landed on those power.
Rankings on the and this is this is all based on analytics and right, yes, give me fourteenth lower their twenty first.
I mean first, that's the lower third.
Yes, the amount of hours spent by Dick Fane and Softy debating what lower third. What the difference of the was Gino Smith the eighteenth quarterback goes the twenty first quarterback different.
A few spots causes so many ements. That's so true, but it's like they also fourth in a division. According to these analytics their last they have the Rams at tenth, forty nine, Ers at eleventh, Cardinals at twentieth, and the Seahawks at twenty first. Ye I don't I personally, that's a that's way too low for me. I don't think. I think you guys talked about it on your show
last week, But this team was ten and seven last year. Now, I understand that the tenth win was against backups, so I always say they were nine and seven last year. The tenth game doesn't count because the last game against the Rams they put the backups in.
Yeah.
So, but they're not a worst team than they were last year. I think at worst they are the same team, and they have an easier schedule, So there's no way I think they're winning less than nine games this year. And like I can't say that about the the Niners, I can't say that about the Cardinals. Maybe you could say that about the Rams. But I just think the Seahawks are at least in the top half of this division. Typical ESPN, Yeah, typical. I mean it's analytics. It's not
like these these random like talk show hosts saying it. So, I mean whatever, I don't know what analytics you're using, but yeah, FPI or whatever.
You can twist stats to make your case in any certain way. Anyway, all right, we'll get a break here on the show. Jackson Felton andrews Hurst in for Dave Softi Maller and Dick Faine.

So we have to play it for him? Thankfully, No, we don't. We don't need that today.
Professional radio people here.
Jackson Anders sitting in for Dave, Softy Maller and Dick Faine to hear today, but all the usual Tuesday stuff, including fun with audio.
Anders, did you hear that? What's that? Jackson?
Let's go, Let's go to the world of inside the NBA. There's a couple of clips here. First up, Charles Barkley and Charles Barkley has had an issue with pronouncing names sometimes. Last week he could pronounce the name of Minnesota Timberwolves guard Nikkeil Alexander Walker. So over the weekend, mister Alexander Walker hears about Chuck not being able to pronounce his name and gives him a.
Little crap over it.
So then the NBA on t n T plays the clip from Nikkeiel Alexander Walker clowning Barkley, and Chuck gets to respond to him.
I thought, like in media, you know, they give them that, you know, in dictionaries, how they have like that pronunciation thing. Maybe he's not reading it. I don't know, but yeah, my name is Nikhil Alexander Walker.
Spell another brother named Diamond Quarter.
He's not French, and Alexander not Anderson.
But I'm the name Nichol is not a name, Nikhil Alexander Walker, great player.
Chuck Nikkeel's not Nickel.
Goodness gracious names though where it's like how do you say that? And they do for anyone who knows, like especially if you're in play by play. So maybe they didn't give Charles Barklay this this phonetic.
Spelling of it had to have been available to him, someway available versus like, hey, Charles, make sure you read this before you say a bunch of names and try and represent players.
You only have four teams to worry about, Charles. You have the four teams left in the playoffs.
Yeah, yeah, especially someone who's playing as well as Alexander walker.
Thank you, it's not yet exactly. Not Anderson, Alexander Walkers. My name's Anderson, not not Nicholas Nikkiel Barkley. All right, let's let's stick with Barkley here because this is another clip here he Andrews.
Did you hear that? What's that? Jackson?
Inside the NBA yesterday's broadcast, they did a promo finally, I've been just going so long we haven't talked soccer. They did a promo for the FIFA Club World Up starting next month, and Charles Barkley had some thoughts on soccer in America and a player that he called Christian Pulsik.
Thirty two clubs, eleven cities, four weeks and one World champion. Club World Cup begins June fourteenth on TMZ and streaming.
Shack On does.
All how we love?
Chuckle? Right now, let's say you look good man. We suck at soccer up? The women agree, the women a game Christian pulls pulls the game plan Hey right now? Women agree?
Christian Pulsic, Christian Policic, say it with me, Charles again, this is about pronouncing names.
Christian Policic.
Yeah, to be to be fair to Charles on this one. A it's not his sport. No, yeah, of course that's fine. And B there is a lot of like you'll hear announcers with Christian Polisic. H well, then on multiple broadcasts say it it's it's Polisic, it's policy, it's Christian. It's like, there's so many other are pool is sick pull a sick Like there's there's little like intricacies of his names specifically, so I'll give him a little pass on this.
I do love that they're promoting the Club World Cup, which the Seattle Sounders are in, by the way, everybody coming up in just less than three week hosting exactly hosting three of the biggest clubs around the world.
Uh so those those that's coming out anyway.
So the Club World Cup is specifically clubs as opposed to countries. But Shack's like America, right, America, Now that's next year, Shack. This is this is so we suck as a we suck as an American soccer country.
I guess anders the club club not the international teams. It's why it's called the FIFA Club World Cup.
Active listening, boys, active listening. And did you hear that what's that, Jackson? All right, let's go to we have time, let's go to four. I want to fit four in for sure. So this is an interesting one. Softy would hate this clip, which is why we're playing it because Softy hates when we ask him to listen intently to something. Actually like active listening. Right, listen very closely to this. So cal Rawly Homer's on Friday night against the Astros
is game winning to run shot. The call here is from Todd Kallus of the Houston Astros Space City Home Network on TV. So on this call from callus, if you listen closely, you can hear Aaron Goldsmith on the Root Sports call in the booth right next to callus.
Tied to three, and this is hit down the line and it is a fair ball and a Q run home run by cal Rally. Ball has hit a mile in the air. Maybe you couldn't hear it completely, but I could. It's very clear.
Is it fair?
Is it fair?
It is gone?
Eric Goldsmith, I love you. That was a great call, by the way, Oh yeah, one of the best I've heard and since the twenty twenty two season. Honestly, like it was so well timed so well put and also, okay, could you tell that the Houston guys could almost.
Be like is that Aaron? That's almost like a double take.
I love it.
It's sort of like when you you have certain field conditions that affect both teams, right, yes, and and you know that the condition so with these broadcasts booths, which are.
Clearly right next to each other.
Yeah, when there's a good asstos thing that happens, you're in here on route. When there's a good marinything that happens, you clearly just heard it on the Space City Home network.
I love it.
I love being able to have that blur. It's sort of like when you have a color analyst who taught I mean, Jay Buner does this, and I love it because soft indicated. I love it because I want to hear that color analyst. Yes, the fan come out and I want I want to hear the interesting elements, the unique elements of a broadcast kill another team's broadcast on top of your own.
I love it. It's great.
Side note, I love Jay Buner on all three of the call, like just and honestly not just him having him and Ryan Goldsmith as two analysts or sorry, Ryan Goldsmith, Ryan Rowland Smith with Aaron Goldsmith. So having both of those guys, I don't think it like they don't get in each other's way. They ask like questions, you got one hit or one pitcher? It's perfect. I loved the three man booth with with those three guys over the weekend, even though.
Lost three out of four, is still a great broadcast. Absolutely love it. All. Right, we'll switch gears here in Actually, well, no, we aren't gonna switch gears. We're gonna continue to talk Mariners because ty Dane Gonzalez is the host of the Locked On Mariner podcast. He also writes a belief for Emerald City Spectrums and DLM. So we're gonna talk to ty Da Gonzalez about the Mariners starting the series against the Nationals, coming off of that frustrating series down in Houston.
