This is Bump and Stacey on Seattle Sports.

Streaming through the Seattle Sports app and at Seattlesports.com.

Now, here are your hosts, Michael Bumpus and Stacey Ross.

We are with you for about an hour before we send you to the Mariners pregame show because the Seattle Mariners have a chance to beat the A's and take over first place in the AOS.

But Bump, that is not what we're talking about to start the show.

We'll get to the Mariners and headline rewrites coming up at 10.15.

Right now we got to talk about Mike McDonald dropping a bar.

And look, I'm always envious, Bump, as you know, of people who say cool things.

You do it so effortlessly sometimes.

But I think you'll be very proud of what you hear from Mike McDonald here.

He's talking about, this is from OTAs yesterday, off-season messaging and says rather than running it back,

they want to run it forward.

We're using the term we want to run it forward,

it meaning our process and who we are.

And I think this is going to be a conversation that,

you know, something that we're going to talk about consistently.

I don't think it's a one and done type of conversation.

Really, it's just how we talk about how we operate all the time.

You know, it's something that we're having conversations with our team and our units every day about who we want to be and how we want to do things.

And this situation

is no different. So it's really nothing more or less than that.
